Ex-pros in the commentary box. Usually only just retired, so mates with most of the players and therefore never criticise when it's due. So many players, apparently, 'would have hoped to have done better'.
Watch clips of any match from the 1970s with, say, Barry Davies and you'll get a sense of the extra atmosphere and pace created by a skilled commentator working alone.
With this season's new aberration - halftime interviews - watching football is becoming less and less involving with every year. The visual coverage is obviously fantastic these days, but that's about the only improved aspect that comes to mind.
