Panama City Beach, FL (Aug 30, 2010) - Just over a week ago I was flipping through the television channels and came to the FOX Sports MLB Game of the Week on local affiliate WPGX FOX 28. As I started to watch, I noticed that the in-game score "bug" was severely cut off, so severely that I could not tell who was playing. Yesterday, the same thing happened on the NFL on FOX pre-season game.
At first I wondered if it was because I was watching on an older television set with a 4:3 display ratio and the graphics were just badly laid out. I was half right, and the real reason signals a sea change on how FOX Sports is covering games, and how other networks may (or may not) cover sporting events.
