Impatient TV viewers turn to BitTorrent

Some Australians are turning to file-sharing networks for new episodes of their favorite American television shows.

According to a new report, the popularity in Australia of one peer-to-peer application--BitTorrent--is driven in part by local television networks that have adopted a strategy of being slow to air current episodes of popular TV shows.

... driven in part by local television networks that have adopted a strategy of being slow ...

Add moronic programming schedule to the list. After enduring 3 weeks of Scrubs on Channel 7 with the following schedule (rough estimate, it is a while back):

Week 1:
Tue 10:30PM
Wed 11PM
Thu 10:55PM

Week 2:
Tue: 11PM
Thu: 11:25PM

Week 3:
Thu: 11PM

I gave up ... Fortunately Channel BT came to the rescue.
