TV broadcasters are much different than radio broadcasters. Obviously, radio has to let us know what is happening since we can't see it, while TV people just need to tell us about fouls or anything else that isn't directed on the action. Since we can see what's going on, we want less talking about the game that we can readily see. That opens the door for antidotes about the team, coaches, and the game itself. What we don't need is the endless talking that may take place over 2 or 3 possessions. We can see, but sometimes we need explanations about the action. The side stories that are the problem, way too long or too long to tell.
