Viacom satellite channels to increase advertising content

Nothing, but always worth noting anyway.

Sure is :-)

I think Viacom has been playing with this idea for a while. The late night repeats and programming on Comedy usually start at around(for an example) 12:05 and end at 12:40 for a half an hour show like South Park or Futurama. This is just going to create issues for people who watch programming from a network run by another corporation. Remember the old WTBS where they would begin and end everything five minutes later than the rest of the TV stations?

Between these stupid decisions and DISH being sued over PTAT now it's almost like the studio's want you to cancel your cable provider.

I'm all for anything which causes people to get angrier at a channel. Eventually the ones that are the worst will go out of business, leaving more bandwidth for the good ones.

So their solution to increase revenue is to give viewers an even larger incentive to record first before stop watching?

FIFY. And that is just what the OP is doing.

The Dolands are Cablvision, Rainbow and VOOM. Not Viacom.

My bad.

Revenues going down because of low ratings? Make better shows, don't put more trash around the trash. Talk about driving your customers away.
