We expected as good or better than Smashboxx; we're not getting it.
Smashboxx was doing fine (pretty well, actually), then they were kicked to the kerb by Steve Dodge and replaced with this (deleted in this family-friendly environment).

Does anyone else think Nate sounds just like John McEnroe?
I am angry about free live disc golf! I should be paid to watch this garbage!
Joking. I like the coverage so far. Definitely on pace with smashbox in my opinion. I enjoy Nate and Val much more then Terry and Dixon. Terry is good though. Having him possibly out in the field commentating sometimes would be great. Or maybe anyone in the field that could just relay a different perspective back to the both at times. Very nice so far. It's great to have this back especially when there's 3 feet of snow outside my house.

To be fair, NO ONE should have expected as good or better than Smashboxx on the first day out of the gate. That's just ridiculously unrealistic. If we're going to judge them fairly against Smashboxx, you gotta give them a couple tournaments to get their feet wet..
Maybe your expectations are the problem?

Not at all. After the way Steve Dodge treated Smashboxx, CCDG, and Jomez so badly, we have every right to expect and demand that Dodge deliver a better product immediately, and he has not done so. Because of the way he treated Smashboxx, CCDG, and Jomez, he should not be cut any slack at all.
The way he treated them? Is there some sort of abuse I'm not aware of?
My understanding is he made a business decision, informed them of it, and that was that. The outrage that resulted was more the entitlement of the fans of those outlets not getting what they want than anything that Steve did directly.

Jonny V and Gary O are working on the broadcast right now. If they were treated so poorly, why are they back working with Steve on the broadcast?

We disagree, and we'll continue to disagree. Dodge made bad decisions, business and otherwise, and the way he went about it vis-a-vis Smashboxx, CCDG, and Jomez, was handled worse than badly.
Disagree completely.
When they say "We are confident that the efficiencies created by our new media team structure and technology will allow us to create high-quality disc golf media right out of the gate" it's completely fair to criticize their first attempt.
