Yeah, it’s something cable did back in the day, especially MTV, Comedy Central, and TBS.
When everyone else changed at X:00 or X:30, some channels would five minutes late. So if you watched till the end, you missed the beginning of everything else starting on another channel.
It was an anti-consumer practice but that the younglings don’t know about these days.
This dude is complaining about mtv doing it, because when he switched to watch Beavis and Butthead, he was always five minutes early and stuck watching credits and commercials from the last show
