While I agree signing should have been there, as others have already commented there was always some form of alternative (subtitles) and it didn't happen every time. Further a better broadcasters could add signing to their non-live broadcasts so it would only be the live situation where it would have been missed.


Given a "must do better" certainly but compensation for something hard to quantify like "stress" is something else altogether.
