    I get the TV Broadcast part of it. They did it that way during the Pandemic. But i think Travis Demers needs to be live in the opposing arena, so he can bring the feel of the crowd into the broadcast. That just doesn't make any sense at all.

    Most likely. We will still get our crews doing the games.

    To be fair I'm not sure Demers can really convey the 'feel of the crowd' even when in the arena. All in all this is just bad news and another cheap cost cutting measure. Please for the love of God, Jody Allen needs to sell this franchise and get the Vulcans as far away as possible!

    Does this mean that the mr HCP will not work as much, meaning less income?
    Bummer if so.

    He will do fine. He worked the Olympics because he's that good.

    Hey Kroenke owns the Nuggets, built 5Billion + So FI, and still nickels and dimes Nuggets & Avalanche fans over the cable deal money. They had to find outside sources to watch their games last year.

    Im sure Travis probably likes not having to travel to road games. More time at home w/family. Probably has to take a pay cut however?

    Would you prefer to travel? Do you get hit with a pay cut?

    I really don't like it. This team constantly disappoints me.

    By not actually having Blazer Broadcasting with the team we can now claim all road losses are fake news!
