just an fyi,
when i watched the 1st grand slam event (world cup), the internet feeds were free (with site registration).
initially, it is looking like this swiss chalet national event may cost to watch.
and...it's looking like only a selected quarterfinal (sat 12pm) and semifinal (sat 6pm) game as well as the final (sun 10am) will be shown.
at the broadcast site: http://curlingtv.cansportlive.com/
you can select from a $4.99 individual broadcast package or a $7.99 full event broadcast.
....you can also get a 'season pass' for this event and the remaining 2 grand slam events for $19.99 ($4 saving)

if you have access to canadian tv or can figure out how to mask your computer from them knowing you're in the u.s....try cbc

fwiw, the world cup grand slam final is archived for free on the curlingtv web site listed above.

just a head's up....at the broadcast/watch curling page...if you scroll to the very bottom, you'll see the word 'subscribe'.

p.s. if you haven't seen it at the broadcast page...universal sports (tv) looks like they'll be carrying the men's and women's world championships in march and april...so, that's something to look fwd to.
Thanks, Michael. Totally appreciate this. I'm tired of watching the same Tivo'd curling matches over and over! :-)




it may be possible that it is free to watch once the live event has started and that your payment allows you to log into your acct and watch at your leisure. i have an email into them about that.
