i guess it was the view this morning that did a joke—sorry, i missed it—using a big flatscreen as a prop, with the tv guide channel listings filling about 80% of the picture.
i wish it really were that way.
not too many years ago—before comcast realized they could pinch more profits by turning it over to tv guide—the lower half of the screen was program listings. then they cut it down to about 1/3. now it's even smaller, with less info for some channels.
sometimes they even do specials with the listings in a tiny font i'm pretty sure nobody over 50 can read.
the ever-expanding top of the picture is ads and other promotional junk nobody watches because nobody tunes in the tv guide channel except to see the listings.
any ad agency that buys time on it is probably too stupid to know they're cheating their client.
