The Swiss television channel Blue Sport broadcasts all the matches of the Swiss men's football league, the Super League. Until recently, their German-language broadcasts had one commentator, but now they have a second commentator, always a former Swiss player in the league (and often a former Swiss men's national team player). One feature of these broadcasts strikes me as unusual: The main commentator speaks Swiss High German, but the second commentator speaks his particular variety of Swiss German. This is so consistent it must be a conscious decision by the broadcaster. I've listened to sports broadcasts in many countries, but I've never before heard one where two commentators speak different languages. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 30 November 2024)
