About the Pop up Ads on TNN, Letter I Got. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

VORS27 · 02-14-2001, 08:58 PM

Here is what they had to say about it,

Please note that we are part of MTV Networks. And MTV reaches a huge
audience. Ours is small. The company wants us to be big, like MTV. MTV uses
a slew of on-screen graphics to inform their audience of their brand and
line-up. What works for MTV, the sentiment is, will work for TNN.

So they say that we will watch more with these ads poping up every so often over all programs on TNN.

I have emailed him and told him I will not watch more, but less, because of those ads on screen.

If you are bothered by this please make it known to him, as the more that tell him we do not like it, they will understand and hopefully get rid of it.

Don't forget it only took one channel to stick thier logo in the corner of the screen and now it is everywhere.

Thanks

Well, I won't be watching TNN any more. Posting comments over videos on MTV is much different than posting comments over an actual TV program. It breaks my concentration in viewing and enjoying the program. Who cares if someone wants to "ride with Jim Rockford" or "stay at the Stratford Inn"! What a stupid idea!

Oh, what was the first network to leave their logo on the screen all the time? One of the first I remember is "USA"

If it isnt bad enough they are doin it, but they show the same ones everyday!
Also I dont know if they were the first but I think FOX was the first major broadcast network to use the logo all the time.

If I recall, FOX would leave the logo on the screen for a while, then would take it off. Of course, now it's on all the time. But my local FOX station has their own logo covering the network logo.
