question: Why do athletes look so much faster on TV compared to live (in-person)?
comment: Most likely because of the camera movement. & #x200B; on TV the camera focuses on the player and the rest moves around them. in person, you are already far and you point of view is the whole stadium.
passages: In 2016, NBC began to offer 4K content on a delayed basis through participating service providers (particularly DirecTV, Dish Network, and Xfinity), downconverted from 8K footage filmed by NHK and OBS, with HDR and Dolby Atmos support. 86 hours of event footage was offered. 
   BULLET::::- A 2006 ad shows Scott Van Pelt and Stuart Scott jumping and stretching before a show, similar to what NBA players do before games. The ad ends with both men easily taking off their "warm-up suits" revealing their show suits underneath.
   BULLET::::- For the 2008 Summer Olympics, NBC offered to cable operators the NBC Olympic Basketball Channel and NBC Olympic Soccer Channel, which broadcast exclusively in high definition and aired all the events in both sports without any commercial interruptions. During halftimes and before each game, a wide-angle shot of the venue from the default world feed was shown instead along with highlights without commentary, while non-programming hours consisted of rolling statistics or a test pattern; later years now feature a continuous loop of the previous day's action. The network also used the same setup for the 2012 and 2016 Games.
   Local television station newscasts display time and temperature during their broadcasts, and only display the word LIVE when they air a news report or a live shot on location. Some networks have begun to insert (in addition to the word LIVE) the local time of where that news report is originating from, particularly when that report is airing live via satellite from overseas.
  
  Section::::Types of shows.:Sports and other events.
   Beginning with the 2009 WNBA season, all nationally broadcast WNBA games are shown in high definition.
   BULLET::::- August 26, 2015 - News reporter Alison Parker and camera man Adam Ward are murdered on live television by a former coworker during a news report. Shooter Vester Flannigan committed suicide some time later.

  BULLET::::- August 1–16, 1936 – The 1936 Summer Olympics, held in Berlin, Germany, were the first Olympic Games (and sporting event) to have live television coverage.
   On September 25, 2006, "SportsCentre" began broadcasting in high definition. At that time, TSN expressed hopes to have all reports from its bureaus in HD in the near future.
   The program converted to a high definition presentation for the 2011 season, though some game footage camera angles (which are mainly used internally by coaching staffs, and rarely by television networks during game broadcasts except in a few circumstances) remained provided to ESPN by the NFL in 480i standard definition for a short while after. With "Jim Rome is Burning", which ended at the end of January 2012 never converting to HD, "NFL Matchup" was both the final ESPN program to convert to HD and the last still utilizing some SD presentation outside of rare "SportsCenter" highlights still in that format.
   This is a crucial part of a jumper's training since they perform most exercises for a very short period of time and often aren't aware of their form and technique.
  
  A common tool in many long jump workouts is the use of video taping. This enables the athlete to go back and watch their own progress as well as letting the athlete compare their own footage to that of some of the world-class jumpers.

   In mid-October 2008, in-studio programs began to air in "enhanced HD", featuring contained additional scores and statistics on a dedicated wing on the right side of the screen that was only visible on the HD feed. Content that is presented in standard definition is shown with stylized pillarboxes, or for some footage, blurred pillarbox wings. On May 1, 2009, "NFL Total Access" began airing in full HD without pillarboxing or enhanced graphics; this was followed by the upgrade of "NFL GameDay" to HD the following September.
   In October 2017, NBC was required to broadcast the majority of a "Sunday Night Football" game using Skycam angles, as their traditional sideline angles were obscured by a large amount of fog. Reception to the impromptu experiment was mostly positive (with some drawing comparisons to the default camera angle used in football video games, such as the "Madden NFL" franchise); NBC announced that it would experiment with intentionally using the Skycam as a primary angle during a subsequent Thursday-night game on November 16, 2017 and again for the December 14 game the same year. 
   Perhaps the most often heard criticism that some events are shown on disk- or tape delay rather than live. Even if sports are shown live to some parts of the country, it may remain delayed in others, especially in the Pacific Time Zone. NBC has explained that primetime coverage of select events, regardless of when they actually occur, is designed to maximize the total viewing audience.
  
  Some examples of broadcast delay include:
   Section::::Criticism.:Tape delay and formatting of coverage.:2018 Winter Olympics.
  
  On March 28, 2017, NBC announced that it would air live coverage in primetime for the 2018 Winter Olympics across all time zones, citing the "communal experience" and the ubiquity of social media as justification for this change.

   Cable outlets (such as CNN and Fox News Channel) incorporate the word "LIVE" in their network logo (also known as a digital on-screen graphic) when those networks broadcast live content. Some (but not all) sports cable networks will opt to insert the word "LIVE" somewhere on the corner of the screen. With the exception of special breaking news reports and overseas sporting events, broadcast television networks rarely display such a graphic during its live programming. (although NBC did display the word LIVE next to their logo during its Olympic coverage when live content was being broadcast, a practice that is being continued by its sister station: NBCSN)

Josh Elliott was listed as a studio host, although for the NBCSN broadcasts, the play-by-play announcers for each sport tossed to commercial breaks and pre-taped segments.

   The challenge may come from working outside in the elements. It could be 50 degrees when we rehearse and 50 below on game day, we're working under the pretext that we can be doing this in snow or rain ... In a normal indoor environment we have seven minutes to install the stage and get it camera ready. That can be stretched to nine minutes. It's the same time frame for this.
   The rest of the United States (except those who watched the game live on Canadian television) would have to wait to see the game, as ABC decided to broadcast the late-afternoon game on tape delay in prime time.

   BULLET::::- A 2010 ad features Andre Ethier and anchor Stan Verrett talking about a new 3D camera ESPN has. Verrett claims it is more expensive than a spaceship. Verrett has a baseball bat and starts swinging it in front of the camera to show Ethier how it looks. Ethier then says "Let me see a real swing." Verret swings and breaks the camera. Ethier asks if they are going to be in trouble, and Verrett says yes.
