In other words, I don't blame the announcers for doing their job.
On the other hand, EAA management could step in and create a show or two a week (say, Tuesday and Thursday) with minimal blabbering over the PA during the airshow. That would appease the hardcore aviation folks who don't need the narrative and would like to hear the aircraft, but would leave the other days for the blabbering announcers and their target audience.
