paid programming

A show late at night or early in the morning that is on about 1,000,000 channels to cheap to buy late programming showing products costing from $2,000 to <Insert Bill Gates Networth here> that YOUR TAXES put on.

<On Tv>
And you can buy the "Busted Garden Tool" for only 10 payments of 299.99! Call in the next 10 minutes and receive a FREE broken shovel!

paid programming

Television programing that consists of companies promoting their products. Usually shown early morning/late at night/whenever you are desperate for something to watch.

Usually the products advertised are worthless pieces of crap being sold for 'the low, low price of 12 payments of 43.32!!'.

Actually good programming. (When your wasted)

paid programming

Euphemism for the mindless infomercials or infotainment that you see on TV in the wee hours of the morning on many cable channels. Often consists of BS about products you wouldn't even THINK of buying.

If you wake up at 6 AM and you want to watch some good film on cable TV, forget it: you'll only see that damn paid programming.

paid programming

when a politician makes a speech on television---it's paid programming, and you paid for it.

The State of The Union speech is a perfect example of paid programming.

Paid Programming

Slots for infomercials and sales for anything ranging from clothing, jewelry, and furniture.

After 1 AM, Girls Gone Wild.

Jimmy's parents thought he was staying up late to watch Gargoyles, but his imagination and Paid Programming were what really kept him up at night.
