Eavesdropping on cheer squads

Fox Footy channel could take viewers into the middle
of the "official cheer squad" seating sections at AFL
matches via a new broadcast feature.
The feature is one of several being trialled by the
pay television network as it inaugurates the Sports
Active side of its football coverage. If introduced,
Sports Active will allow viewers to produce their own
coverage of matches by choosing camera angles and
replays via their remote control.
Fox Footy chief Rick McKenna said variable audio was
being examined, with one feature enabling viewers to
turn off the commentary and listen to the crowd noise
or cheer squads.
