TV Commercials - Ur Not Doing It Rite

[dr_phil_physics]

Huh?

Twice now on ESPN, I've seen commercials for Capitol One which had the music and sound effects track, but not the human audio tracks. WTF? First one was the 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea giant squid, the second was Armadillo Man.

One sounds like a mistake. Two seems like a problem.

Doesn't anyone check these things anymore?

Most of those switching things are automated these days and run on clocks. So nobody is really watching them anymore.

Of course. Which is my point. The networks aren't even watching their signal. So much for quality control.

Though I will say, that in my hearing/viewing, I did not see or hear even one campaign commercial on radio or TV after Election Day. Whew.
