I noticed that WGME-TV had paid programming on from 11:30 AM until 6:00 PM
today.

Infomercials don't bother me because I have cable and have plenty of
choices.  However, for those without cable, things are different.  From 1:00
PM until 2:00 PM today, 3 of the 6 commercial stations in the Portland
market were carrying paid programming.
