Even worse is "shrinking up" the picture during end credits for news
updates.  I was watching the "Ben Stiller Show" the other night when
this took place.  Problem is, this show has things going on during the
end credits.

The number of stations with logos seems to be getting out of control.
FOX, VH-1, etc. all do it.  I fear it is a trend which will continue
without end.  They all claim it is so the viewer will know what channel
they are watching.  Gee, I always thought that's what the channel
indicator was for.
