I get so excited when someone makes a response to one of my posts! It means that someone's actually reading my blog.
Anywho, Natalie seems to agree with my estimation of the dismal state of American TV broadcasts of figure skating. She alludes to the danger of U.S. Figure Skating losing their broadcasts rights, since their contract with ABC is up this year.
I think that there's reason to be gravely concerned about it, but my initial thought is that it's not as serious as many think. The press tends to catastrophize. I have opinions about the issue; it's my intention to write an article about it when I'm finished commenting on Worlds.
The problem with being busy is that things like that take a while. So it may be a couple of weeks before I can get to it. Now that the season's over, there's less to do, though. Please, my few readers, be patient.
I also plan on going to see the new f.s./Will Ferrel movie, "Blades of Glory," this week. I will publish a review almost immediately.

Thanks for your comment on my Blog.
My Two cents: There will always be a huge interest in watching figure skating so I think at least one of the channels will pick up the rights to air it.
In Europe they have a channel called Eurosport - i.e. sport that takes place in Europe - but they bought the rights to the worlds (In Asia!) and aired it.
With that in mind I think we're ok for the time being. Especially after such a great Womens competition in the worlds.
