Skate America crowns champions in all four disciplines, live on NBC Sports and Peacock Premium on Saturday.
Peacock Premium, NBC Universal’s new streaming service, airs every program starting at 2 p.m.
NBC has coverage from 3-6 p.m. ET of the women’s and men’s free skates. NBCSN picks it up from 9 p.m.-12 a.m. for the pairs’ free and free dance from Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. All TV coverage streams on NBCSports.com/live and the NBC Sports app for subscribers.
Results from Friday’s short programs are here. Skate America usually includes some of the world’s top skaters, but this year it is limited to mostly Americans given coronavirus-related travel concerns and being held in front of cardboard cutouts of fans rather than ticketed spectators.
