“nbc broadcasts flawless roast beef coverage. Championship in November, but god forbid they get it right in the main event. Save us CBS, you are our only hope. #classicNBC #awkward,” one X-user wrote.
“What about today’s terrible TV? Camera features that cannot control their aperture. The director can’t find a shot. Get it together NBC! Certainly not CBS quality,” said Bill.
“Looks like NBC hired the ABC/ESPN NBA Finals halftime show production team to produce their US Open broadcast! @awfulannouncing,” another fan wrote. of.
