[Dreamboat] Atlantic City taping of Decades Live....

[magicman76 at aol.com]

Oh yeah... I knew what you meant, Francie.  It's just that I was pleasantly surprised that Cyndi's Lauper's 90 minute episode of Decades Rock had very few commercial interruptions.  And, instead of being 3 or 4 minutes, some of the commercial breaks were only like 1 minute long.  They showed a very good portion of the concert.  Cyndi played for a few hours (just like Heart) and they only ended up cutting out about 3 songs.  That is great news that the show will run on the regular VH1 channel... although that may mean longer commercial breaks than VH1 Classic.  We'll see in May :-)

Rich, 
That's the basic number of minutes for TV programming with spots in an hour.  I haven't see this program but do they break for commericals? If they do, the least amount of spots is 10 minutes per hour. The most is usually 15 to 16 minutes. 
 
I sorry to confuse anyone but I'm just in mode from my Media Classes. A half hour program is 30 minutes minus commericals = 22 minutes. I hope you see what I mean Rich. 
 
I'm now hearing the AC show will be 90 minutes, minus time for commericals if they run commericals. Also, the Heart Camp says it will also run on VH1 as well as VH1 Classics. That makes me a happy camper since I don't have digital cable.
