Now that the age of internet is upon us, and cable and satellite have made TV a 24 hour active paradigm, viewers, readers and surfers don't necessarily sit around stuck to one location once they've finished consuming their medium of choice. Television shows have a finite number of episodes, and when they're out, many channels either fill up the slot with new content, filler, or just play the same episodes over and over again until the new season is ready. When a book is done, there's usually a year or more until the next installment. Web content updates depending on the style of the page. To drum up excitement and anticipation for the release of new material, popular media will have a New Content Countdown Clock which sits (not at all unobtrusively) in the corner of the screen counting down the hours and minutes until the most anticipated new material. Particularly egregious cases (at least in the case of TV) will have the clock fixed in place so that it's even present in the corner of the screen during the commercial breaks. May often appear — on TV at least — at the end of a Theme Week or Marathon. Sister Trope to Commercial Pop-Up. |

When MSNBC put up a clock counting down to the deadline for Saddam Hussein's surrender during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, The Daily Show replied by turning it into a parody of 24 (complete with the ticking sound effect, and Jon Stewart's dismayed reaction to the timer). |

Homestuck had a quasi-example with its End of Act 5 Animation Bump - Andrew Hussie added a progress bar measured in percentage which he continually updated over the months spent working on it, and partway through issued a target release date of October 25 2011. Plenty of countdown clocks ensued on fansites. |

At the end of the preceding episode of Stargate SG-1, Sky One did this for the premiere of Stargate Atlantis. Since they forewent an ad break between the two, and the countdown only occurred over the end credits, nobody minded too much. |
