The Winter Olympics continue. ABC is has all new shows tonight as well as FOX. Is it just me or is this extra minute or two added to a show so it goes just into the next hour of programming getting a little to prevalent. When setting things to record you really have to pay attention to this or you might miss the end of one of your favorite shows. The shows aren’t any longer they just put in a few extra commercials and are put in at a different time than normal. This allows them to get a few more dollars in add revenue for add shown during their highest rated shows. It also makes it hard to watch the whole episode and then change the channel to watch something on another channel because you have already missed the beginning of it. What do you think of this practice? Let us know in the comments.
