Having spent 30 years doing customer research - a fair amount of it on some of the talking heads & shows you know - media doesn’t get better ratings by this clutter approach. Just like the DJ that can’t stop talking, talent always wants more exposure, more face-time, more words. The viewer objects and tunes out. We want to see the show or game…content. Clutter is counterproductive and creates churn.
I get why they do it -- they don't want us to change the channel. But it's annoying. We have the ability to watch what we'd like to see.
