Less Infomercials - it's a good thing

[MarcB]

Lifetime is now showing less infomercials. They used to show infomercials 230AM-7AM. Now the infomercials are on 4:02AM-7AM. As of note after Midnite they're starting shows at :01 or :02 like sister networks A&E and History Channel. And History International is now H2? WTH?

The link below will take you an explanation for the changes:

Next you feel the need to express anger on the World Wide Web, even in the form of three letters, please keep it away from your questions. More folks would be willing to provide answers for you if you were to ask nicely.

Are they using H2 now because GM is no longer making Hummers and History doesn't think they will sue over the name?

 

[imhomerjay]

Bah, WTF is wrong with WTH, anyway?

Along the same token, also this week, ALN (formerly The Nostalgia Network, formerly GoodLife TV) is rebranding themselves "Youtoo TV", with its programming revamped to reflect the social media movement.

I have a feeling that they'll be changing their name again soon, as "Youtoo" sounds like "Youtube" -- a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Looks like they got tired of getting the HINT.

Great, only six episodes of The Magic Bullet and Shark Products instead of nine. That will allow for more 'programs' but still, it's Lifetime. You shouldn't be watching that still. You're not living with your mom, or a female over 50.

As of note after Midnite they're starting shows at :01 or :02 like sister networks A&E and History Channel.

All of the pleasure, none of the punctuality.

They're in cahoots to merge with the Oprah Channel and become H2O.

Lifetime isn't 100% about women anymore. They've been airing a lot of programming from sister networks History Channel and A&E - American Pickers, Pawn Star, Cold Case Files, etc, etc, etc. Plus they picked up Unsolved Mysteries Version 3.0 from Spike TV. Next thing you know Lifetime will be airing reruns of Dog The Bounty Hunter.

They should merge with MTV Networks and change the name to {The Sheet Channel} The slogan will be"You Love Crap" "We'll Give You Crap".

KWTF. That was funny.Is there a WASS and KASS call letters.

I think the band U2 should sue YouTube!

Here in San Diego one of CC's sports stations has the calls KLSD-AM. Originally is was supposed to me Liberal San Diego because that's where they stuck Air America while it was on. Who knows what it stands for now.
