USA

The show I watched was Law and Order:SVU. At all times except for commercials their was a USA emblem in the bottom right corner of the screen and usually an ad in the lower left corner. Unlike the radio, their were no station tags or call signs given between commercial breaks unless their was a commercial for the network, advertising a special viewing event. Their was a total of 15 minutes approximately of commercials which had a lot shorter intervals and more types of commercials within breaks. The rest of the time was devoted to the actual show with no shortenings of the media it is broadcasting. At the very beginning of the show their was a scene from the upcoming show and then the credits of the show. Going straight into the rest of the show, their was a commercial break ten minutes later. There were breaks from then on between 8-12 once the programming resumed.

N.O. Exposed

For someone who's never legitimately lived in New Orleans, I would say I am one of its biggest supporters. Where else in the entire world can you find such a refined taste in everything that brings people joy? From the people to the food to the scenery, New Orleans is a very diverse place to be. Although there are many high points to New Orleans, like every other major city, New Orleans has conflicting troubles within the city. New Orleans was once in the top 5 cities in the entire United States with the highest crime per capita. This documentary, N.O. Exposed gives a lot of the background and politics as to why the city is the way it is. Music is a very influential factor as to how the story is told. It is almost like the storyline was written to music. The movie opens up with the beginning of a song written by a New Orleans native and there is a scene of the skyline and the city. By the way, most if not all of the music in the film is from New Orleans artists. Songs expressing violence and pain are used to express those exact sentiments throughout the film. I originally saw the movie with my cousins in New Orleans and whenever i get homesick I watch it on youtube. There are scenes of New Orleans traditions such as second-lining, mardigras indians, and brass bands. Music is a huge part of each and is used to make people happy and bring them through hard times. Maybe that's why I love the N.O. so much. We always get through and music is a helping hand.
