In second league opener – Sat1 struggles with sound problems

Schalke 04 plays at Hamburger SV. Sat.1 is broadcasting. The sound problems bring back memories of a broadcast from the recent past.

TV station Sat.1 is once again struggling with sound problems during a soccer broadcast. On Friday, the opening match in the 2nd Bundesliga between Hamburger SV and FC Schalke 04 was broadcast on the format ran. TV viewers heard a hissing noise in the run-up to the match and also during the action, which was constantly repeated.

Even before HSV – Schalke: sound interference in the relegation match

HSV fans in particular will have memories of the match. On June 1, Sat.1 showed the relegation first leg between VfB Stuttgart and the North Germans. At that time, TV viewers heard only a loud and disturbing hiss at the start. The presenters and expert Markus Babbel, European champion in 1996, could not be heard at all at that time.

Even though the disturbances from Hamburg’s Volkspark Stadium were limited this time, displeasure also spread on the social networks.

“And also today Sat1 can’t manage to fix their sound problems. Terrible,” tweeted user Sebastian Corsten. And “DerwahreTom” felt reminded of the parody show “Switch reloaded”. “Always think, now comes a new sketch,” he ended his tweet.

Problems at Schalke game: no reaction from Sat.1

At the relegation match, Sat.1 apologized for the sound disruptions. This time, the station did not comment.
