Annoying Voiceover Promos

[Dave McAndrews]

Does It Happen In All Markets Or just Where I Am?

Let's Take Syndicated "Friends" Or "Will And Grace" Episodes.

You Know How There Is Usually A Final Joke At The End?

Well A Voiceover Comes On Promoting Another Show ...

Blowing The End Of The Program!

Always Pisses Me Off!!!!!

Seems To Happen On The Co-Owned Fox And WB Stations Here.

Does It Happen Everywhere?

That used to happen in Indianapolis on WTTV (WB4) and WXIN (FOX 59), sister stations owned by Tribune.  These days, they shrink the picture really small to make room for a list of what is coming up in the next hour or so.
