You all are once again forgetting that our viewership accounts for a very small minority in comparison to the rest of the general TWC audience. People like those shows. If they didn't, TWC wouldn't air them.

Can't say if that's true or not. All the people I've talked to in person don't like these changes either. I'd be interested in exactly who enjoys this.

Unless you've talked to everybody in the country, Tyler's point still applies. Believe it or not, there ARE people that enjoy TWC's programming, and ratings show that. :thumbsup:

I guess it depends on where you live then. :wacko: Philly does have a unique viewership compared to many other areas after all.

Well, there comes a point in time when you can shove too much down a person's throat. TWC does not make any new episodes of Storm Stories, WWCH, or ICHT anymore, and they keep re-running the same episode to the point where you can see it several times a week. I don't see what is wrong with some long form, but they have way too much on now. I too know a lot of people that have complained about it. What I take out of this is simply that they want to pay OCMs for fewer hours, and long form is an excuse to do that.
