"Under the new model there will be no break between shows, a strategy know as the "hot switch" in the industry. It looks something like this:"
Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

PBS, Now With Commercial Breaks
The Atlantic Wire wrote PBS, Now With Commercial Breaks. "PBS executives announced recently that their famously uninterrupted programming would soon be interrupted with commercials just like all the other TV stations. "

PBS crams their commercials into two week long segments every few months. It's called fundraising. Also the current end of the show sponsors look just like commercials. Now they are going to interrupt their programming with commercials like regular TV.
Making themselves just like some other cable channel is a bad idea. Good luck PBS.
