The Saturday races were put up Sunday morning. Looking at the men's
race, the video quality hardly compares to Oskar's (HD?), or his
inclusion of other programming. WCSN is picking up the www.snowtime.com
broadcast, the latter being a part of the European Insport.com network.
Anyone know about either of them? Snowtime offers a subscription much
like WCSN's, but the rates are not posted, at least until a credit card
is entered. Insport doesn't have any offices in English speaking
countries, but the snowsport site does have an English version and the
(single) announcer was Brit, I believe. He's very good at European
names and seems to have prepared well from the crib sheets (and
listening to the stadium announcer for some pronunciations). He also
digs deep (voice) repeatedly and redundantly for dramatic effect, but
doesn't seem to know much about the sport or the WC circuit. The
broadcast picked up the common feed, as did NRK's, but I got the sense
that they cut the middle of the race out a bit compared to the
Norwegian broadcast. For those who don't have access to or want to
bother with downloading, or just like the familiarity of an English
speaking voice, WCSN offers seems made to fit. If they follow through.
