WDAY Not Crap Production (hopefully)

You do realize the budgets are slightly different in those situations? Probably by multiple factors.

Lee Timmerman was paid in room temperature mayonnaise sandwiches.

I absolutely do realize the budgets are vastly different. But given that WDAY also does a lot of high school games throughout the year, upping their "game" once a week for a competitively bid televising rights product shouldn't be that hard.....right?

That was way too much.

The crusts were removed so he wouldn't choke on them.

Expecting a local TV station to have similar production capabilities as ESPN, CBS, ABC, Fox/FS1 and even regional/ conference networks is ridiculous. They have what they have and do a very good job considering. Then to expect them to go into a visiting stadium and not step over their production crews in camera location and technology can't be easy.

I watched plenty of other FCS games last Saturday on ESPN+ and ESPN3 (Montana St/EWU, UND/SIU, SDSU/Missouri St, SLU/UIW, and others) and the WDAY production was the worst of what I saw in terms of camera work and graphics. Maybe they had a bad day? Maybe they had struggles using cameras from another production crew? But you can't put lipstick on that pig.

Can they turn down Dom's microphone about 10 decibels. So annoying when he gets excited about a play......its not what he says, it's the loudness of his voice!

I was watching It on ESPN+ and it was the midco broadcast which was horrific. My guess is that if WDAY was broadcasting it, they were likely using the Midco cameras. Happens all the time. ESPN or Fox or whoever will just hijack the camera feed of the home crew, and they will run their graphics, and their own announcers as usual.

In my days in Broadcast, they grabbed our entire broadcast, announcers and all and broadcast it to ESPN except they gaave us their graphics package beforehand. This was for National tournament College Hockey at Mankato, as well as 1-2 Minnesota Vs Mankato Regular season games too

I remember in the early days of Joe Rohan’s podcast he had a pretty basic mic and when he would have Joey Diaz on, which was a lot, the mic couldn’t handle his excited outbursts and it would pop and get really loud. He knew this was an issue and eventually he got a mic that could handle Joey’s voice without it being as bad of an issue as it used to be. It would be nice if they had something like that for Dom.
