OMNI2 in Toronto usually runs ads for Crosswords during Crosswords. I know that this is probably standard practice, but it annoys me nonetheless.

There is a promo embedded in the show. Kind of a "keep watching" thing. If it doesn't mention the station, that's probably what it is.

It's supposedly a "topical" promo, like what most talk shows do in that it's supposed to be plugging what's coming up "this week"--but when the same promo runs two weeks in a row, it's nothing more than another generic.  The stations may be required in their contracts to run the promo.
