Tonight, I was planning on watching the Golden Globe Awards on Filmnet, and found "Casino Royale" playing instead. I was surprised by the program change because I had forgotten about the writer’s strike that is negatively impacting Hollywood right now. Nevertheless, I was dissatisfied with Filmnet for not adding an on-screen crawl to inform me of the program change, after all, the Golden Globes is a major event for the channel.Well, this got me thinking about some of the other networks…and Star Channel came to mind. They are notorious for running the same episodes of American programming on the weekends - Series start airing, they're stopped unannounced, then they start airing from the beginning again - Sometimes programming is removed altogether, with no notice at all. If I were advertising on Star Channel, I’d be concerned about their sporadic program scheduling. This is just bad business.
And please no more showings of “The Body Guard” either! Don’t get me wrong, I love Whitney Houston, but enough is enough already. How many times did this air on ANT1 before another bright network picked it up?
