How much of a difference do you think it would make if they just made a few simple adjustments, something like freezing the tournament clock immediately as soon as there is an all-in and a call?

I think this would help a bunch. For some reason players love to ham it up at a final table and take forever to make decisions. The final table I was at, we played 9 hands in the first 40 minutes.

Doesn't ESPN encourage players to play up to the cameras? It guarantees the player air time. The more the players ham it up, wasting time, the worst the blind structures will be. Those final tables will finish on time, just with fewer hands played.

It wasn't televised.
