It's just been a few of us attending in the last few (pre-pandemic) years. I've mostly been coordinating in the Meetups group.
I do hope they can do more televised National Book Festival content in the future. I'll certainly attend in person when it's safe to do so, but it's not like the attendees pay to get in so might as well put the panels on TV as well

I've not made it the last few years for a variety of reasons. One was wedding prep if I remember correctly.
You're right though, more televised stuff would be good.
