So you want to showcase a 4k video, great!
Look at this:

Look at the levels? Yeah sure, why not pedestal it up a notch.
Brilliance at work!
How hard is it to check your levels before you publish this?

Levels? Pedestal? Mmmm, gosh, what're they? My 'puter didn't come with a pedestal. Should I have one?
Yep, kinda typical of the visual illiteracy that marks the average consumer. How d'ya think BB keeps selling all those bad TV's and monitors?
I wonder if the maker knows that the online posts and player ain't 4K. Prob'ly doesn't.- My sister Ann's brother -
2014 Australian Open?
I wonder if it's really 4K? I guess it's not impossible, but to me it seems unlikely any of it would have been shot with a 4K camera. Maybe I'm wrong.... -

This is one of those things that like 5 people here care about and get their panties in a wad over, and nobody else in the world, including me, cares even a little bit about.
It doesn't bother me at all. I'd watch it if I cared about the subject. -
Corpo life realities (see Office Space) - no one give a shit - CAPEX and OPEX are more important than content quality - low crap quality - use to it and it will be only worse even for more and more N*k... people use smartphones to watch 4k content - why bother about quality ? - compressed black - good in bright light conditions...

Old folksy proverb: "Mediocrity is climbing molehills without sweating. When noticed, it never fails to throw a tantrum of entitlement."
Saw that in an old book of wisdom quotes somewhere, wrote it down a long time ago.
A psychology teacher once said in a class I took: Psychologically, mediocrity relieves us of the pressure to do anything well.
End rant. Nothing you can do about it, folks. It's always been with us and it's here to stay.- My sister Ann's brother -
Let's also not rule out the possibility, since this is an official video from Australian Open TV, this well may be a deliberate creative choice.

Other than laziness or ignorance, that's a plausible explanation.

Yep, for sure or some retard left alone (to cut production cost) with Finalcut (oh man anyone today can create footage - people doing this on regular basis rating own poo on facebook).
This explain why i see so frequently even in German TV (explanation for non Central Europeans - for decades German TV was example of good practices and standards and as overall high technical quality) mixed/inverted field dominance - non video people doing video assembly not even aware that something like interlace exist - then you have on screen flickering all moving objects and as there is no automatic field dominance detector/corrector in chain then you have world seen by Huntington's disease sick person...

Let's top it, how about a 4K Star Wars 7 trailer?
