When did IFC (Independent Film Channel) go commercial?
I haven't had access to it for a while and just today turned it on and was shocked to see commercial breaks.
Does anyone know when/why this happened?

2. I know they've had commercials between movies for years.
I don't know when that started, but I do know Absolut Vodka has been a long-time sponsor.

Are they doing breaks within the movies now?

3. It apparently happened last month....
http://communityvoices.sites.post-gazette.com/index.php/arts-entertainment-living/tuned-in-journal/26564-t-v-qaa-12-23 The third question down.
I noticed a commerical break while watching "office space" and had to check to make sure I was on IFC...
Pissed me off, not too many cable stations worth watching any more.
