What's with taking up 1/3 the television screen with these game time conversations with players and coaches.....totally annoying. Who cares, we can hear the words we don't need to see their faces. Just show the game!!!
TP. Is there somewhere we could go to complain about this?
I keep the mute button on the entire time.
Doubt there is much one can do about this.
My feeling is that there is some sort of an advertising agreement between parties like; MGM Resorts, the TV Network, the NBA and/or the Boston Celtics.
MGM gets to have their name on the screen throughout the interviewing process and pay a premium for it. This may make up for the loss of revenue from having fewer and shorter commercials during Summer League games.
May also be a gambit to find out if basketball fans are so stupid they might tolerate it during the regular season.
Hank ...thanks for the alternate sound tip (like the Red Sox). I had been shutting off the volume completely.
