Well, no, they arent but i want them too. I was thinking about setting up a petition and getting as many people as possible to sign it? any dieas, or do you think its a waste of time??? thiscause.org/p/signup.php I will start one, but first, anyone any good english, that could write a nice little paragraph about the petition for eurosprt to read? ok, now you can all post laughing at me, i am just sick of downloading videos, i just for once, want to watch the grand prixs on tv, i mean they show sumo wrestling and other sports that are less popular then skating. |

Hey Gemma
Well it can't hurt can it?
I'm not sure if British Eurosport is separate from the rest of Eurosport - I suspect it is and will operate on its own budget, but you could try.
I'd write something like this:
Dear Eurosport,
I am writing to you to inform you that thousands of figure skating fans very much appreciate the skating coverage of the European & World Championships you televise every year.
If it weren't for Eurosport most of us, especially in the UK, would see no skating coverage whatsoever - not even our own British Championships!
Many of us obtain our only viewing via downloading from the Internet.
What we would love, is for Eurosport to know how much we want more figure skating coverage.
Is there any way we can persuade the people who make those decisions to televise the Grand Prix Events?
Or if not, could you inform us in what way we could help to improve the chances of more figure skating being shown on Eurosport?
Thank you,
Kind regards
Gemma and everyone.

To all the European Figure Skating fans out there, are you sick of having to download videos off the internet to watch the Figure Skating Grand Prix's? Want to put a stop to it? Well just sign your name in the below petition, which will be sent to Eurosport in order to try and convince them to televise these events.
What about something like that?

You got my hopes up there for a minute, when I saw the headline.  I think it's a good idea to send a letter to keep the pressure on, but I do know Simon Reed [Head of Brit E.S.] said he would try very hard to get the rights for the GPs for this season, and obviously, didn't acquire them, so I think we should also ask the ISU to reduce the costs of the rights, so ES can show the GPs and spread the skating word across Europe. What do you think? I can't download anything either, so were it not for German TV, wouldn't see any skating till Euros.  |

If you would like to see something specific....I could burn you a CD.... Oh! Could you be a doll and do that for me? That would be tres tres kind of you, and very much appreciated. I live in London and would pay for all costs, naturally. I would love anything you have of this season's GPs in Ice Dance, especially The Kerrs, Belb/Agos, Den/Stav and Del/Sch, any performances at all, CD, OD or FD. If any room left, any other Dancers progs would be fab! Cheers! And you're an absolute luv! I can PM you my address? |
