It is my understanding that quite  a few of the prints that local
stations get have ALREADY been butchered!  There was quite a market for
film frames just after ST went into syndication, and they had to come
from somewhere!

If it really bugs you, call the station (better, write them a letter)
and complain about it!  So few people ever do that just a couple of
calls can really make a difference.
