I only watch what’s on CMHTV so I missed Rome, Paris and will miss Chantilly Rolex Grand Prixs and nation’s cups. I am wondering why I consistently see Guerdat, Fuchs, Kraut, Farrington, Ward, Keenan, to name a few on CMH but rarely Smolders, Springsteen, etc. Does anyone know why some riders seem to ride in the FEI stuff on CMH and others only in H&C and Longines TV? This is a genuine question, so don’t flame me for not knowing. 
There are different circuits that probably have different broadcast deals. Longines has I think 2 circuits now and one is the “developing” with 3 and 4 star. A lot of pros who develop and sell horses spend much of their time there. What I think of as the “consumer” pros who buy developed horses are more likely on the Rolex circuit and one other one that is more 5 stars, which I think is longines as well now, maybe?
Some countries have big shows with no broadcasting rights overseas. The sunshine circuits are huge and I don’t know if you can watch any of those in the US at all.
Basically there are a lot of shows and not many streams. Especially with English commentary. You’re likely seeing mostly the 5* stuff online.
