The Resume

Why Showtime (TV Network) might be annoying:

    They are a pay cable channel.
    It gave us the show L Word.
    In 1979, Viacom sold 50% of Showtime to TelePrompTer. Three years later in 1982, Westinghouse, who had acquired TelePrompTer the previous year, sold its share of Showtime back to Viacom.
    One of their first logos was a ripoff of Brazil's TV Globo logo.
    Like rival HBO, they prosecute anyone who tries to intercept their signal without paying.

    They released the Academy Award winning live action short film '12:01 PM.'
    They are one of the first cable networks to broadcast in high definition and Dolby Digital Sound.
    They launched SVOD, an on demand service allowing viewers to watch their programs when they want.
