At the same time though, it's pro sports. How many media companies covering pro sports cut that cost out of their budget, actively making their own broadcasts worse? Bally Sports in the US is a disaster and I don't think even they restrict their broadcast team from going on the road. This feels like Sportsnet/Rogers just being trash, especially for a company that is far from poor.
