I’ve mentioned before on this blog how much I dislike preemptions. By preemption I mean an interruption of regular viewing for a large period of time, usually long enough to cause you to miss a piece of storyline. I haven’t mentioned interruptions. I know, a preemption is an interruption really. But I’m referring to the “brief interruption” stations sometimes make, of maybe two to three minutes or less. While annoying, the “brief interruption” is short enough to tolerate, and not miss a piece of storyline. I tend to think most news a station considers important frequently only merits a brief interruption. What news do you think is worthy of a brief interruption? What news do you think is worthy of cutting a huge chunk out of a show?
