I've noticed lately that TV commercial breaks have become less than professional...and I don't know whether this is due to satellites, which is a miracle in itself. We can watch as it's happening! Who would have thought!
. The anchor person used to keep tabs of the time and know just how many seconds remaining till it was time for a commercial break...or they'd kill a little time so that the break would be smooth. The anchor person is not alone...there's someone who does a little windup with their hands.
I've noticed not so today!! No..they cut off whoever's speaking in the middle of a sentence and then you see a big commercial,which makes you wonder all you missed. But it probably wasn't all that much because it's all reality TV anyway. Perhaps that's a more inexpensive way to produce shows.
Did the audience in real time see and hear what is going on and we were just 'cut off'.....and did we really miss something!
I think it's sloppy broadcasting that you don't need to be cognizant of the time....that the commercials will get in no matter what. What if there was a real emergency...but time to break. I know the answer. Everything is routinely scheduled and automatic.
It appears to me that this has just happened since we now have digital TV...analog is gone! Is our technology too technical for us, that it can control regular programming?
I think I want to go back to the old days when they announced we'll return after a brief message from our sponsor.
