I do so HATE being treated like a moron, preferring to choose whether I want intrusive music or not.<br /><br /><br />Roger G3XBMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13673890140751539870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068655517292184514.post-70144152573264467822014-05-29T10:02:04.083-07:002014-05-29T10:02:04.083-07:00Indeed.

Seems to be that to feed to the lowest common denominator that the "chaff" is far too often more emphasised than the "wheat". In general I find BBC several notches in quality above the typical US programming and while there is some good Canadian programming being done the remainder is just wannabe copying of US programming <br /><br />Something relativley new is to "live tweet" viewers comments along the bottom of screen during a program. Very distracting and very irratating. If I wanted to read these sorts of "tweets" I would go online and troll twitter - I don't use twitter or facebook, I find them even more vast wastelands than Television.<br /><br />200 channels to choose from and nothings on.<br /><br />of course I speak in very general terms. There is some very good television to be found as there are some good to be found in the online social media streams - they are the exception however, not the norm.<br /><br />cheers, Graham ve3gtc<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068655517292184514.post-8165853592513283302014-05-28T17:14:50.323-07:002014-05-28T17:14:50.323-07:00"Just been watching a documentary called &quo..."Just been watching a documentary called "The world's weirdest weather" on Channel 4. It was a good and interesting programme nearly ruined by music so loud you could barely hear the man speak."<br /><br />Yes!!! <br /><br />I haven't noticed it too much on French programming, though commercials are somewhat louder. But, on American television, I do note the loud music, all too frequently, overpowering documentary narration as you have.
