Bumper (broadcasting)

<p>In <a href="/facts/Broadcasting/AV1f3dGy">broadcasting</a>, a commercial bumper, ident bumper, or break-bumper (often shortened to bump) is a brief announcement, usually two to fifteen seconds in length that can contain a <a href="/facts/Voice-over/6DNxyS1W">voice over</a>, placed between a pause in the program and its <a href="/facts/Advertising/Hgz271hW">commercial</a> break, and vice versa. The host, the program announcer, or a <a href="/facts/Continuity_(broadcasting)/r4LeAG42">continuity announcer</a> states the title (if any) of the presentation, the name of the program, and the <a href="/facts/Broadcast_network/6Podl0AB">broadcast</a> or <a href="/facts/Cable_television/GzXa4pbW">cable</a> network, though not necessarily in that order. On children's television networks, they are sometimes called external eyecatches due to the resemblance of <a href="/facts/Eyecatch/wWdoVBEP">internal eyecatches</a> in <a href="/facts/Anime/d5j1by0m">anime</a> and there is usually no voice over, but some bumpers do feature one. <a href="/facts/Bumper_music/lxfNekMR">Bumper music</a>, often a recurring <a href="/facts/List_of_signature_songs/cFgHsyoA">signature</a> or <a href="/facts/Theme_music/4e7rVIsf">theme music</a> segment, is nearly always featured. Bumpers can vary from simple text to short <a href="/facts/Film/wM3b9Kk3">films</a>.
