I realize people like me, with Tivos (or any PVR) are wreaking habit with commercial laden shows. But things are getting ridiculous.
You may recall my post in November of last year, when I first noticed CourtTV overlapping the final credits of one show (on the RHS side of the screen) with the starting credits of the next show. This means they can squeeze an extra ad or two into a half-hour (think about it). Unhappily, not only have they NOT discontinued this practice, they’ve expanded it.
Previously they would stop the overlapping and go full-screen when the credits of the next show completed. Now they go a full 1 – 2 minutes into the actual content of the next show, which is even more annoying … and it was annoying enough previously.
Look, CourtTV, I realize I can skip your commercials, so the extra ads don’t hurt me … but the half-screen content … now that’s so annoying … well, I’m actually blogging about it. What’s next … a full half-hour with commercials side-by-side with the actual show?
