[quote name=\'bellbm\' date=\'Jun 2 2004, 09:08 PM\']I noticed today on Jeopardy! that during the closing credits they did a split screen during a long credit roll?
Have they done this before? I don't see why they would. It's not like they are running ads in the other box.[/quote]
It's also done to allow stations the opportunity to slip in their anchor on the left side of the screen to promo newscasts and then say before "J!" goes back to full screen "ABCBSNBC 109 Eyewitness Action NewsCenter at 4 starts NOW!"--goodbye credits. Interestingly enough, in Chicago WLS still does a squeezeback every day on the J! credits, I guess for consistency's sake--they've also now cut out the "J!" audio completely when the anchor comes on and play a cut from whatever Frank Gari package they're currently using underneath the promo. But that's why they do that--I've long assumed that "H2" does it for the same reason (in fact, someone on another board was surprised that there were outtakes during the "H2" credits, since their station runs promos instead).
And WLS does run "J!" until the Sony whatever-that-shape is stops its undulating.
