Ah yes, the almighty "industry standard". The all-purpose excuse when extreme cost cutting blows up in your face and you don't like the heat you are getting from the viewing public.
And please no comments from anyone about how Midco Sports is a net money loser for them so we shouldn't expect much in the way of quality from their broadcasts. If it's such a financial burden for them, why don't they just pull the plug on it entirely?
My thinking is, either do it right or don't do it at all.
