The production values of the Blazer Broadcasting shows are pathetic and embarrassing. How many times during this game am I going to have to listen to a commercial cueing up leak out over the air? There's High School TV stations with better quality than this. And don't get me started about no HD. What is this, 1990? The return of BlazerVision? Horrible.
You do realize that a member of this forum is part of the blazer broadcasting team don't you? How dare you sir.
I know that very well. Which is one of the reasons behind my post. HCP can feed back my feelings. He should be as embarrassed as everyone else for this shoddy broadcast.
I just saw this. We started getting emails from back in Portland about this. In defense of Blazer Broadcasting our feed leaving the truck here in Chicago is fine. This is a KGW issue. There is NO excuse for this, but Blazer Broadcasting is not at fault. This is very similar to the crappy CSN signal. I wish I could give you guys a better answer, but our work is clean. I will pass on your complaints though.
Nothing wrong with no hd on the road at this point. Lots of teams don't have it. Hell, some don't even have home hd.
I've watched a million Blazer games on TV and that was the FIRST TIME I've ever heard a commercial or some other programming audio bleed through. Big fucking deal. And it lasted for what, 1 minute? God, the fact that you took the energy to post about this is kind of sad IMO. I suppose you could say the same about me, but you kind of irritated me, so yeah.
It happened about 10 times though, and I'm not really upset, I thought it was funny more than anything.
The KGW games are rebroadcast down here on KFBI and I was having no such issues. The picture quality sucks but that's a constant.
I KNOW!!! And then it's crazy! I mean the blazers came out and played a good game...I would be able to listen to all that 2 minutes of commercials if it means we win again...MUTE YOUR TV! Turn on Wheels... I'm sure Joe Becker had something to do with it...
Funny, I was watching the Bulls broadcast team on League Pass, and I thought this would be yet another thread about how pathetic our broadcast team looks in comparison. Those Bulls announcers were smart, entertaining and completely even handed, unlike our lame homer announcers. Oh, and it was in high definition, which is nice for a change. It's amazing how much money Paul Allen has to throw around at everything, and we're stuck with the amateur propaganda squad to actually telecast the games. Hope HCP doesn't take offense at this post. I've never had a beef with the technical aspects of the Blazers' broadcast (other than high def).
Well, I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Mike & Mike rule. Rice makes me laugh countless times during the game, and MB, though homerish, does not bother me at all.
Count me in this category, too. It's entertainment intended for Blazer fans and a little Blazer bias is fine by me. Besides, I think that they have been better this season about admitting when they've been wrong and the ref's call was correct.
THEY even laugh at their homerism from time to time. It's more of a shtick than reality, IMO. But either way, I don't care! They make a good team and entertain me. And believe it or not, I think Rice actually has a good basketball mind. He's insightful about the BLAZERS, often times predicting what they'll do in certain situations and he's right more times than he's not.
The only thing that bothers me is the picture quality of non HD games. We've cut our HD box for a few months and it really reminds me of how horrible the picture looks. It's baaaad.
I could care less about production values, I just want all the games to be shown on Direct. A year and a half and I'm still watching the majority of games on Justin.tv. I'm sick of it.
