Planet Canoe is moving their broadcasts from YouTube to Recast (same platform used by World Curling).

just another sport losing big part of theur (already small) audience.

 

time to cut them off the Olympic program (it should be the automatic punishment for those who leave the free comfortable streaming platforms for obscure and/or paid services).

 

my beloved Judo is another sport that needs a big slap in their face because of their choices about the media coverage

Good news is that World Cup I from Szeged is on ES/D+ as usual this weekend, so I guess it is only people from countries like    &  who will have to shell out their micro-dollars.

Do these small sports really think the wisest decision is taking money from those shitty streaming services that nobody will buy? 

 

Yes, YT is no money but long term your sport is going to lose a lot of casual audience forever....

Curling is a bit different because with their streaming service they can show 4 simultaneous games 3 times per day ie 12 games, so probably do have a reason to be there if that makes money for them.
 

But I agree, it is crazy for canoeing or many other sports where there is only ever one single focus, although a lot of heats, para etc which don’t get shown on TV.

Hmmmpph, well Planet Canoe on YT does have all today’s races, just in the annoying chopped-up one video per event format.  If you want the single deluxe live stream, it’s on Recast.  
 

Forgot that I’d put in £10 into Recast to watch the Curling a while back, so here’s a review!  It’s well cheaper than the Curling, say about €0.20 - €0.40 cents for a single session. (Curling is €1.00 - €2.00).   Picture quality, sound, comms (random Aussie, like the Olympic Channel) all look fine to me.
 

So depends how much you’re willing to pay to escape the usual annoying YT ads-every-five-minutes format.
