Just a note:

The network would never put a logo on commercial material (the advertiser is 
paying for the entire screen, and won't share it). Notice that even CNN drops 
their "crawl" during commercials.

The material you are talking about is "promotional", or otherwise belongs to 
the network. It is not "advertising" as far as the FCC is concerned, and is 
logged as "PR" (promo) and not "CA" (commercial announcement).

So the commflagger is actually doing its job correctly, in identifying CA 
material. The problem is that you do not want to watch PR stuff either, but 
that's another issue.
