wabceyewitness 818 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Noticed something different on ABC World News today.. during the first set of commercials after the A block, all the commercials were boxed by World News graphics, while the World News logo was up on the bottom left of the screen and a ticker bar displayed teaser headlines for stories coming up later in the broadcast.... similar to how ESPN still has its info feeds going through some commercials This was done only for the A block commercials, and if they could add some more content, could a pretty clever way to keep viewers tuned in and still make money on ads.

24994J 5577 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 World News started it on the first night of sweeps. Whether or not it continues after the period ends is yet to be determined.
