CBC Radio

Since I don't have a TV anymore, I have to guess as to the meaning of "moving graphics". I take it this is not live footage of the events being talked about, with the announcer inboxed or "floating" in front courtesy of chromakey. That would at least provide more meaningful background.

But if text or iconographic images are being used as a moving... Read More pattern only, then this will interfere with the ability to hear the words being spoken and recall them, as the brain will be trying to attach significance to the moving images that they don't have.

Wonder what was the thinking behind this? Was some sort of viewer hypnosis the intended effect? Seems to be backfiring if people are switching channels.

I hate the graphic inserts they are distracting and unnecessary. Please let Peter and Wendy sit down its like an awkward cocktail party without the drinks. Besides, its strange looking at the back of his head when he is talking to a big screen. You can keep the new set, American as it is, but put in some chairs or an intimate section for interviews and kill the bottom bands!
