I bet it's switched live with all cameras iso. Trust me the only way to
switch the show that obnoxiously is live. They just fix obvious flaws in
post. This hyper switching technique is all the rage these days. I hate
it because the switch becomes part of the performance and is distracting
as hell.

If this show had a bigger budget they'd iso the mics too and remix the
musical acts before air. Like ACL or BBC shows they could sweeten the
mix. Cheap production is what I saw and heard.
