That's fucking irritating.

I love your tv tho and cant ignore it. My dad had one of these beasts when I was young it had to be over 300 pounds easy. Thing never moved once it was there.

That’s actually called a “bug”—not the software error kind, though. In sports broadcasts, we get the classic “score bug,” always been there, usually small and tucked in a corner to keep things low-key. But what you’re seeing here, this whole bottom-of-the-screen takeover, is way more like those old-school news channel bugs from back in the ‘90s or early 2000s. You know, the ones that would stretch across the screen with stock prices, news updates, whatever they wanted to throw at you, right underneath the main action. It’s more intrusive for sure, but not anything wild—it’s actually been around for decades.

I thought the strip across the bottom was called a chyron? Not heard it referred to as a bug before (not saying you're wrong though).

Maybe in news it is. 🤷‍♂️ My knowledge comes from working with a 3rd party for ESPN. I know ESPN refers to this as the bug. There are "bug operators", and boy howdy does the producer yell at them when they're not on their toes.

I hate the mid-game ads that take up 2/3 of the screen

That's good. It should serve as a reminder that you need to abandon a dinosaur push media. It's a subtle way to punish normies who haven't caught on yet.

programs with tickers often have something on a portion of it, especially sporting events. at least it's only a program promo and not a flashy animated thing for a prescription drug or something.
