This is a good overview of how a home telecast comes together but doesn't elaborate on how the TV truck company based in New Hampshire fills out the crews for both the home and visiting feed as well as the occasional visit of NBC.
EVERYBODY in the truck knows the telecast could be better but in the end, it is suits from the Red Sox that make those decisions. The Red Sox would love to buy out Jacobs share of NESN but Papa Jacobs also knows he has no realistic alternative for a Bruins channel so he is content to cash the $30 to $35 million dollar checks that the Red Sox send him yearly.
Are we aware that the graphics are among the worst in the NHL? Of course we are but Tom Werner thinks they are the best.
When NESN was owned by John Harrington he considered the Bruins an equal partner but that is not the case today.
