Some Tv Programmes Over Running And Others Starting Early.

[iansheff 88]

Has anyone else noticed how programmes are running late and into the time when other programmes are supposed to start? Several times lately on various channels programmes have finished about 3 minutes after the next programme should have started, also occasionally programmes have started  before they were due to start. What is the point of a programme schedule when they not sticking to it?

Happen regularly now, hate it when you record one programme after another and you get the end of first recording when playing back the second

It's because of how they're edited. Even when you're streaming shows with no ads the length varies - Game of thrones varied from about 45mins to well over an hour!
