12:00 as in midnight or noon?

[dekko]

I have a hunch it's noon as most tv people do 24 hour time talk. However, hit their website and it should be specific.

great great

It seems that the programming starts at the same time that the RAI sport feeding.

2 hours of fencing a day for $5.95 with archives for 6 days? Sounds like a deal.

Wonder what format they use...

I think is $9.95 for the entire event. The event at $5.95 is canoe slalom. It appears that they use Windows Media stream at 375K

I'm sorry if this has already been posted. I just read the following on the Swedish Fencing Federation website forum (translated into english):

Web-TV showing fencing.
A new web tv-channel showing fencing only has been launched.

www.fencingchannel.tv

They will show summaries from World Championchips every day preceding the final, free!

Note!
I just read this and am passing on the info, I can not vouch for the correctness of the information!

Ahhhh... There's a typo on the site. If you click on the schedule and then fencing, it states:

Fans in the U.S. and U.S. territories can watch LIVE ONLINE with the WCSN.com Fencing World Championship Pass for just $5.95.

If you jump through the rest of the hoops, the cost is $9.95.

WCSN.com Fencing World Championships 2005 Event Pass

Sub-Total $9.95

Total $9.95

I'm getting quite excited about this and, as I am by myself when its on, I may just get a few in and slob around watching the Fencing.
