More syndication BS

As if cutting scenes wasn't bad enough, now before commercial breaks character's lines are being cut off mid-sentence.

Anyone else experiencing this or is this a quirk of my region?

Now?

Sometimes on the Houston channel they get cut off by about half a second . A little annoying but just a technical error by the station.

Oh no - the syndicators have gotten to you, too... :)

What's your region? I've found that individual stations that are used to fading things out before breaks don't realize that shows like The Simpsons have lines right up to those breaks - WTXF in Philadelphia is notorious for cutting things off, like "we should really put that cactus in the corner" (AABF09), "I mean, S-M-A-R-T" (1F02)...etc...I can't think of any more right off the top of my head, but I've seen it too often... On the other hand, WUAB in Cleveland does no audio fading, and those lines/music stings are always fully intact...the only thing they mess up is cutting off the Gracie or Fox logo once in a while. So...I know for a fact that the syndicated tapes aren't to blame; contact your station (I wish you better luck than with WTXF, by which I mean any at all) and see what can be done.

KFOX in El Paso very often cuts out the first half of the last act, coming into the episode in the middle of a sentence.

It goes beyond the syndication thing...

Fox 59 does that all the time, especially during Bart Star, Ralph's "You're going to heaven"
