NBC has agreed to be the U.S. broadcaster for the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships in Los Angeles, sources said today. NBC would not confirm the deal, but spokesman Adam Freifeld said, "We take programming meetings with potential partners, and we have met with the ISU."
However, NBC hasn't picked up the Grand Prix Series however (with the exception of Skate America) so Americans may have to do without that series and the Grand Prix Final (Europeans and Four Continents Cup as well). At the very least we'll get to see the premiere Figure Skating as we gear up towards Vancouver in 2010.

Now if we could could just get the rest of the figure skating calendar covered...I guess there's always YouTube!
