Myself included...

So...NBCSN is gonna show some of the upcoming Women's and Men's Worlds, including 2 live games

The schedule (according to Teamusa.org) is:

Sunday 3/20 - US Women v Canada UniHD (which I *believe* is Universal HD), 9P-12M (live)

Thursday 3/24 - US Women v Sweden NBCSN (NBC Sports Network), 9P-12M (LIVE)

Thursday 3/31 - Women's Final NBCSN 6PM-8PM (taped)

Sunday 4/3 - US Men vs Canada NBCSN 4:30P-7P (taped, but same day)

Wednesday 4/6 - US Men vs Norway UniHD 6:30P-9P (taped, but same day)

Tuesday 4/12 - Men's Final NBCSN 8P - 11P (taped)

You wanna see Team USA in action...at the very least set your DVR's...we need eyeballs on these if we wanna see more in the future...

Don't know if it has the same effect, but ESPN3 rebroadcasting the TSN coverage of Brier games is awesome.

Team Canada vs. Northern Ontario is about to start.

Hey, Kiwi, what job do they have you doing in Swift Current?

Heck, Alan, your subject line for this thread reads fairly aggressive. What up with that?

We all should do our part and spread the word. Hopefully NBC will do so as well and far more effectively.

Ehh, it was intended so over the top it would go the other way...but missed...

It's been that kind of week over here...

Regardless...watch curling, see curling...or...if you don't...don't gripe when you can't in the future...

This is awesome, and hopefully a good sign of things to come.

Last year they only showed the men's final, and it was tape-delayed by something like a day and a half. This year so much more coverage, and (in my opinion) the addition of live coverage is huge.

It does suck that this probably means that YouTube (WorldCurlingTV) will be geoblocked when the games that are going to be tape-delayed are on, but such is the nature of broadcasting agreements. Besides, anyone (like me) who really wants to watch live knows how to do so anyway.
