To bjobull:
I am also wondering if TV Land's decisions to air more recent shows (whose episodes cost more for TV Land to purchase) and to produce their own "reality" shows has caused the channel to up the price it charges cable and satellite companies to carry the channel. Often when this happens, if the two sides can not come to an agreement on a carrying fee, the cable or satellite provider will simply drop the channel from the lineup for a period of time as a way to induce the cable channel to lower its carrying fee. I know this has happened to Dish Network with some channels because the satellite provider gives its subscribers the opportunity to purchase a fixed price subscription for a year at the time. Because the subscription fees that Dish gets from its customers are fixed they can't allow channels to raise their carrying fee demands because it would eat into their profit margin. I'm sure the same happens with DirectTV and cable companies, too.

I usually have to miss them in the morning because of other obligations---however I will be able to see them next Wednesday I think.
