COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - The U.S. Figure Skating Championships are headed to NBC in a deal that involves no rights fees for the national governing body.
Instead, the USFSA will split the sale of ad time with NBC and will sell its own sponsorship packages.
Skating ratings have diminished in recent years, and ABC ended its 43-year partnership with the skating organization after the contract ran out this month. The USFSA was collecting $12 million a year in rights fees from ABC and ESPN, which shared programming on the national championships and Skate America.
