What in the heck is going on with the audio during Channel 5's newscasts? Any time I watch it over the air or through DirecTv, it seems like the microphones get queued up too late whenever they switch from reporter to anchor to clip and back. All too often, somebody will start taking before their microphone is turned on. You can still hear them, but faintly, as if they were being picked up by another mic in the room.
I've never noticed this on any other station's news. It seems a little unprofessional for a major Chicago TV station to have this problem for such a long time (well over a year).
