Fox Sports Resolves Early Audio Glitch on JetsPanthers Broadcast After 'Old-Timey' Sound

Audio returned to normal after a commercial break following an on-air apology from Chris Meyers.

Overview

  • The malfunction began a few minutes into the first quarter of the Jets–Panthers game at MetLife Stadium and produced muffled, low-fidelity audio.
  • Coverage described the sound as resembling AM radio or a 1930s–1940s-era broadcast with a crackling, distant quality.
  • Chris Meyers addressed the problem on-air, and the feed was reported back to standard quality by the next commercial break.
  • For The Win noted the issue persisted through much of the opening minutes, with Awful Announcing estimating a duration of roughly 10–15 minutes.
  • Fans on Twitter/X widely mocked the glitch with jokes and clips, and no further broadcast disruptions or technical explanations were reported.
