OLN's broadcast looks better. They adjusted the white and so you can see everything better. And whatever was going on with the audio is mostly fixed. The audio during the game I mean. One mic was staticy, I noticed that before they started calling the game when they were just talking. And on mic for the ice is too sensitive or something because when the players skate by the sound of the skating threatens to drown the announcers out.

However, the weird ass delay they have in the studio is still happening. It's not off enough to look dubbed, but just enough so it's not synched right and it gives me a headache.

They had Crosby mic'd. I discovered this when I was flipping between OLN and Sun Sports. I only heard him say "good play", I would have liked to hear him say more. I wonder who else they'll mic.

Sun Sports on the other hand, they're having sound issues. The announcers don't stay audiable the whole time, it's weird...like in Singing in the Rain when Lena keeps moving her head back and forth. It's not that bad, but kinda like that.

However, I'm not watching either game at Dad's. I'm home. I went to wash my hands after having some popcorn and when I looked in the mirror I discovered that my period started. Great. So I came home. I'm taping the Tampa game anyway. I think I'll be able to "acquire" the Pens game tomorrow.

Halelujah! I was shocked at how bad it was the other night.

I'm going to be watching the game tonight --- Stars v Coyotes, I think. I'm hoping that the sound will be even better and they'll get rid of the staticy mic.

I read somewhere...maybe in [livejournal.com profile] hockey that the camera work isn't that great and they are having problems following the puck. I haven't watched enough of OLN (or hockey for that matter) to really pick up on that.

I have faith that they will keep getting better. Maybe in a month or so they can work out the synch problems with the in studio stuff.
