International Film Channel and Commercials

dwinth · ‎02-09-2009

Maybe I never noticed this before, but when did the International Film Channel start having commercials? I do not remember seeing them previously. I know that when AMC started having commercials, I quit watching that channel.

I know that there is an HD version of AMC that we do not have, but is there an HD version of IFC and the Sundance Channel?

On December 8th, 2010, IFC began airing commercials during their programming; despite this, presently all programming on IFC remains uncensored, with the exception of Whitest Kids U Know.

With that update:

790 TCM - Owned by Turner. Commercial-free.

792 FMC - Owned by NewsCorp. Commercial-free.

795 AMC - Cablevision's Rainbow Media. Airs commercials, and generally censored versions of films.

797 IFC - Read above

798 Sundance - Owned by Rainbow Media. Commercial-free and unedited. Viewers may see on-screen advertising for upcoming programming.

799 Reelz - Hubbard Broadcasting Corporation owned. No clue about commercials or censorship.

1789 - Shorts HD. I believe this is commercial-free and unedited.

1791 - Sony HD. I believe this is commercial-free and unedited.

Reelz and TCM are also available in HD.

From what I have seen Reelz does have commercials. Doing a bit more research, it looks like there is an IFC-HD. I still cannot find if there is a Sundance HD.

There is a Sundance Channel HD, but it is only carried by a few providers.

Does anyone watch those channels?

You'd have to be insane...or just plain mad to open that can of worms.
