The freeview channels do something simliar over here. Commercials aren't nearly as annoying if it's 2 minutes every half hour.

I wish they did that on BBC America. Sucks to be watching Life on Mars or Robin Hood and having commercial breaks wedged into weird spots in the drama. Same goes for Dr. Who on SciFi.

It's on E4 over here, so I doubt they show it on BBC back home, but watch for a show called "The Inbetweeners". It's the funniest damn thing I've seen in a while.

They took my BBC America away.

I miss my Top Gear and Gordon Ramsey.

I thought they'd taken mine away, too, but it turns out they just moved it to channel 200-something.

fucking Time Warner.

This is a pretty safe bet on Fox's part by getting some publicity for programs nobody has even heard of. Pretty much all network commercials are pimping other shows for that network. Fox is one of the worst offenders. Nothing that says they can't use this gimmick to bring in a fanbase and then go right back to business as usual. I would be very surprised if they used this strategy as an overall network decision.
