Oh, never mind then. Carry on.
What’s even worse than annoying back to back commercials (“Lost another loan to Ditech!”) is when the commercials are 50 times louder than the show you are watching. Loud and annoying–I guess the double whammy is to insure you won’t forget the product they are advertising.
If the master control operator catches it, they can either try to run it later in the day (within ordered parameters) or note the audio problem in a discrepancy report. This is a report that notes any deviations from the log. Accounting will then pre-empt the unit, and sales can notify the agency and ask for permission to air a makegood.
Of course, if the network broadcast it correctly, and the satellite or cable carrier is the one that messed up, the network is not liable to air a makegood.
Ah, thanks.
MASTER CONTROL OPERATOR sounds like a cool job title. 
It can get very hairy…especially during live sports events.
Don’t forget visually annoying, too. Like when they flash frames of still shots about 2 every seconds, or edit the footage so it “jumps around”. I know what they’re trying to do; they’re trying to get your attention because they know you probably got up to go to the bathroom or something and you aren’t looking directly at the t.v. anymore, so they’re hoping bright, fast-moving, or “jumpy” images will bring your focus back. I wonder if that really works, though, because at least for me, those bright, fast-moving images literally make me nauseated, and force me to turn off the t.v. or change the channel when I probably would have just sat and watched it were it a more benign commercial.
But the Bush administration is working on eliminating cock-sucking!
