I was probably too hard on Sundance Channel. Another film I watched only had a three-minute commercial break at the 1-hour mark. It had uncensored dialogue as well. However, they did have a text ad for another of their shows onscreen throughout. That'...

Princess, I agree completely. I only watch TCM, Me-TV, and Encore Westerns (though I DVR The Three Stooges from IFC and LEAVE IT TO BEAVER from TV Land, but I just FF through the abundant ads). But those 3 channels are the only ones I watch consistently...

>They have to make money somehow< Don't most cable channels get a piece of the pie from the carriage fees on various cable systems? And there's always room before and after to sell toilet paper. No sympathy here for (supposed) film loving organiz...

I just watched something on the Sundance Channel, and I find they're now running commercials and on-screnn adverts during the film. I understand that they're owned by the same folks as AMC, who seem determined to turn everything they touch to crap.
