I haven't >watched WLFL recently, either, but I'll bet you $10 they don't have >their logo up during commercials. 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 -- Drew Davidson \\ HELP FULLY INFORM JURORS!
