Is anyone else getting that (e|t) sign at the top right corner of their screens on PBS? Or is it just me? It's getting annoying.

All I know is that it mysteriously appeared in the corner of the screen of all PBS Kids programs starting last Thursday, when I was in the midst of taping the "Hurricane week" Sesame Street episodes. And it stays on the screen continually, fading away only after the PBS ident at the end of a program plays.

I find it a bit annoying, especially when coupled with the combination PBS logo/W over V logo my local station West Virginia PBS usually adds to the bottom right corner. Can't they just leave the corners of the TV screen alone?

HA! I have it lucky, here in my area, PBS is the ONLY channel that doesn't have their logo in the bottom right corner. My local FOX station used to have a HUGE logo right in the middle of the bottom of the screen.

Whatever PBS station it is that I get in my province, it doesn't have that logo.
Unless that logo is, as previously stated, for childern's programming. Then, I wouldn't know, as PBS doesnt show kids shows at this time of day.
