scifi.ign:TV Round-Up has a bit on those stupid semi-transparent channel ID bugs. they say UPN is considering selling that space to advertisers, and there are a couple of links to protest or write a letter or something. much too Activist for me.
the local FOX affiliate here already uses that space for advertisements for Pizza Hut during the syndicated run of The Simpsons and Home Improvement. it is annoying and doesn't work (i never want pizza after seeing the ad). i wish it'd stop. the bug isn't as annoying as the local WB's "Coming Up on WB19:" pop ups that cover the lower quarter or so of the screen. hate them.
i'm still trying to get used to seeing the local FOX advertise for the local UPN and vice versa. they're both Clear Channel Communications stations, and for some reason, they think it's ok to do that. it's not. it's creepy.
