Which basic cable channel is the worst at ruining movies with too many commercials?

TVLine

In the streaming age, viewers have countless options to watch movies commercial-free. "But sometimes you don’t want to deal with option paralysis and spend more time scrolling row of tiles after row of tiles than actually, you know, watching something," says Matt Webb Mitovich. "No, sometimes you instead just want to scan your on-screen cable guide for the red rectangles (their color on FiOS at least) and choose from a mere handful of movies that are airing at the time of your boredom. You simply want to choose between, like, Olympus Has Fallen, Bridesmaids, Olympus Has Fallen, The Shawshank Redemption and The Shawshank Redemption. Even better, you hope to hop on a bit late, so you don’t need to sit through any slow, familiar prologue and ideally arrive right in time for the good stuff/memorable set piece ('It’s coming out of me like lava!!!'). But man, what a tradeoff that can be, depending on which basic cable channel you land on. Because if streaming and DVRing has taught us anything, it is that commercial breaks are the worst. And the only thing worse than basic cable’s frustratingly frequent, often ill-timed ad breaks is when they are for the same… dang… products, all… night… long."
