You used to be able to watch footy on SKY with just the sound of the crowd.

Yeah I remember that, used to have it on surround sound.

I'm guessing it's more than possible. Doubt Ed would be able to give an idea if they could or not as he's just a reporter. You'd need to speak to the guys who run the OB/TV channel.

I really don't know the answer to be honest but could ask today in the office. Every fight recorded has different audio tracks and some are free of commentary so that we can edit with them in the future. Not sure if it could be done from a technical point of view or, if it could, the demand would justify the cost.

Thanks Ed.
