I have to say, I don't even notice promos anymore. I'll have to pay attention next time I have the TV on. I have DVR, so just about everything I watch has been pre-taped and I just skip over ads and commercials.
My husband left this morning for an overnight camping/canoing trip with some visiting family members so I have full control of the tv and the remote control until tomorrow night. He actually said to me this morning as he was saying goodbye, "Have fun with your Food Network and Lifetime marathon." He knows me too well
