In and out of video, color commentary, if you are collecting a bunch of interviews with players, then you got to lead up to that interview, introduce it and then cut/throw to it and come out of it.

lets say you want to talk about a particular incident in a match that was exciting or whatever....talk about it, cut to video of it and then come out of that, talk about it and then/now coming up next we have.....

Not just action video but lets say a robot was featured at a community event or fundraiser that week....go out and cover the story, vis/bite/clip (visuals, sound bite and interview clips(s), and there is an item for you're show.




this is not to say you were boring....just some ideas, I am just a camera-operator, but one thing they want us to do at the station I shoot for is story telling, tell a story using sound and visuals with commentary voiced over when needed.
