Why would they lose a half hour of programming? On SelecTV, if a movie runs over, they may or may not start the next movie up right afterwards. So while the TV guide may show Superman III starting at 9 PM, it is often the case that it doesn't start until 9:05 or 9:10. Besides, there is a lot of other stuff that they can use to "fill" the time with. I personally would like to see more of the Rock videos (as I don't currently have cable, and don't get MTV).
