You are both right. But it's not aimed at us, it's aimed at the foreign young adult markets that lap this stuff up

The TV producers get the clicks they need and the ad revenue it brings.

All about the money

Think they did a practice run the other week. I was watching a game where they interviewed someone who had just gone off which I found odd (unless I dreamt it)

FA Cup games have had interviews at HT. Certainly in the vrry early rounds when live on BBC

MLS has most of this apart from the interviews with players subbed off. At the end of the game, the players have 15 mins to themselves before the locker room is opened to media. In my days covering certain teams, I always declined to go in the locker room, a fact appreciated by a lot of players I spoke to after. They have no inner sanctum when feelings are running high and I don't see what goo dit does.

Half time interviews are standard fare and utterly boring.

I'm not surprised this is coming in given half the Prem now has US ownership in one form or another.
