Time is money, and nobody know it more than cable networks. A new report says they are actually speeding up programs to fit in more advertising.

Facing stiff competition from the likes of Netflix, networks like TNT and TBS are speeding up syndicated programming, catalog movie titles, and other programming, in some cases compressing 25 minute sitcom episodes into 22 minutes, buying three more minutes of ads.

"Seinfeld," "Friends," "Wizard of Oz" and "King Kong" were all reportedly affected, Engadget said. In some cases, the programs were sped up by as much as 7 percent. Given both networks' reliance on syndicated programming to out their schedule, surely more programs are affected.
