NBL 3rd quarter coming up next around 3.50pm AEDT.
Today 
has Minnesota at Brooklyn and that game is on ESPN AU but they are showing the local FDSN North (Minnesota feed) instead of . I wonder why
It’s happened again. Instead of the NBC feed for the 2nd game, ESPN AU is showing the local FDSN OKC feed. Maybe it’s because they are doing their own show between the 2 games instead of the NBC show and hence they switch to the wrong feed.
Last week they corrected after the first time out.
Some contractual stuff ATP if it’s happened thrice.
Unlike last week, they have not swapped over after the first timeout
The only explanation I can think is because both games are not on NBC. So maybe they just use the east coast feed for game 1 & then instead of using the west coast feed for game 2, they are using the local team broadcast which could be easier to access?

ESPN was probably the same.

ESPN AU also showing the local FDSN home feed and not broadcast. It seems that ESPN is choosing the local team feeds when they are available instead of the feed.
That could be why they take NBC for Tuesday (our Wednesday) game 1 but take the available local feed for 2nd game since it’s only on NBC for PST time zones
Or because NBC doesn’t allow retransmission of Peacock coverage?
ESPN AU did show the first Peacock Monday games which did not have any local broadcasts. So they can show
That probably is the condition NBC would allow.
Well today’s first game on ESPN was the NBC feed even though there was a local team feed as well. But the 2nd game is the local Denver Feed and not the NBC feed.
So it can’t be that NBC is only allowing their feed for exclusive NBC or Peacock games. So it’s just confusing overall

Both NBA games today is the NBC feed even with there being local team feed for the 2nd game. So they must of fixed whatever issues they were having in previous weeks. It seems only games are still the local team feed as yesterday it was FDSN instead of

World feed audio for the Cowboys/Chiefs game is very shoddy.
UPDATE: Audio fixed at the start of the second quarter.

I did a little bit of comparison of some elements of world feed vs Fox feed for the earlier Packers @ Lions game. Something I hadn’t noticed until today was that the bumper music out to break on world feed was always* the Fox NFL theme regardless of what music Fox was playing.
*The exception was when Fox used the injury version of their theme, then world feed carried that as well.
It was nice to see the John Madden thanksgiving tribute spots all made it to the world feed, as did the various “thanks for working on the holiday” shots of the crew including, curiously, the shot of the crew and commentators in the booth. Normally world feed avoids all shots of the booth, which I really don’t understand considering it takes the commentary from the booth and always shows the sideline reporters.
It’s worth noting a comparison between the feeds of TNF which ESPN and 7mate take from Prime Video. ESPN takes the full production. 7mate takes what feels like a world feed-ish version which omits the “back in 30 seconds” commercials but is otherwise complete. I honestly don’t understand why NFL don’t just insist on that style of feed from each broadcaster being distributed as a world feed rather than putting the effort into making the substandard world feed we currently get.
