They don't trim it for the UK, Impact is 2 hours, the issue was when they trimmed the special 3 hour one, that was a one off like, still bad.
Bravo is decent enough, it's free to Sky viewers nature helps the ratings and despite your loathing for the channel, it's promoted as a blokes channel, much like Dave, its perfect for the target audience, hence the good ratings, the biggest issue is the channel they have the PPVs on, I mean I know of its existence due to MMA, but on the grand scale of things its one of the most minor, non-existent channels going, most people who have it don't know they have it.
