Does anyone know if there will be any televising or in-movie-theater showings of DCI events this season? If so, where and when? I can't find anything on the DCI website.
I remember hearing they might discontinue the ESPN2 broadcast.
DCI on TV?

DCI will not be on ESPN2 this year or any year for the forseeable future. DCI lost a ton of money on that venture.
The Quarters in theaters idea is (I believe) still up in the air.
DCI is sticking with Indiana University as their finals site. I believe their expectation is that the repairs will be done in time for finals. This is perhaps overly optimistic, but the logistics of changing venues for an event of this magnitude at such a late date are mind-boggling.
There is a remote possibility Finals could be canceled. Far more likely is that the season would either be extended (highly unlikely) or shortened (more likely). If the season were shortened, the "New" Finals might be in Allentown, PA, the first weekend of August.
All of this is speculation. DCI's official press release last week said that DCI Championship week will take place in Bloomington as planned.
