Some of those look pretty bad but I feel like having a news chyron on-screen for 10000 hours indicates something deeper than having bought an imperfect TV.

- nine_k 2y agoJust a TV somewhere in the lobby of a doctor's office, or some such, that permanently shows news, interspersed with some short information pieces from the medical establishment. It would also usually run closed captions at all times, also at about the same area of the screen.
- simoncion 2y agoYep. The test they're running is exactly this scenario. In one of the articles related to the project, they talk about how they considered handling the fact that the 24/7 news channel they selected for the test significantly changed something about the bottom bar (the logo? the crawl design? both? I can't remember.). IIRC, they considered running a lengthy pre-recorded loop through the screens, but decided against it because that might not be representative of real-world programming decisions or whatever.
