Thanks for the correction. I'm in Canada and we cancelled our cable awhile ago, so I don't really keep up with what's going on with PBS, aside from getting the occasional DVD (I think that's where I got the ExxonMobil Masterpiece Theatre thing; some of them still seem to have that part, if I recall correctly).
That said, I think I still prefer when corporations stick to just the sponsorship credit and not the name rebranding, even if they have been effectively fully funding stuff. The Masterpiece Classic/Contemporary thing just kind of emphasizes how awkward it can get when the co-named sponsorship goes away.
