For those of you in the New York area who get FOX 5 NY, they have started to do the most annoying thing. When showing the 7: 30 PM shows, the last scene where some credits are rolling, they shrink the screen in the left hand side of the screen and show some teaser WITH THE AUDIO for something else! So you miss some of the actor's lines. I tried to find an e-mail address where we could complain but I didn't find one on their web site. But I did find a list of contacts for Fox 5 with fax numbers. Perhaps those of us who watch FOX 5 could fax them a letter to stop doing this right away. It ruins the end of the show:
FOX 5 in New York at 7:30 PM is showing teasers over the last scenes!

Viewers in New York express frustration that FOX 5 overlays teasers with audio during the final scenes of shows, obscuring dialogue and disrupting the viewing experience.

That's pretty much been the norm here in the UKoGBaNI for some time. Ratings wars are taking over TV world-wide and stations will do everything they can to grab and hold an audience. We're going to have to live with it, I'm afraid.

That's called a "flex". Every station does it now. Usually just before the local news comes on and they tease what's on the news. Don't even try to complain. No one cares.
No one cares? Those who watch Seinfeld do! Don't you want them to know they "Aren't getting away with anything".

It doesn't hurt to complain! I notice since my posting about this for the 7:30 PM Seinfeld shows on FOX they don't cover up the audio anymore at the end, so you can hear what is being said even though the picture is reduced for the last scene.
Somebody did care!
