Looks like another network is slowly going down the drain. :(

Their Facebook account is getting bombarded with complaints about the changes.

The only two progams I occasionally watched on that channel are the Three Stooges and Monty Python.However,I won't be watching that station again. I heard alot of households this year have been cancelling cable and satellite,and it may be just the tip of the iceberg because alot of once good tv stations as you said,have gone down the drain.

I never watched a lot of IFC, because

1.) most of the programs on their HD channel are/were in "stretchovision"
2.) my wife and I have TV-MA content blocked on our cable box.

Still, I was a fan of the IFC Media Project, and despite the block, I'm a proponent of uncut, commercial-free programming.

It's sad to see the erosion of cable channels. The same thing happened to AMC several years ago, and Universal HD and MGM HD more recently.
