        I also think they were ready for that and they masked it live. It doesn’t make any sense for the presenters to mention the booing if you can’t even hear it in the recording. It must have been very loud.

          I don’t know how one would mask it Maybe the crowd is totally overdubbed. I cannot find phone recordings. Are all phone uploads of the event being rejected by YouTube?

            You can’t find anything on youtube these days. Uploads from ordinary people don’t appear in search results. They’re crowded out by the mainstream. It was called youtube for a reason. It isn’t that anymore.

            It’s not hard to mask them, just lower the microphones from the audience or play something else instead

        It’s all about mic placement. Ive had the good fortune to play sports on live tv in front of large crowds a good amount and it’s not uncommon at all for the crowd sound on the broadcast to be way different than in person. That being said, I’d bet there’s a different broadcast from a different country where you can totally hear the boos.

          I am sure thet had more than a single microphone. So it is most probably all about the mix. Include crowd noises only when that is convenient.

        If only there hadn’t been almost 300 years of testimony and evidence of the horror…
