HDNet Movies - commercials and censoring

[doc000]

I noticed a few days ago that HDNet Movies is now riddled with commercials (like every 15 min it seems) and is also censoring movies. Was there a change in ownership or something?

If they're gonna censor things and have commercials, it doesn't really seem like a premium movie channel.

It has never been considered a "Premium" channel. You pay extra for those.

We do pay extra for HDNet Movie channel, it's part of the Movie Pack that is $10 a month.
I don't know if it considered a Premium channel but it has some good movies that I will DVR but not now.

I've removed the HDNet Movie channel from my favorites list. Adding commercials did it. Now, the HDNet Movie channel is no different than Tubi or Plex.

AXS TV owns HDNET movies and now they have ruined the AXS TV channel with the addition of a side bar and a bottom news scroll. Arghhhh

Arghhhh is right... Bloomberg did something similar to this - only worse. Not sure why...

Ye all forget it was Mark Cuban that started hdnet, then sold to Axs, making his first millions.

I emailed AXS TV and received a response from the head of Content and Marketing.

ALL thw streamers are getting more subs on their ad tiers, which is like going back in time. Don't want therm, pay up! In the no options case of HDNET...it was nice while it lasted.

If everyone jumped off a bridge, would HDNET jump off a bridge?

(And I see they didn't even bother to address the censorship issue.)

If the bridge is burning, yes they would.

by the way, AXS TV along with HDNet movies is owned by Anthem Sports & Entertainment, an Canadian entertainment company owned by Leonard Asper, son of Izzy Asper the founder of CanWest Global Communications a major media company in Canada that since went bankrupt the sold to Shaw Media.
