Two Thoughts On The ESPN US Open Live Streaming
by Ted Gross for DailySquashReport.com
October 6, 2011 - Last night’s live streaming of the US Open semis on ESPN3 was great visually - the matches came through in crystal-clear definition, and the level of professional camera work and production was evident.
Two suggestions:
Start the matches later. It appeared the arena was mostly empty for the first women’s semi, Brown versus Perry, at 5:00pm local time. Start the whole shebang no earlier than 7:00.
Caution the announcers not to talk during the points. We got treated to a rare chance to watch a live event on a major network, yet the drama of the moment was often overpowered by the incessant, almost compulsive chatter of both the play-by-play announcer and the color man while the ball was in play.
