ITU TV: no same day streaming of events in the US?
Quote | Reply
This just popped into the email box with a reminder that my subscription would be renewing with ITU TV:

*Due to broadcast market restrictions, World Triathlon Series race live streams will not be available to US subscribers. On-demand race replays will be available 72 hours after the live broadcast has ended.

Frak!

Sweet jesus, thank you for posting this. I was just gonna let the thing renew without any thought but I am certainly not renewing shit now.

Watching thread now in hopes someone can shed more light i.e. who owns those rights now. No broadcaster listed for US on the ITU website yet.

Where are you seeing this? My subscription to Triathlonlive.tv renews tomorrow, but I'm not seeing anything about stream delays.

The WTS races are on the Olympic Channel.

My first move was to check for the US broadcaster too. I don’t want to pay for another subscription to NBC Sports Gold and I don’t have the Olympic channel through cable... which is why I subscribe(d) to Triathlon Live. This is really such a bummer and so frustrating! And totally not the way to get more people to watch triathlon.

what about VPNs and tunnel bears and all that? Maybe we should enlist the guys from the ***Spring Classics*** thread for help...

The email was from "World Triathlon" not "TriathlonLive". Here's the footnote:

*Due to broadcast market restrictions, World Triathlon Series race live streams will not be available to US subscribers. On-demand race replays will be available 72 hours after the live broadcast has ended.

That sucks for you guys. I assume it's because a broadcaster has exclusive rights, and figures that they can drive you to subscribe to their channel instead. In Canada, most of the WTS races stream free on CBC's app, but you can still view on Triathlon Live as well (because it's not like CBC is losing money since they don't charge for their stream). Even still I keep my TriLive subscription for the on-demand option later, and for the World Cups and other events as well. At their pricing it's a bargain...

Yes, sucks for you guys in theUS but still worth the small $20 tag imho. I don’t have this problem being in Australia but I still watch most races on demand anyway (most happen at night time for us)!

72 hours=3 days. Sure some races just aren't feasible for me to watch but being able to watch them the morning after before social media (or Slowtwitch!) ruins the suspense for me is valuable. If I were to wait 72 hours and know the winner, I'd only watch if it was talked about as the most epic race ever.
