I'd say it's more for the support staff than anything, since they have so many commentators on the pine. But still, how many do you need? You don't need TV quality production on every broadcast. If a bunch of huge players are on the final table of a championship and your camera crew is away, get a guy out there with one camera, point it at the table, and go. It's better than nothing...
Last year Tuck was just pulling randoms into the room to do commentary. The production quality wasn't that great. It was nice, it felt genuine, like a bunch of guys that like poker and just want to make sure everyone not in Vegas can watch it too.
