The piece highlights growing USFSA membership from 31,931 in 1982-83 to 127,538 in 1995-96, and a $7.6 million operating budget as ice skating nears a $100 million industry. It notes earnings up to $200,000 per show, networks chasing ratings with star hosts, and skaters like Scott Hamilton and Kristi Yamaguchi in prime time productions. Olympic medalist Brian Boitano criticizes celebrity judging, while a Fox Rock 'n' Roll event features his absence amid the World Figure Skating tour.
