Why Free to Air Sucks!!!
You're trying to find out who a particular actor was and the credits get sqashed to 1/4 of the screen size Or, you get up to go to the toilets and the promo gets played literally three times louder than the volume of the show / music over the credits. And the promos are ALWAYS for idiotic "reality" shows that they promo every five seconds anyway ie My Kitchen Sucks, suX-Factor, Australia's got no talent, Dancing with the c-grade stars |

If they have a cooking show. You must develop 10 cooking shows! Flood the market until the next fad topic emerges and then cancel the shows you spent millions developing - Find out your advertiser is lying about something. Play it as often as possible before someone complains. This is ad revenue after all |
- Television will always cater to the lowest common denominator as it is easier for smart people to dumb down that it is for dumb people to read a book every now and then. |
Every show not made in Australia has to have their beginning intros sped up - it's only minor, maybe buying the station a few seconds - so annoying! |
The intro and end are at normal speed, but l swear the show has been slightly sped up?
The show also has lost about 5 minutes as well for more dumb ad's, but speeding it up?
This sort of crap is also happening with classic songs on the radio, they seem to chop the hell out of it!
They also do it online, but it is probably a copyright avoidance thing with YT?
Destroying the end credits of movies with, an overloud Biggest louder crap is also a biggie.
Yes, free to air is turning into Maccers, l rarely go there, and when l do l stay away!
