Upcoming Figure Skating Shows, Tours and Exhibitions
Page
Shows, tours, exhibitions, made for TV specials, etc. This is
where all the non-competition skating related event info that I
find interesting will get deposited. 8)
Many competitions will also be broadcast. Once the event
takes place, it becomes a show. But until I have a broadcast
date (and the event has yet to take place) it remains only on
the upcoming competition page. If I
have a date it'll be on both pages with appropriate links for
more info.

Ice Time
A one hour performance, commentary and interview show (in that
order it seems as well 8) show with Debbi Wilkes. The show is
named after Debbi's book Ice
Time, although other than the pictures in the background of
the set, there doesn't seem to be any repetition of material.
Currently in reruns, the show has been renewed for
another season
- Friday 8:30PM MST YTV
Saturday 10AM MST CTV
Sunday 2:30PM MST YTV
Bigshots
This is a "hip" sports show targetted at kids. The first 4
episodes or so had interviews with figure skaters (not
necessarily about skating, but always about something sport
related) but there has been a veritable drought ever since.
Also (for those who find such things interesting 8) there is
always a segment about inline skating.

I may be missing some airings, I also believe it runs on TSN?
