Does anyone know if any fencing competitions will be shown on cabel television?

In European countries(namely Germany,France, Italy), sometimes. Definitly Olympics and big opens. Everywhere else, no not really, unless its a really important occasion.

And in the US....not unless we have a real chance to medal...in which case, they'll move the god medal bout from bravo -- where they were showing EVERY touch of the earlier women's sabre DEs -- to prime time...and show three touches....Thanks NBC.

Try the internet.

You can get WCSN.

WCSN has also repackaged a number of the internet events and made them into cable programming. The Fox Sports regional networks, for example, were carrying the Women's Saber individual and team events from Torino a month or so ago.

The problem is, it's hard to find any kind of programming guide for them to find out when the WCSN stuff is airing.

It's not live, but try fencingchannel.tv. They have plenty of video clips. Even I am in one of them (in the background, looking like an idiot of course).

I can confirm that here in Itaky sometime we can see fencing on tv but just for World championship or Olympics. For Italian Competition is quite hard, just for Italian Championship. I think it's not enough... but.. that's it!!! Sigh...
Well in italian people interest only in soccer... bleah!!
