caliwxdude 235 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Awesome to see the great Ian Darke back calling World Cup games on US TV. Missed him for the 2018 World Cup coverage, glad Fox was able to pick him up for 2022. Now I just hope we get to hear more of the Pete Calandra soccer theme that Fox inexplicably shelved for the boring and uninspiring custom composition they used in 2018.

Viper550 246 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 With Canada being in the tournament for the first time since 1986, TSN has an on-location presence for the first time; usually they've done the studio segments from their main studio in Toronto (which debuted its current design during the 2015 Women's World Cup). Judging by their preview show, TSN's graphics seem to be an evolution of what they used for 2018, but more gold, black, and navy blue (for 2018 it was more white, red, and gold). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycnewsjunkie 881 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Given the controversy surrounding this year’s World Cup, broadcasters are bound to be caught between their responsibilities in covering the matches and a journalistic responsibility to cover Qatar’s human rights issues. It appears that Fox’s coverage will not have a strong focus on the human rights aspect of it at all. From Awful Announcing: Quote “Our approach is clear, and it’s identical to what it was four years ago in Russia,” executive producer David Neal told The Inquirer. “We believe that viewers come to Fox Sports during the World Cup to see the greatest sports event in the world. They don’t come to us expecting us to be [HBO’s] Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, or [ESPN’s] E: 60. That’s not who we pretend to be, and I don’t think that’s what the viewer expectation is.” […] “If a story affects the field of play, if it affects the competition in the tournament, we will cover it fully,” Neal said. “If it doesn’t, if it’s ancillary to the tournament, if it has to do with the construction of the venues or what have you, we’re going to leave that to other entities to cover. Our focus is entirely on the 64-game tournament.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 2696 Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) As for Telemundo, no IRL pictures of their set yet, but they'll have four set locations around Qatar. Here's a rendering of one of those sets in the meantime. Edited November 17, 2022 by Georgie56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Bell spent the money for them to have an on site presence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningNews 1090 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 The quality of FS1’s feed is pretty bad. Fox getting a lack of flack for their coverage so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 246 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) The world feed one is basically that but with the clock to the left and without the jersey colors. It's ugly. Also why are we still doing that tab,? You could have squeezed in Group A under the bug (or just shortened the tab to just say just "Group A"); it's redundant to the bug.

Well, according to the WaPo, Fox may have intended on having a limited presence at the Cup but a last-minute sponsorship may have prevented that from happening. https://awfulannouncing.com/advertising/wapo-qatar-airways-sponsorship-fox-world-cup.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper550 246 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 ITV scoreboard isn't too bad. It's custom but the BBC's gives off "what if Fox just used the standard black graphics they're phasing out for the World Cup?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given it is a branch of NBC Sports, I can definitely see how this could replace the 2015 graphics on the English side (the 2018 inserts were pretty much the NBC Sports default but with the shapes from that year's World Cup branding). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper550 246 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 A bit more on it from SVG, complete with some examples/mocks from the agency actually showing English graphics. Again, I could see some variant of this becoming NBC's default; the templates themselves aren't too far off from the current look. https://www.sportsvideo.org/2023/01/27/world-cup-2022-how-gameday-creative-built-telemundos-eye-popping-graphics-package/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
