I was looking for it online too and discovered TC no longer has the rights to air it. Their contract expired. FS2 now has the rights. They will start airing it today with Canada vs USA. 

TC is airing the best of matches for the year. Although some of their choices are rather awful. We won't see anything new from them until January and the beginning of a new year tennis season.

 

I've never noticed Bencic bf.

It's too early to be talking about the ATP Cup @Faulkner.  One messy tournament at a time, lol.

 

Yesterday, Day 1, the Rakuten Sports website (which I didn't know existed until the day before the tournament started) had a free livestream for the matches but the quality was pretty bad. Lots of freezing and the need to constantly reload the page.

Well, if it's of any comfort, there were no shortage of empty seats yesterday too.  Honestly, I think the only matches that will be full/sold-out are the Spanish matches.  The issue of empty seats is a problem that often happens with regular tournaments that run during the weekdays, which is why Davis Cup's weekend atmosphere was usually something I enjoyed.

It seems like the Pique Cup is conscious of the empty seats issue and is trying their best to get the camera to "squeeze in" (or is it out) on the sections where there are clusters of spectators, hoping that viewers won't 'zero in' on the empty seats, I guess.

The Davis Cup website is even more of a shambles than I thought!

 

Don't forget USES from right here in the good 'ole U S of A!

Oh. Ehm. Gee. USES is supposed to be USA?  Looks like someone couldn't decided between E.E.U.U and U.S.A., do they decided to split the difference.

Pique didn't spend money on the website. Clearly!

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
