NBC World Championship Coverage

[akaoni]

This link at USA Wrestling states that NBC will offer lots of coverage of the world championship:

NBCSN will air 6.5 hours of tape-delayed coverage in the afternoons and evenings — Aug. 23 (3:30-5 p.m. ET), Aug. 24(4-5 p.m. ET), Aug. 25 (7-9 p.m. ET) and Aug. 27 (3-5 p.m. ET) — while the newly launched Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA will televise live medal-round action from 1-3:30 p.m. ET each day of the tournament.
​

Additionally, Trackwrestling will offer full access for $9.99. I wasn't aware of the NBC broadcast plans so I thought I'd bring it to the board's attention.

So if I already have a flo account will I get it or do I need to pay another $10.

I don't think Trackwrestling is run by Flo, is it?

 

[Huck]

It's separate, you're gonna have to pay the extra 10 bucks. Awesome deal obviously.

Nope -- pretty much the opposite of run by Flo.

Have the brackets been announced yet? What time/day will U.S. Men's Senior Freestyle wrestle? In particular, when does Thomas Gilman wrestle?

My bad. I misread.

 

[Inspiteofourselves]

I think Gilman wrestles Friday morning at 3am

Can't say I agree with that. The last couple Flo tournaments have gone flawlessly for me streaming wise. While my track streams have struggled during jr worlds.

And you get all the ads on track.

I think that was a commentary on the professionalism of those associated with each site.

Smalls 2 questions for you:

1) Why do France and Japan each have 2 wrestlers at Senior Men's Freestyle at worlds?

2) Has it been announced yet and have you guys made an article or schedule for when everyone will be wrestling at worlds? Would be nice to have some kind of clean comprehensive schedule all within one link if possible. Especially due to the time zone difference.

Thanks!!

I don't think I was clear on my post. I didn't mean at all to say that one service was superior to the other -- only that Track and Flo are separate entities, so in that sense, the webcast being handled by Track means it absolutely isn't being handled by Flo. That was all I was getting at. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

And I should give props to Flo for handling a refund for me. I'd hoped to subscribe for just a month but didn't see that option on the screen and ended up with the annual subscription. Emailed their customer service and they took care of it FAST, no questions asked. Was very impressed. I think they've beefed up their customer service for these matters, and it shows. Strong work by Flo on this! And I did make my appreciation very clear to the customer service folks. It was well-deserved.

As much criticism as Flo gets, I think they genuinely do a good job of listening to feedback and taking steps to improve the product and fix the flaws.

Hey Chief, since you appear to understand how to deal with Flo customer service, are you interested in trying to convince them to issue me a refund? It's to the point where, when I call them, they read the notes on my past account and before I can even state my case, they say "No, as we told you before, we're not refunding you anything!" Amazes me that, for the small sum of $20 they could receive great customer appreciation on my part, a lot more of my money, loyalty, and my recommending them to others....but no.

FIFY...WDM is a lot more classy
