Stumped by TV shows and athlete joints? Here’s the answer!

The answer to the crossword question “Like some TV shows and athletes’ joints” is “TAPED“. When athletes are injured, they often have their joints wrapped with tape to provide extra support and prevent further injury. Similarly, some television shows are taped in advance of their air-date to allow for editing and post-production work. The term “taped” is also used to describe a recording of a live event that has been captured on tape or other recording medium. Therefore, the answer “TAPED” is a fitting description of both the physical support given to athletes and the technical recording process used in television production.
