Look at it another way. If you tuned in and didn't know Colon had a perfect game, wouldn't you like to know it? It certainly would keep you tuned in until it ended. Sure, I know, you can see it for yourself when they put up the runs, hits and errors at the end of the inning.....but I do believe it is the job of the announcer to let you in on the secret. Jinxes are for the dugout not for radio and tv.
I don't believe in jinxes either but for decades many an announcer could let the audience know without coming out and saying it. They actually seemed to have fun with giving hints without ever saying it. I kind of enjoyed that and would prefer they went back to that. Not because I believe in the jinx but it was all part of the affair and fun of watching a no hitter.
