Maybe the ISU did read my email. So the first day of the brand new World Tour event the 'Where to Watch' page https://www.isu.org/short-track/media/wtw/ is showing a 404 error. Oh dear. BUT good news, because they now have live streams scheduled on their YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@SkatingISU/streams

DiscoveryPlus is usually a good service because you can watch on a delay, it's just strange they are not listing it for the UK this year. I don't think they're showing it on YouTube at all. they have some streams scheduled but it's all figure skating. I used to enjoy the official YouTube streams before the Eurosport deal. Also their website doesn't show any YouTube streams for the Short Track World Tour. Well, I've emailed the ISU at info@isu.ch as a last attempt but I don't expect a response. Hopefully I can find it somewhere, it's one of my favourite sports.

Thanks phelps that's actually very helpful. I'm having to try to argue with Eurosport that they do have the rights and should show the programming they've paid for!

I've signed up to this forum to see if anyone knows what is happening with the European (specifically UK) broadcasting rights for Short Track this year? I was under the impression that the ISU had a deal with Eurosport, who are now owned by DiscoveryPlus. At least their Youtube streams have been blacked out for the last few seasons because of it. The ISU are still saying on their website here https://isu-skating.com/where-to-watch/ that they are broadcasting with Eurosport. I've been waiting for DiscoveryPlus to start listing the World Tour events on their website. And last week they did, having them appear as "upcoming events". All good. But this week they've disappeared! And after a few conversations with Eurosport and DiscoveryPlus customer service they're claiming they actually don't have the rights and won't be showing it. The ISU obviously won't respond to me about this. What's the point of doing this goofy team rebrand and then not broadcasting the big show? Seems a bit a strange.
