It is happening all over television. It doesn't matter if it is a major sporting event or your local news. When reporters are handing over the story to another reporter live at the scene, the audio dies. The reporter with the microphone is talking but the viewing audience can't hear a thing. This type of situation is happening so frequently these days that it has forced me to turn off the television. We can send people to the moon but the live feed on the street to report a stomping herd of people about to riot is no longer available.
It's high time that reporters be honest with the audience. They should just come out and say it: "We are going to go live to the scene...but don't be surprised if you don't hear a thing. Just watch the lips move and maybe try to read them."
