[Air-L] Looking for correct term

In the biz, we still use icon, branded logo on screen, and the old
network ID as well as the term bug, snipe, IBP (in broadcast promo). It
varies by region, and who you work with too. I still produce national
pieces, and I have noticed that even though the net has brought us
closer together terms very from LA, to Atlanta to DC to NY. Many are
just made up and become part of the lexicon. It's amazing! The Internet
has actually created more options and more words because everything is
converging due to disruptive convergence technologies.
