Media from reviews























Background music on forensic files
Background music is almost louder than the narrator. Not always able to understand what's being said.

Verified Reviewer |Hearing Impaired: CAPTIONS NOT IN SYNCH WITH WHAT'S ON SCREEN.
As long as shows are recorded, why can't the captions be in synch with what is being said on screen? As it stands, it's difficult for the hearing impaired to follow the storyor action, and takes some of the joy out of watching.
Seems like an easy thing to fix. HLN is not the only one with this issue.
NO CLOSED CAPTIONS/RITTENHOUSE TRIAL
There are very few CC's on ANY of their programs. They will start after the programs start and leave you hanging in the interim.
I want to watch the programs, but I can't keep up with the shows. I HAVE HATED DURING RITTENHOUSE TRAIL, I could not hear prosecutor was saying!!! PLEASE turn on CC and make them stay on!! Just think, All the advertisements I am missing!!
The regular at 6 P.M. are the worst. I have to not watch the programs.
IN this day and age why can you get CC's that work! TY
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
User's recommendation: Do not watch if you are hearing impaired!! NO CC.s

Verified ReviewerComplaint
On HLN forensic files the background music is so loud you can't hear what anyone is saying. It's impossible to hear what going on.
Doesn't anyone on the production crew have any any idea how really bad the annoying music is or do they care at all?????????? Would like the show no doubt if it were watchable.
- Loud obnoxious music drowning out all talking
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
User's recommendation: Don't waste your time trying to understand what's going on.

Verified ReviewerDisgusted that HLN keeps showing commercials during the George Floyd trial. If this needs to happen it shouldn't be as often as it is or for as long and the breaks are at the worst times. Tired of it!
I've explained myself. Stop interrupting the trial with all the damn commercials!!!! This is so very wrong!
- I like the station except for the commercials during the trial
User's recommendation: Commercials during trial

Music

Down the Hill the Delphi Murders
KINDA HARD TO HEAR PEOPLE TALK WHEN YOU DUB MUSIC OVER THEM!!
What Einstein made that decision?
Preferred solution: Stop putting music over peoples voices!
Disruptive Commentators
I find it very disrespectful the network continuously interrupts the testimonies of witnesses related to the Death of George Floyd: Trial of Derek Chauvin. Since this is the first week of the trial I have been watching it live on ABC News however my husband also recorded it on our DVR so that he may watch it also once he returns from work.
Thankfully for the recording, we are able to fast-forward past the 3rd party commentators who voice their thoughts &;;;;;;;;;;; opinions every 10 minutes in the middle of the witnesses speaking. I find these consistent disruptions unnecessary & quite rude. I love how other stations are showing the exact LIVE view of the entire trial. When the judge needs to speak with the State or Defense, THAT's the moment when commentators choose to speak.
Or they wait until the jury is on break to give their two sense & keep the flow of everything smooth.
I am completely disgusted with watching the trial being interrupted and paused unnecessarily in the middle of witness testimony! Please do better HLN Network!
Preferred solution: Apology
PLEASE stop the horrible, loud music.
The background music in. Very scary people horrible and way to loud.
Please tone it down. I do enjoy the show.
User's recommendation: Lower the background music

Verified ReviewerComplaint about background music How It ReallyHappened
While this show could be really fascinating, I've had to stop watching it because the 'background' music overtakes the people speaking. I've watched several episodes on several different TVs with no difference. Extremely annoying to not be able to understand what people are saying due to the music, and not worth the frustration level this causes.
- Cannot hear people talking because of annoying music
- Cant hear people talking because of annoying music
- Cant hear people talking ecause of annoying music
Preferred solution: reduce the background music level
User's recommendation: don't waste your time; you'll get only about half of what the program is about due to TOO LOUD background music

Verified Reviewer |Loud back ground music
The back ground music`is soooooo LOUD you can't hear the program!!!! The subject matter is very good.
Too bad you can't hear what's happening in the story. If you want a splitting headache trying to watch this tribe of muck then this will most assuredly guaranteed to give you a pounder !!!

Verified ReviewerI enjoy How it really Happened, but why is the BACKGROUND music so loud? You can hardly hear what the people are saying.
I was hoping with the new season that the music would have been turned down, but that seems not to be the case.
- Hln and the court cases
- To much background music
Preferred solution: The background music on How it really Happened turned down if that is possible.

Details of show. Doesnt happen on other channels
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
User's recommendation: Watch another channel
BACKGROUND MUSIC
I love to watch forensic files BUT YOU NEED TO TURN DOWN THE BACKGROUND PIANO MUSIC BECAUSE YOU CAN BERILY HEAR THE NARRATOR
User's recommendation: Speak out about this subject
Sound mix is bad. Dialogue difficult to hear.
Please fired your sound engineer(s) immediately. The mix is terrible, and dialogue gets lost. Even the commercials sound wrong.
User's recommendation: Must use captioning to see dialogue.

It’s time HLN did something about the annoying music. It’s difficult to hear what people are saying — they are drowned out by the overpowering musi
