NBC's Use Of SkyCam On "TNF" Draws Mixed Reviews On Twitter

NBC’s “TNF” broadcast marked the return of SkyCam, which was met with mixed reactions on Twitter. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport wrote, “Feel like I’m watching a video game... which is cool. Like it so far.” ESPN’s Damien Woody tweeted, “You’re literally getting to see how players are reading things with this camera angle.” Denver-based KDCO-AM’s Benjamin Allbright: “Early straw poll results: football guys love the skycam, casual fan prefers regular broadcast angle.” Cleveland-based WKRK-FM’s Keith Britton wrote, “Don't get me wrong, I like SkyCam view sprinkled in, but there's a reason we all enjoy watching games on TV like we're sitting at 50-yd line. No one's sitting there clamoring for an end zone seat when you can have 50-yd line view” (TWITTER.com, 11/16).
