Has Antenna TV stopped credit crunching this show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I stopped watching Antenna TV months ago when they started credit crunching. I am thinking about watching the channel again but will not if this show is still being crunched.

Laff is the place for me these days. I love that channel and they don't crunch or edit their shows.

Unfortunately no. At least not on weeknights. But the crunching has gotten even worse. On shows during prime time that weren't crunched before they now crunch them to display an Antenna TV ad about an upcoming marathon, promos for shows like Bewitched and Jeannie, or just a generic ad promoting the network in general, as well as ads about Johnny Carson coming in January. This is really stupid because they air h same commercials during commercials breaks so it makes no sense to show them here. I've about quit watching Antenna TV myself because I can't stand all this crunching although if I'm not busy sometimes I watch Family Ties on weeknights because it has this ad crunch, which while I hate it, it's not as bad the split screen crunch. Sometimes I watch Evening Shade on Sunday nights. It has the split screen crunch on Saturdays so I won't watch it then. It actually isn't crunched at all for the first episode on Sundays then it has the ad crunch on the second episode. But I'm pretty unhappy about One Day at a Time. I wish they could have gotten it in 2011 when there was no crunching.

I don't go out of my way to watch Antenna TV anymore and I'll probably quit watching in January unless they stop crunching credits.

They're hypocrites. They clearly stated years ago that they wouldn't crunch the credits. And guess what? They went back on their word anyways, and they refuse to take the hint.

They promised they wouldn't. One of the age old mantras is to always keep your promises, if you want to keep your friends.

And that is driving me crazy they keep saying that but it's all a big lie. I wish they would drop that slogan because it is so not true anymore. I can't wait until birthday and Christmas in December because I am going to buy the complete series of Family Ties so I won't need to watch it on Antenna TV.

Credit crunching is unnecessary. For what. To plug a show for 10 seconds?? They dont have 10 seconds to spare?
