No bet.  Of *course* they don't display their logo during commercials!
They *care* about their advertisers. 

Many other networks display logos, but logos are not nearly as offensive
displayed over a CNBC talk show, for example, because you don't even
need to look at the screen to enjoy the show.  Also, very often other
network logos are transparent.  Also, WLFL is *NOT A NETWORK*!!  WLFL
has *nothing* to do with the production of Star Trek The Next
Generation, for example -- it is not even a FOX show, it is a syndicated
show.  This logo is as offensive as a cable company putting its logo in
the bottom right corner of all channels they deliver -- ABC, CBS, etc.

I know you're not defending WLFL, but they offered this excuse to me 
when I called and it just doesn't hold water.  :-)

Later,
Drew
