FanDuel Sports Network, a broadcaster of baseball, basketball and hockey teams throughout the U.S., is relocating some of its production roles to a hub in Denver, rankling sports television crews.
The changes are a cost-cutting measure that threaten the quality of nightly telecasts, alleged nine FanDuel SN workers who were granted anonymity to speak freely about their employer. Typically, FanDuel stations have produced games from a truck situated at or near the game’s venue.
“I truly believe it will affect the quality of our broadcasts in a significant way,” said one of FanDuel SN’s graphics operators. “That won’t be welcomed by our viewers.”
