A-Channel Atrocity

TV

The New VR was new for over a decade, and then it was gone.  Now, it's A-Channel, although it appears the only change is the brand.

Earlier in the week I was watching some Dateline-ish program that was simulcast on A-Channel and I was incredibly annoyed by a large and obtrusive "A" they stick in the bottom corner of the screen.  I'm now used to stations doing this, but usually it's fairly small and translucent so the annoyance level is minimal.  A-Channel's logo is clunky, distracting and infuriating.

I didn't think it was possible, but I miss The New VR.

Update: Someone at A-Channel must read this page.  If you go there now, their once opaque logo is translucent.  It's still too big though...
