Silence the Bell

The FOX News debate last night was dominated by the sound of a bell signaling the candidate that his/her time was up. Needless to say, most candidates continued for long periods of time after the bell rang.

Why can't they have a clock which shows how long each candidate has spoken thus far, and warn the long-winded that they won't get any questions until the other candidates have caught up? Isn't that preferable to a distracting bell that everyone ignores?
