Television WTF?!

[bjarvis]

For two consecutive nights, we've been watching a movie on TNT when suddenly, without warning, the station says they're pre-empting the remaining hour of the movie so that they can show the opening of a baseball game.

WTF?!

Seriously, if you were engrossed in the movie, do you really want it to be jettisoned for a professional sports game? And since the game wasn't in the broadcast schedule, if you were actively seeking the game, how would you know it was on this particular channel in the timeslot originally allocated to the conclusion of something else?

What were they thinking?

I was wondering about that myself. We made it home early and decided to turn on Poisendon. We thought when we tuned to TNT we would see the last 20 minutes of Titanic, and instead it was the baseball game. I was just glad it ended before our movie of choice came on.

Sorry you didn't have the same luck.
