There are litrerally HUNDREDS of similar stories. I've had a show rejected (major network) for a "Phase problem in the FX stem." It turned out to be a car by that had been panned left to right. (That'll teach me!)
Anyway, there is a larger issue here, which is the communications gap between broadcast and post production. There have been efforts in the television academy to open discussions. but they have not yielded any results as yet. There is great hope that digital broadcast will even out some of the inconsistencies that presently exist.
However, until that time, WE all need to do our part to communicate better with our broadcast partners. It's simple guys, pick up the phone and call until you reach someone who understands. It's frustrating, but worth while.
Let's do our part to make it better. Then, having done our part, we can really bitch about how lame the broadcasters are!
Good Luck!
