If you've ever seen a rebroadcast of an old black and white sporting event, you'll be shocked by visual silence on display. Very little advertising, if any, and plenty of wide static camera shots. I'm not saying we should push for a complete reversal, but I find the old style much more engaging.
I can't say for sure, but I think the trend towards completely boxed in screens, full of distracting stats and animation is largely an American one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think FOX tv's led the charge.
Do you see the same clutter on world soccer and hockey broadcasts?
