FOX, almost as bad as CBS

Well, I am continuing in the post-Idol blogging here, with a rant from one of my good friends that is super-pissed at FOX.  Given that they couldn’t keep the show within the two hours last night, and he recorded it, he is mad as to how it was cut-off.  Here is his post:

Can someone please tell me…you get 2 hours for the Idol finale. Do you think you could possibly make the announcement before the start of the 3rd hour???? This is exactly what I got on my DVR ( i can’t stay up till 10..that’s just not in my sleeping schedule.) And the winner of American Idol 2008 with 12 million more votes is..
And the DVR stops recording!
Seriously! Really?? You’ve got to be kidding me!

I truly understand Brian’s frustration.  I started my recording around 9:30 and just had it on as background noise.  If it hadn’t been for @iJustine giving us the spoiler of who won, then I would have been pissed about them not keeping the show within the two hours.

Given how FOX can’t keep a show within two hours and how CBS manages to screw-up their Sunday nights during football season, are they even listening to the consumer?  No matter how many times I write and let them know my frustrations over this, they don’t seem to care.  In fact, things just keep getting worse.

I am looking forward to the day of IPTV, but with the way the ISPs have been acting lately, that will get interfered with too.

Cheers!
