The peacock stream is perfect! Right on time, no ads and excellent commentary!
Last year the first stop was Friday – Sunday and the subsequent stops were Thursday – Saturday. As a result, there was a shorter break last year between stops 1 and 2. This year, the first two stops are Friday – Sunday and the Toronto stop is Thursday – Saturday, so there will be a shorter break between stops 2 and 3.
Since they went to only 3 stops, this is close to what it has been. When it was 8-12 stops there were a few meets that were much closer together and then a small break and than another set of meets close together. A meet one weekend followed by a meet during the week and a 3rd meet the following weekend etc.

CBC (Canada) doesn’t seem to be streaming the series – anyone have insights?
For the 3rd day of the meet, for me at least Eurosport seemingly removed all traces of the world cup and their swimming category, until like an hour before the finals session where it was thankfully back

Bwahahahaha, good luck with that one.
Is it longer than usual between World Cup stops this year or am I just impatient?

I used the USA Swimming Network app in Australia without a VPN in the end. It kept crashing though.
I tried to use CBC for stop 1 and it said it was streaming Toronto so I switched to Eurosport

They’re only streaming the Toronto meet…unless McIntosh’s absence will be enough of a factor for them to disregard it too.
