It's not helped by the sub-par lighting, but those cameras have to go. They haven't been fit for purpose for a long time.
The BBC used to use captions like 'We apologise for the poor picture quality, please do not adjust your set', when pictures were this soft. Now they seem to call them 'broadcast quality'.

Yeah they have to go. But look at it this way they got their investment out of it.
On Facebook there’s a group Overheard in the Live Truck and a post there where PQ that once would not be acceptable is now commonplace. Before anything but the sharpest pictures weren’t used but now the urgency for live on the spot reporting and viewer that’s gone by the wayside. Now it’s more competitive than ever especially in the network and cable news arena for video with politicians especially they don’t care while it’s happening where the sound bites most important. It’s all thanks CNG along with throngs of reporters roaming the basement of congress and office buildings.
Even more interesting was the blue screen and what looked like actual static (who knew this was even possible in a digital broadcast chain) during the promos after the bulletin.
Presumably something wasn't right during the opting out process.
