That banner wasn't only intended for those already viewing it (and yes, some viewers really do need reminding; some leave their TV set to the same channel much of the day), but also aimed at grabbing some channel surfers flipping through. TV ad folks are smarter than many give them credit for.
Now radio, that's a whole different story - much stupidity in how they operate, such as blabbering on and on about nothing (and no, I'm not talking about the ads), practically encouraging listeners to tune out ... and it shows in ever lower ratings; few young people listen to traditional FM radio anymore, but I digress.
