They've done a great job! The broadcasts have been fantastic. I'm a Phoenix native but out of state and I paid extra to get Fox Sports AZ so I can watch the pregame and postgame shows. Great job is being done by all!

Thanks for taking us behind the scenes. You would never know all that goes on because everyone does such a great job with the broadcast.

reading the article felt a bit like reading Michael Lewis' book Flash Boys when you were talking about the set up

Hi Gina, I been wondering this for a while. How come Al McCoy doesn’t do the tv play by play also?

I'm fairly certain Al used to do a radio/TV simulcast (somebody confirm/correct me if I'm wrong), but that typically does not happen in any market these days.

Al McCoy definitely did a radio/TV simulcast for many years and was great at it. When they split into separate broadcasts, Al stayed with the radio.

When the maskless Eddie and KRay stand in front of the Suns logo right before each game begins and talk for a bit, they appear to be much closer than 6 feet from each other. Are they truly socially distanced?

The full banner is probably about six feet long, so for those couple minutes, I would say they are not.

That is unfortunate and simply not smart. I tweeted at both of them and FoxSportsAZ about that subject after each of the first two games and received no response. It is really dumb and not a good example to show their fans. They need to do better.
