Just been drinking coffee and re-reading your post with a colleague.

The standard of audio on TV is severely hampered by visual-based
decisions of directors and cameramen, Sound is very much the poor
relation. Anyone can hear that.

Sounds like your colleague is as bitter as you. Another TV reject?

But you've already said you rarely watch TV apart from the BBC world news
so if that's what you're basing your views on I'm not surprised. Of course
I'd like to see you do better under the those conditions...

Music on live TV shows often leaves much to be desired.
Look at the drummers sitting behind plexi screens and the mics
clipped to music stands for the strings. Working under such
limiting conditions it is very difficult to get anything even
approaching good sound.

I take it Iain that you have no visual appreciation - so would like a
'live music TV show' to be made in a recording studio with everything
nicely screened off so you get your 'good' sound? Or might that be a
teensy bit boring to watch?

BTW, this clipping mics on stands thing must be local to you. I've never
seen it done - or can understand why it would be. Or is it your preferred
method under such circumstances?
