The announcers that Mr. Babe hates are the Fox announcers. He will actually mute the TV and put on the radio. Unfortunately, the radio is a few seconds ahead, which makes for an odd viewing experience, but anything is better than listening to Buck.
I have a similar experience with hockey...the OLN/Versus/NBC announcers are on crack...so I use the local radio to pick up the broadcast feed from our announcers.
