Interesting for that channel. I am used to getting a show in 45 minutes after I skip through all of the commercials. It is rare when I cannot do that which gives me 4 hours of shows in 3 hours but I don't do the history channel very often. Mostly it is major networks ABC, NBC, CBS and a half dozen or so cable channels. My math is pretty good I think but the numbers are creeping up, and I do notice the history channel is worse. I also noticed that the popular shows tend to run an hour and 1 or 2 minutes with the extra time used by commercials but then the next show is a bit short. I know it is way up from when I was a kid and shows only had 7 minutes per hour.
