If you watched the NBA Finals on ABC last night, then you could not miss the debut of the new mic flags. Mike Breen, Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy all held them during the open of the NBA Finals. Then Doris Burke got to use the mic with the moving video throughout the game. Many found this distracting as it forced the viewer to focus on what was moving on the microphone rather than what was being said by the announcers. But it got ABC some buzz on Twitter last night which is what ESPN wanted. Here’s a video from the Recom Group demonstrating the mic flag.
And this is what the manufacturer is saying about the mic flag on the YouTube site.
