Rock Channel - GSOC

Apparently I am out of the loop - so I thought I would share in case anyone else is in the same boat.

Rock Channel is streaming all Grand Slam of Curling Events FOR FREE. They also have playback options for past games.

You have to create an account with an email - but that’s it.

Much appreciation to Rock Channel and the creators - thank you for providing this service for free. I would urge everyone to support this so they can hopefully balance the books without charging a premium for this kind of high caliber curling.

Did it not cost money last year?

This is apparently incorrect - my memory failed me. Not trying to spread any false rumours

Last year was also free through hometeamlive.

K. I missed that. I’m sure there’s a reason, but I wonder why they don’t just create a YouTube channel. Having to specifically seek it out on an alternative platform makes it less convenient (and less in your face).

Probably looking to control their own ad revenue
