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

Verified ReviewerHearing Impaired: CAPTIONS NOT IN SYNCH WITH WHAT'S ON SCREEN.
- - Captions are out of sync with dialogue, hindering the hearing-impaired from following the action.
- - This issue isn't limited to HLN.
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 CCs on their programs.
- - CCs start late and disappear during gaps.
- - I can't keep up or hear the prosecutor without CCs.
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

Shyann Malone
- - Shyann Malone is filling in for Brooke Meade.
- - The reviewer finds her nasal voice and facial expressions annoying and asks not to use her again.
Shyann Malone is filling in for Brooke Meade on Morning Express is completely annoying! Her nasal voice and facial expressions are driving me nuts!
And someone please tell her to pick up her chin!
Please don't use her as a substitute again! Ugghh!
Let’s put it this way; if Shyann’s face appears on screen, it’s time to switch the channel.

Verified ReviewerComplaint
- - Background music is loud, making it hard to hear the dialogue.
- - The show is difficult to watch due to the audio mix.
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.
Agree. Turn down or off the music.

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

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!

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
