Interesting point... where exactly is it digitised?.

I'd assume the mixing console was digital these days?

Video chains these days can be digital from camera onwards. Audio only
usually after the microphones. However, with audio, you can get
satisfactory results with analogue in much of the path. The problems come
with recording, transmission systems and the path to the transmitter.
Sadly, the digital transmissions systems capable of transparent end
results are also amenable to transmitting lower quality at a lower overall
cost, and this seems to be the way things have gone in the UK.
