ITV 's coverage of the FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon was marred by a hissing sound heard throughout the build-up to kick-off.
The likes of Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Joe Cole were on punditry duties in the studio at Wembley Stadium but it was difficult to hear them over the persistent noise. There was momentary respite from the hissing when the broadcaster cut away to adverts but, to the frustration of fans, it resumed once their coverage continued.
Supporters tuning into the semi-final took to social media to plead with ITV to solve the issue with one writing on Twitter: "Fix the hissing sound on ITV1 it sounds terrible!" Another added: "Need to sort the sound out guys, terrible hissing noise in the background."
