Sundance TV censors?? Since when??

[Galileo126]

I watched "Donny Brasco" on Sundance-TV last night, and noticed it was heavily edited for language.

Since when did they start this shit? I thought Sundance and IFC didn't pull this crap.

1. They also did not used to

have advertisements or show old damned TV shows.

2. Owned by AMC Networks

I guess they are trying to follow the success they had with AMC by adding commercials and editing for content. I used to like AMC when they showed old movies and had no commercials but I think they couldn't compete with TCM. It's all crap now.

3. Really? AMC??

I didn't know that. Oh well, looks like no one is immune to being a corporate whore. (sorry, Mr. Redford - nice try.)

I abhor AMC - they are everything that is wrong with cable TV.

<geez>

4. Well, it was a corporate whore from day 1

Redford was pissed when he got cut out of the IFC cash cow, so he went to Viacom and started Sundance, but it was a partner of Showtime and started as a pay channel. It got purchased by AMC's parent a few years ago, I think in 2008.

All non-premium cable TV is the same. They are all in a dying content delivery medium and trying to milk it all until broadcast and cable die.
