TCU Broadcast

Post by PonyTime »

Boy am I glad we are on ESPN most of the time.

Broadcast starts with 20 seconds of a black screen with audio that indicates they don't even know that they are on the air.

Next, it sounds like the commentators are in a tunnel for about 5 min.

After that, I was wishing I could not hear the commentators.

Big12 is a Fox Sports conference. It is definitely nice being involved with the ESPN networks.

I recorded the game and watched some of it when I got home. FSSW has a partnership with the Big 12 and I believe one of the guy's doing the game calls all of TCU games. Even the commercials were all TCU ads showing that ugly campus.

The announcers spoke from a TCU point of view which was frustrating. I eventually muted them and turned on Rich using the TuneIn app.

Announcers were awful homers.

Anyone else notice the bad video quality?

I was so happy to get the game on TV I didn't mind. I tend to totally tune out jokers like them and just watch "harder."

It was the 190th or so game-we played twice a year for 80 years plus probably more in SWC Tournament

ya i caught that when one of the announcers yelled "Yes" when a basket dropped in for TCU after bouncing around the rim. So glad we won, I couldn't handle their smug faces after the baylor/tcu game this last week. This would have just added to it.

That was a TCU production; those were TCU's football announcers.

Correct, this game was part of TCU's third-tier rights. TCU has an agreement with Fox Sports for the broadcast of their third-tier broadcasts. Same with the SMU @ TCU football game this year
