Not sure when this started appearing, but we noticed the other night ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer” is now displaying its hashtag in the corner of the screen during almost the entire broadcast.

The text under the bug, which is quite large compared to the rest of the graphics on screen, encourages viewers to follow and use #ABCWorldNews in tweets.
