But Coyle's production method is infinitely better than anything Fox has ever done on a baseball broadcast. Fox treats the game itself as secondary to whatever they want to do in the broadcast (in-game coaching interviews are Exhibit A). Coyle let the game speak for itself.
I mean, look at how Fox treated their four F1 broadcasts: not live, edited down to pick up the start of the race, cut away for the anthems. Compare that to how NBC treated F1 at Monaco: live, with a pregame, allowed to breathe, not rushed off the air once the cars finished. I'm not saying Fox would have no affect on how broadcasts change. But in a world where NBC is continuously producing sports league events (from 2002-2005, they only had the NHL which was locked out), I think they somehow provide a different product than Fox and ESPN/ABC.
