The production value definitely didn't help matters. Crappy audio syncing, low audience volume that sucks out any building atmosphere, dark video quality, not getting Kerr a properly fitting suit till 2 years in. Whoever is in charge of producing the games on Sportsnet West deserves just as much of the blame.

I always thought Kerr would've made a much better Color guy than PBP. The guy likes to talk, and even having 15 seconds in between whistles would've give him a much better platform. Having said that, I still think radio suits him better.
