Thank you... I just got done ranting to my wife about this as well. I am a teacher and I had a kid at 112 wrestle and I didn't see hardly any of it... I have one more at 140 and I better at least get to see him... might be karma that I turned down my finals ticket instead of driving to Des Moines.
I am pretty close to sending an email to voice my opinion to IHSSN or whatever they are called.

I am goin to rail on this on Monday. There had better be a good explanation. If the answer is so they can put it in HD then don't do it in HD. It's far better to get to watch all three matches at each weight. I can guarantee that a lot of people are going to be real upset with this. Basically two thirds of the people with a dog in the fight will be and then the vast majority of the rest of us that like to see parts of all of the matches

It has nothing to do with Fox. It's the IHSSN that has the contract

good, its a terrible HD picture to start with
Jon, complain for me too! I paid for the webcast and for 2 hours now all I get is "Tech Difficulties, Please try again". I've sent 2 emails and actually called and talked to a live tech support guy, but he couldn't help. All he could do is log complaints. Took me 20 minutes to log in to the damn thing and then it won't work! I doubt I'm the only one with webcast problems.
Been watching this for 15 years, Jon. It's a holiday for us. IHSSN needs to answer this.
I have my doubts that it was their decision, entirely. FOX Sports seems to like things on the cheap.

So far, of the 4 matches that I actually care about... I have seen none of them. This telecast is completely ruining the wrestling experience for me.

Agreed. I have called and left a message for the person I know is in charge of ihssn as I intend to talk about this Monday morning. How many years can you all remember them having the split screen?

Fox is just the channel it is airing on. They are not responsible for the production. That is Ken Krogman and his IHSSN outfit

I am also tired of that damn song, every commercial which is every 30 seconds between classes at the podium.

And 1-A podium presentation they don't get the camera on the kids til they have announced the name of the runner up. Just a bad job

I have no dog in the fight. But fox is not producing the broadcast.
