That’s actually called a “bug”—not the software error kind, though. In sports broadcasts, we get the classic “score bug,” always been there, usually small and tucked in a corner to keep things low-key. But what you’re seeing here, this whole bottom-of-the-screen takeover, is way more like those old-school news channel bugs from back in the ‘90s or early 2000s. You know, the ones that would stretch across the screen with stock prices, news updates, whatever they wanted to throw at you, right underneath the main action. It’s more intrusive for sure, but not anything wild—it’s actually been around for decades.
I thought the strip across the bottom was called a chyron? Not heard it referred to as a bug before (not saying you're wrong though).
Maybe in news it is. 🤷♂️ My knowledge comes from working with a 3rd party for ESPN. I know ESPN refers to this as the bug. There are "bug operators", and boy howdy does the producer yell at them when they're not on their toes.
Ha, I bet :-)
