Part of the problem is that the networks have too many commentators covering these events. For a football game with 11 players on each side, there are basically only two commentators. If I am not mistaken, the same is the case in basketball and baseball. However, in tennis, quite often there are three. I think the commentary from the viewer point of view would improve with only two, and I would love to see some brave network try it with only one commentator. Obviously, with three, each one wants to do something to earn his or her salary, and added together it becomes overkill. But how many of us are there who really care about this? This problem is not restricted to tennis. Often an event will be on air live, and instead of letting the viewer listen to and view the event as if we were there, we have to listen to a news anchor or some other self-important person explain to us what we would just like to be able to enjoy without any commentary. But as the saying goes, you can’t fight city hall, and at the end of the day, it is perhaps best if we just wean ourselves off of having to see these things in the first place. I cancelled my subscription to tennis channel and find myself watching much less tennis than before. In fact, much less television in general. I also find myself watching more BBC because their programs are without, or mostly without, commercials. And if you absolutely have to watch some sporting event, just turn the mute button on. Yes, I know, it is not quite the same, because we want to hear the background noise and the ball striking sounds. On the other hand, silence is golden.
