why american networks are wholly inadequate to broadcast hockey, exhibit A

Dear NBC

I'd imagine you are paying quite a bit of money for these announcers and on-air commentators. Perhaps if you adjusted your audio mix so that they were actually audible over the roar of the intro music, the crowd, and any random background noise, it might go a long way towards making you a relevant sports broadcaster. Yes, I know you think it won't matter because no one in this country watches hockey, but how do you expect to gain viewers if you keep stuffing up your broadcasts?

You're not going to be doing this all through the Olympics are you? Gah.

Sheesh.
