At 3 AM ET, I discovered that i is rerunning "Dirty Rotten Cheater." So if you're a fan, you might want to check it out quickly. I don't know if they're running it again later.
I don't know about the individual stations, but the i national feed has rid itself of many hours of infomercials, only to replace them with el-cheapo black-and-white movies, el-cheapo black-and-white sitcoms like "My Little Margie" on the lowest quality prints possible, and PAX original reruns. Not even their online schedule reflects this change.

Looks like I'll do a manual recording tonight, and hope for the best.
EDIT: looks like the guide has been updated for my affiliate, and it's coming on at 11 AM. I'll be gone then, so I'm recording that timeframe instead of the overnight one.
EDIT 2: Oops, can't read the guide. Apparently, it's on at 11 AM... on PAX. Yes, it still exists... on channel 55.2 in my metro area. ( Screenshot (http://\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/whammypower788/isched.gif\") )

I'm sure this has been cleared up somewhere before, but why does the primetime programming have only the i bug, while this "new" programming has both the PAX and i bugs?
-
Maybe they're too cheap to remove the Pax bug from the previous airings? :-)

No "Worship" overnight anymore? That was Pax's wee small hours revenue generator from the beginning.
(Well, turning to www.pax.tv (or www.ionline.tv), this week shows "Paid Programming" in the overnight hours, but next week shows things like "Knife Show" or "Coin Show." Is Shop-at-Home buying time on i?

That, possibly, and Worship is now a subchannel unto itself.

They've had infomercials overnight for at least a few mos now, perhaps concurrent w/the name change...being up @ 4:30 for my radio job, there's been a few occasions when I trek down to the basement to do some dubbing before I leave and, while setting up, briefly catch a glimpse of Kevin "Natural Cures" Trudeau or someone else trying to push their product.

I always saw "Worship" and "Public Affairs" listed for the national feed and it's always been regular infomercials instead. Another thing that confused me (but then I moved on)...
And it's not Shop at Home buying time, it's some low-budget "Cutlery Channel" buying time, I believe.
By the way, there's an old black-and-white movie on right now...

I've been getting i on Dish Network the last few weeks, and outside of prime time I've seen nothing but informercials.

I must be getting some magical Pax/i hybrid with "Ozzie and Harriet" and "Beverly Hillbillies" reruns.

Here's how it works. If you have an actual I/Pax affiliate... a local station in your area that carries I/Pax programming, you'll more than likely get the overnight infomercials and shop at home stuff. If you get I/Pax as a cable channel you're getting the national/satellite version of I/Pax. You can also get the national/satellite version if your I/Pax affiliate is multicasting on their digital broadcast signal (more than one station on a channel alottment). This version is airing such programming as Ozzie and Harriet, I Married Joan, and old public domain movies, as well as reruns of such originals as Dirty Rotten Cheater and Beat the Clock.

The home shopping is OK by me; I just surf by it in fear that I'm confronted by Don West yelling "GEM MINT TEN!" at the top of his lungs at 3 in the morning.

DRC reruns have been on Pax/i as much as six times a weekend for over a year now.
