Commercials during the shows now?

So, as if it's not bad enough the Broadcasters have their crummy logos on the tv while you're watching your show (you have the "network" and then the local affiliate has to put THEIR logo on top of that), but this takes the cake:

A few days ago, while watching Supernatural on the WB (WEWB), channel 15, I see a stupid Sunmark Credit Union "animated logo" on the left-hand portion of the screen.

Couple that with the other stupid logos on the screen and the bottom 1/5 of the screen is taken up by logos DURING the show.

You can't even watch the entire screen to see what's going on.

Soon enough, all shows and channels will look like a partitioned FoxNews screen, with the show in the upper corner and commercials 24/7. The actual show will be looked at by network execs as some irritant that interferes with a potential revenue stream.
I hardly watch network tv anymore, mainly because little appeals to me (41 yr old professional white male- not the target demo apparantly) and the little I do watch, is less entertaining than I'd like. Movie channels, SPorts, and DVD. That's it for me. And it's enough actually.
