No, not a long defunct Bay area biotech company.

"What is a chyron?

A chyron is a text-based graphic that overlays video content, such as television shows and movies.

Chyron is the general name for any graphic that is superimposed over a video or live broadcast. While a chyron is usually placed at the bottom of a frame, it can appear anywhere within the frame.

Closed-captioning is a common use of chyrons and generally appears at the bottom of the video frame. Chyrons placed here might also include important information for the video, such as the time and location of the scene. Newscasts often use chyrons for news headlines, sports scores, stock market information, weather reports, and other related information.”

I don't watch main stream media outside of local affiliates. This is one of the funniest I've seen. Didn't the producer get fired for it?

It's great to see but too bad they fired the guy who put that on TV.
