I suppose having so many channels has its drawbacks, the whole competition between the networks has to be crazy.
It's different here. Tv and tv shows aren't that big a thing, you know? Let's forget about the cable, our regular, free network? Has five channels - six if you want to count Arte and La Cinquième as separate channels.
A new network arrived some months ago called la TNT which is a free network, it has overall nineteen channels, except for now? We have to pay to get it. Yes, I quite love the irony of paying for something that is free. It you buy a new tv now, la TNT is included in it, but the ones we currently have? Don't, so if you want the other channels, you need to pay for them.
ANYWAY, I digress, sorry lol
Technically, I can't even say that I don't understand their reasons, their goal is to keep their viewers, after all; so it would stand to reason they would prefer to take a break during big events but argh! It is insane; and since from my position, I don't always know what big American event is happening, it always looks like they're doing this at random, it's even more annoying *glare*
