Has TWC lost its way?

So can someone tell me how shows that are milked dry and aired 3 times in one evening boosts ratings and increases viewership? All it is is money money money. Save money by being too lazy to have an OCM be on TV. You'd think by now that with the constant LF sponsors (many of which are now animated, which pisses me off), ads on the LDL every time it cues, ads in every last place you could possibly think of, and but 2 hours per 14 of actual programming, that they would have eliminated any obvious deficits.

So people in all time zones can have a chance to see it.

Again with the crazy ideas, why not send different feed to the Eastern/Central Zones and the Mountain/Pacific Zones? Just so people can see programming at 4 and 7 instead of 4, doesn't do TWC any favors.

That wouldn't work for satellite viewers without costing more money. That would mean that DirecTV and Dish would have to have 4 different feeds of TWC (TWC SD/HD East and TWC SD/HD West). More problems include that they would have to use different studios, which would cost more $$, and more signals would need to be sent up into space.

Thats every TV channel or business. Its about making as much money as possible. If reducing the quality of programming reduces costs and keeps viewership the same or higher its a win for them

I no longer am a fan of the weather channel. Its just that simple. I am sick and tired of seeing long form programming on during the weekends, and now during the most important times of prime time. If people tune into the Weather channel, its not to watch long form, the average viewer wants to see the forecast..

Agreed. 4 straight hours of longform: waste of time

Whose time is it wasting, Mr. Saenz?
