So guess who missed the series premiere of The Americans? Yep. Me. And forgetting about it, I didn't even record it. Now with most other networks, all I have to do is wait for midnight, or a bit later and the show I might have missed will become available on my Comcast 'On Demand.' But not FX programming. Every single show they redistribute to On Demand, they enforce a 7-day delay. So unless they have an encore presentation, I have to wait until next week to catch the FX series. Much like any other FX series.
I had checked with Comcast and they made note that it is not their decision to delay the On Demand broadcast, but up to the various distributors.
The only reason that I can take a guess as why FX does this is so that it forces their live+7 viewing ratings to be funneled through their broadcast and DVR ratings. Or it could be some competitive things between FX and Comcast. Who knows. All I know is that I hate this 7-day delay.
Urg., Arg!
