Both the main shopping channels do it, and fairly regularly. And I can’t quite see why?
Happened again this morning on QVC. The shot changed to behind the scenes, and the presenter began to gush that some bloke who works the camera called Mark is leaving. Well, with the greatest of respect to Mark, I never knew he was there to leave, have never seen him before, and I doubt will ever see him again - as on mainstream live TV they don’t usually wheel the tea lady out on a live broadcast to say she is leaving today. On Ideal World the other day, they dragged out some fellow from Bulgaria who was a floor type assistant and told us he was leaving, even though he wasn’t actually leaving that show. In fact, it was just his last live show with that particular presenter. Great. Fantastic. Marvellous.
Yes, if it is a presenter or an expert leaving, do please stop the broadcast and announce it to us all, because it means at least something. But for out of camera shot staff why not just keep it in-house like most other walks of life do when a staff member leaves? Still, I suppose promoting a family ethos sells goods to some.
