TVB wants to show The Oscars live, but the rules say that TVB Pearl has to show educational programs from 12 noon, just as the big awards are being handed out on in Los Angeles.
No-one at TVB can be bothered to re-edit the show or place the commercials in the break, so you get a non-break, followed by a summary (that you don't need), followed one or two minutes later by a TVB commercial break in an inappropriate place.
Pearl has its “MI 930” slot, so-called in spite of the fact that the programmes never actually start at 9.30 (it can be anything from 9.35 to 9.45), and one bugbear for me is that the timeslot for ‘The Apprentice’ is constantly changing.
