Screen bugs

Originally, Duck TV displayed a 10-second still shot image of their logo as their digital on-screen graphic that would play each segment after 1–3 minutes. This practice has since been discontinued, as Duck TV's current on-screen digital graphic is seen throughout a program that is being broadcast.[ citation needed ]
