U.S. Logo-Free TV Broadcast Organizations?

Posted by Cliff on from the aren't-station-identification-breaks-enough dept.

iluvpr0n asks: "I ran across The UK Campaign for LOGO FREE TV and admired their goals for encouraging television broadcasters to stop taking up valuable screen space with their annoying and brightly-colored logos. It's not enough to be bombarded with 8 minutes of commercials during programs, but they also need to deface a supposedly artistic work (yes, for most of television that's highly debatable) to enhance their 'brand identity' initiatives. Is anyone aware of groups with this goal operating in the US (or other non-UK locations)?" Do we really need these things anymore? I'm sure most television viewers out there can associate shows to networks, these days.

  5. "CNN has learned" by SpinyNorman · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    What really pisses me off about network branding is this "CNN has learned that baked beans make you fart" crap! I wouldn't mind if it really was a network specific journalistic scoop, but invariably it's some days old news that has just filtered up to the level of the networks attention. If you want cutting edge news then netowrk TV is not the place to go.

    Actually CNN is one of the best - at least they don't have garbage stories such as ABC news declaring Bentonite *CLAY* a "potent" and "troubling" Anthrax additive.
