What Really Grinds My Gears: LXTV

If you have an NBC O&O (owned-and-operated) station in your area, chances are that they play shows like "Open House" and "Talk Stoop". These shows are recognizable by the fact that they have the show's logo on the corner of thr screen at all times. 
As you can see by this screengrab of "Open House" from WBTS-CD (NBC 10 Boston, my local NBC station), the show's logo on the corner is covering up the station's logo. If I were at the station, I'd move the logo to the top right, or if I were at LXTV, the company that produces Open House, I'd get rid of the show logos altogether, since Electronic Program Guides are a thing, you could see there and then that Open House or any other LXTV show (Talk Stoop, George to the Rescue, etc.) is on. ALSO, NBC and LXTV are owned by Comcast of all companies, so I'm sure they'd know already. LXTV, a New York-based company, part of NBC's flagship O&O station WNBC, tried to start their own digital subchannel (NBC LX), but it had little viewership.

Also, NBC LX would put its logo on the bottom left corner, so it would be out of the way for those shows.

Other than that, the episode of "Open House" featured an award-winning screenwriter known for Black Panther 1 and 2, and Creed, among others.

That Open House logo is nice, though it doesn't need to be shown for the entire duration of the program!
