“…Scholars have also argued that mediated sports are constructed to create excitement when it is absent (Morris & Nydahl, 1985). One method for doing so is through the embellishment of telecasts using technological enhancements, such as slow-motion replays, graphics, or other production techniques (Cummins, 2009;Cummins, Keene, & Nutting, 2012;Mullen & Mazzocco, 2000;Williams, 1977). Others have demonstrated how commentary intensifies the perceived violence or suspense within play (Comisky, Bryant, & Zillmann, 1977;Sullivan, 1991), again contributing to arousal.…”

“…That is, commentary may enhance game play, but it does not fundamentally change how play is depicted. This distinction is of critical importance given the argument that technological innovations have transformed mediated sports (Morris & Nydahl, 1985;Mullen & Mazzocco, 2000). In one of the few studies to focus solely on production elements, Williams (1977) conducted a content analysis of NFL broadcasts that examined multiple structural features: the number and location of cameras, number and duration of shots, framing of shots, and organization of shots into sequences.…”

Although scholars have generated much research examining enjoyment of mediated sports, much of it has failed to explore how visual production elements shape viewer response. This study examines the impact of one increasingly common technique, subjective camera, on viewer arousal and enjoyment of game play. Participants viewed multiple plays from a college football game R. Glenn Cummins (Ph.D., University of Alabama, 2005) is an Assistant Professor in the College of Mass Communications at Texas Tech University. His research interests include the impact of various structural, content, and user characteristics on the enjoyment of media entertainment. Justin R. Keene (M.A., Texas Tech University, 2009) is a dual-Ph.D. student in the Department of Telecommunications and the Cognitive Science program at Indiana University. His research interests include motivated cognition, differential cognitive processing of sports fans, and cognitive modeling. Brandon H. Nutting (M.A., Texas Tech University, 2009) is a doctoral candidate in the College of Mass Communications at Texas Tech University. His research interests include cognitive processing of mediated messages and time perception.

“…The NYSE studio uses five individual LED television monitors, including a large touch screen that allows the commentators to draw trend lines and make comments that appear on-screen. Sports commentators, such as John Madden on NFL Sunday , innovated this technology, and the televisual development of sports and news programming have worked hand in glove to mediate the presentation of the live event for an audience (Mullen and Mazzocco 2000). Fox Sports’ introduction of the “Fox Box” in 1994, which constantly displays the game clock and score on screen, is a clear antecedent to The Closing Bell ’s countdown clock and review of market movement.…”

Rebuilding Finance’s “Action Man” through CNBC’s The Closing Bell

CNBC’s The Closing Bell contributed to the expansion of finance capital in the late twentieth century through its televisual emphasis on incremental market change that functions affectively to call for action. Such emphasis on short-term stock movement was called into question during the 2008 global financial crisis. However, detailed analysis demonstrates that The Closing Bell did not alter course. I argue that its ongoing focus on incremental movement has worked affectively to shore up a masculinized culture of finance during a period that demanded structural reform.
