Announcement of FencingChannel.net

[Craig]

I am pleased to announce that Fencing Pictures will have free video coverage of the 2005 World Championships. I've copied Guillermo's announcement below:

Thanks to the support and encouragements that we have received from fencers around the world, and in particular from Craig Harkins, we are now launching a website where viewers can watch fencing competitions and interviews 24/7. We are glad to bring this service to established fencers, and we also hope that it will contribute to promoting our great sport to non-fencers. Most of the contents will also be available for purchase on DVD through our distributors. You can already find our DVDs at the fencing.net store.

Fencing Pictures will be at the World Championships in Leipzig October 8-15. Daily highlights will be available for free viewing at www.fencingchannel.tv, and DVDs will be released as soon as possible. We hope that you will enjoy watching these images as much as we love producing them for the fencing community.

I copied this over to the UK forum as well. I look forward to seeing what their coverage is like.

If anybody can do podcasts, fencing channel also has that.

Right now there are two interviews up. Bissdorf and Linda Strachan, an FIE ref from the UK. iTunes 5 can subscribe to podcasts [edit: AND, it's listed on the iTunes Store], and there's some other software out there.

This is a great step forward. Thanks for the post.

You need the last version of itunes.
once there you go to "podcast"
then in the "advance" tab you click on "open stream"
then you type

www.fencingchannel.tv/podcast/rss.xml

you will see all available interviews from fencingchannel.tv

Enjoy

I could not find it listed in the iTunes Store, and that link has nothing to do with the store.

This is all great news!!!

Personally I don't use Itunes, but I imagine its just like any other aggregator and you just need to add the link - hence the cough and the gentle reminder of the url. I see someone else has already posted a message on how to add the URL - so problem solved.

What is the schedule? How much will be shown? Where is the info on the site?

[KD5MDK]

iTunes comes in 2 parts:
1) The music jukebox software, which does serve as a podcast aggregator and
2) The iTunes Music Store. See:

They have an extensive podcast listing there as well.

The morning epee highlights are up.

They don't show too much, but for $0, it's great.

Agreed. I'd like to see the rst of the footage - especially as Kolobkov is the winner.
