She's easy on the eyes and presents the information in a smooth, understandable way. Sorry but these "boy band rejects" that they have doing the announcing just stumble over themselves and don't do that well in their play-by-play announcing...

Yeah, I know, they're all SpaceX scientists and technicians and stuff, but they need to pick the better ones who are more attractive and have smoother delivery and more charisma IMHO... LOL

You're welcome. I noticed that, too (and he also shaved off his beard). They may have decided to go with the reduced broadcast crew because the coverage would be brief, and because the payload has many secret features (its planned orbit, its experiments, what they'll be doing, etc.), and the banter between the usual 3 - 4 people involved might accidentally reveal something that the USAF would prefer to keep under wraps.
