How come we can’t see these live on TV. We always have before. Not happy. Was looking forward to seeing the Pan Pacs.\
So sad not to be able to watch the Aussies swimming at the Pan PACs as not on Tele!!! Being elderly not able to stream to watch and watched channel 9 news tonight and the swimming did not get a mention no results nothing% so disappointing and have been counting the days down until the Swimming started. So disappointed. Good luck to the team hope they all do well. Lucky to have my I Pad to watch the videos and read all about the meeting but love watching them swim and cheer them on. Heather Stanfield.
how can we watch this in Australia. the trials were on TV but I cant find the actual Pan Pac coverage anywhere !!??
It says usa swimming or NBC sports will carry all sessions. If so that works for me but I have heard that is not the case and only Olympic Channel will cover it in the usa
Strange hours on non- manjor TV station. Checked to see it showing 3-5 am… Thought they had to make morning Finals -ecening Prelins because of the US broadcasting schedule.
Is it too late for us to chip in for a plane ticket for LS Andy?
Will the USA swimming channel upload them after like they did at Nationals? I stayed away from the recap for about 90 minutes and was able to watch the races on YouTube not knowing the results beforehand. The races on YouTube only had Sam Kendricks so it felt like I was live just with Sam. Would love to be able to wake up and do the same type of watching for Pan Pacs!
US/Canada times are out by one hour. EST is 5 hrs behind the UK and 8hrs for PST.
EST Should be 9pm/4.30am and 9pm/5am
PST should be 6pm/1.30am and 6pm/2am
Thanks! Fixing now.
