Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
With technology as it is now broadcasters should offer the option of no commentary just crowd noise

Two thoughts - firstly you say 'had at one time' - inferring it no longer exists, presumably because of complaints?
Secondly, would have been better if silence rather than chat??
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds a shrieky voice grating - one in particular from the Southern Hemisphere comes to mind.
Some things just aren't good.

Bbc have lost the then called pro 14 games . The choice was on the red button basically it was chit chat about rugby .not a radio throwback which to my mind most commenty on tv is

Interestingly some European satellite channels offered this. Others the alternate soundtrack would be another language (e.g. English for a Premier League game before the league complained about it).

It would be interesting to see just how many viewers would opt to view without commentary. It would also let TV channels know how popular a commentator is,or not perhaps?

It would only tell the TV companies on streaming as that's a two-way technology, alternative audio delivered via broadcast methods only have the TV ratings system to extrapolate the audience. With the advent of Connected Red Button (as opposed to the one that's a broadcast channel) and Smart Televisions this should be increasing easy to measure though.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Yes at the time I used it I had a motorised sat setup. Maybe 2005 to 2010ish so the STBs were “dumb”.
That said on modern connected hardware it’d potentially be possible to track use of something like this. And of course streaming as it’d have to be “requested”.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
The current pair of clowns (Sweden match, BBC) are a waste of time, mostly just chatting instead of actually commentating.

If it's any consolation the STV picture has cut out twice and our commentators are tools too.

Picture cut out here so it may have been at source. Southern lot can't cope with a bit of rainfall...
