Trending: Match Call in VR?

When watching the World Cup on TV, see if you can tell if the commentators are actually in the stadium covering match, or broadcasting via remote from the International Broadcast Center (IBC) in Moscow, or even from Fox's studios in Los Angeles.  While remote broadcasting is not new, Fox's mostly stateside broadcast crews for this year's World Cup might have been precipitated by budget cuts owing to the United States' failure to qualify.  Only two of Fox's six crews will be in Russia, led by John Strong and Stu Holden.  Telemundo, the Spanish-language broadcast rights holder in the U.S., will cover all of the matches from Russia, with the majority directly from stadiums and the remainder from the IBC.  It will be interesting to see if the studio crews have the same fervor and excitement in their voices and mannerisms as the stadium commentators, who will be drinking in the atmospherics from the pitch and in the stands.  #RussianVuvuzela
