I can see how his "angry shutdown mode" might appeal to most diehard fans, but I doubt it does a lot to attract casual fans, kids, and new viewers to the broadcasts.

What they want are viewers and they know that people will turn to the Sox game just to hear/see Hawk's response.
Hate Hawk or love Hawk, Hawk boosts ratings.
