I've been watching the Argos-Edmonton game, being shown on CBC without TV announcers because of a CBC lockout. I think I like it better this way! Yeah, I know you can always just turn down the sound, but this way you can hear the crowd noise, the stadium announcer, hits, whistles, etc., without all the usual accompanying pointless chatter. And if you can't live without someone describing what you can plainly see happening, you could turn down the TV sound and turn on the game on the radio.
They should do more of this for all sports, or maybe just have one announcer who shuts up except when there's something that really needs explaining. And is there a "Secondary Audio Program"(SAP) they could use for an alternate setting without the announcers?
