Umm, why did Game Show Network just cut to an infomercial halfway through the broadcast?

This has been the case the last two weeks for me as well and it's starting to piss me off. I'm contacting them about this right now, you should do the same.

"And for the next 13 weeks (the entire run of HSP 3) Vegas Night will be bringing you all the best that Vegas has to offer - in 30 and 60 second segments!"

Sounds like an infomercial to me but hell, I Tivo it and skip it anyways.

1. It's just goofy stuff in and around Vegas. We're not selling anything.

2. It's certainly not taking any time from High Stakes Poker - - it's slots come out of the commercial time.

But please, feel free to keep commenting on something you don't know about, it's amusing.

This is one of the definitions of an infomercial:

Noun

* S: (n) infomercial, informercial (a television commercial presented in the form of a short documentary)

Note that it doesn't imply that the commercial is selling something, only that it is a commercial done in a non standard format.
