On Feb. 2, the Atlanta Falcons announced that WAGA would be the new home to Falcons football and serve as the official local TV broadcast partner. The WAGA sports team has given viewers exclusive access to the Falcons with an inside look and analysis leading up the season and throughout training camp. Additionally, it has offered in-depth, human-interest storytelling.

The new feature programming will offer fans a variety of content centered around Falcons football each week.

Huh! I always thought Fox O&O's would use NFC Teams as their official home for football games. Im amazed by this press release that "WAGA would be the new home to Falcons football and serve as the official local TV broadcast partner" I thought Fox 5 would market WAGA-TV as the official home of Falcons games due to Fox airing the games.
 
OTA audio on Fox 5 Falcon game

I was watching the Falcon – Bears game OTA yesterday on WAGA Fox 5 in Atlanta. The fake crowd noise turned up so loud that I could not hear the announcers most of the time. The following game’s the prerecorded crowd noise was high but at least you could hear the play by play team most of the time. Is this a “special” audio feed for OTA in Atlanta or was crowd noise too high for everybody? I realize this was not the game of the week so the “first team” technical crew was not there. Isn’t there someone who listens to what is leaving the sight or listening to the game at the studio to make sure the commercials are correct? I can only guess everything is automated but don’t they set up the audio levels and test the AGC before the game. It sounded like to me they had the crowd noise level as “normal” and the announcers 10 or 20 DB lower. In the past when there where folks in the stands you could always hear the play by play guys even when the fans went wild. I thought the NFL was "big time" technically.
