At nearly a megabyte, that is a constant 128kB/s stream of data that
could be used elsewhere :)

Yes, it quite often changes during the day on the sports channels.
Definitely seen it twice for a NZ game at the cricket world cup, and
when a league game was delayed due to a storm and a power cut at the
stadium (can't remember the exact game. but it was a Saturday
afternoon). That change was made minutes before the program was due to
start, and changed back about five minutes later when coverage began.
