Had this happen last week as well, I have YouTube TV. ABC games just generally look, and especially SOUND, like shite. Almost sounds like poor audio compression. Even the “Tennessee” and “Texas” wording looks a bit foggy and low quality on a 4K TV. No other broadcasts are this way, with maybe the exception of SECN+ but those are cheap anyways. Anybody else notice this?

Weird. Switch over to Fox, crystal clear audio and visuals.

It's interference from the Secret Service. Seriously.

Does ESPN still do the crowd noise over the announcers so you get the “game experience “?

Do you live in CenLa? For whatever reason I used to have that problem with the cable provider there. It’s fine on YouTubeTV.

During the Texas vs. Tennessee college football game, ABC/ESPN's broadcast suffered a brief audio outage and heavy static just moments after sideline reporter Laura Rutledge reported on potential radio frequency disruptions caused by President Donald Trump's attendance at Neyland Stadium.

What Happened
• The Report: Laura Rutledge explained the concept of "electromagnetic deconfliction"—the process of coordinating radio frequencies so that security channels used by the Secret Service protecting Donald Trump do not completely knock out coach-to-coach or coach-to-player communications when he moves around the venue.

• The Irony: Seconds after tossing back to the booth, play-by-play announcer Chris Fowler and analyst Kirk Herbstreit experienced loud static, crackling, and muffled audio on the live national broadcast.

• The Resolution: Chris Fowler noted the issue originated from the production truck, and clean audio was restored to the broadcast after a few minutes. Prior to the game, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian had noted that teams planned for potential headset interruptions whenever the president changed locations.

Game quality is good but we do not get commercials. For the Clemson and OM games at time outs we got a 50 yard line view. At halftime we see the show but no audio. It was wild when OM went dark at every time out.

Why doesn’t CBS have this issue then every Army Navy game as I mentioned in the other thread for everyone blaming it on the Secret Service present…. Including Brad and Kirk blaming the crappy broadcasting production on them versus saying our shite suck and is messing up all on its own lol
