According to scifi.com's schedule for this Friday, they have cut the first four hours away from the Firefly marathon! So now, it won't start until 11pm. See it here for yourself:

Everybody,
DO NOT send sourly worded letters to SciFi, because NBC/Universal, who owns SciFi, may begin to change their minds about thinking of making a sequel to Serenity. With the WGA strike right now, this is a very delicate time and rash decisions can be made as an effect of this kind of behavior.
This doesn't mean that you can't send letters that state how disappointed you are. Look to what FallowMal and Rallem have written below if you need examples.
Thanks,
PhyreLight

Word about this is spreading quickly. Very sad.
Especially so after they advertised it and featured it on the front page of their web site. I wrote them a thank you note the other day, and I'm not sorry I did that.
But I'm going to write them Friday afternoon and tell them how disappointed I am. I'm not going to be sour, just let them know politely how very sad I am that they changed their schedule.
I'm going to remind them that as a Browncoat I'm supportive of them and their genre shows and that having me as a loyal viewer is important.
I don't know that it'll do any good and I'm going to be as respectful of them as I can be... no flaming, but it at least lets me express my sadness at what they've done.

I'll be sending them an email about this, but I doubt if I can be very diplomatic about it.

Below is a copy of the letter I just sent the Sci Fi Channel, so if anyone here does watch the series please let me know who the advertisers are so I can follow through with my threat.
To whom it may concern:
I am very disappointed at your inability to follow through with your schedule as you advertised for this Friday’s Firefly Marathon, and while I was planning on staying home to watch your series, now I will not. Unfortunately the place I work at is severely under-manned and my position is one of importance so it has to be filled at all times and this Friday is going to be the only evening I will have off for the last two weeks and for the next two weeks after that. I was really looking forward to having things go my way for once, but now that you’ve shortened your marathon I will skip it in its entirety and find something else to do with my precious free time. I will ask my friends at Fireflyfans.net to list your Marathon’s advertisers so I can contact them during my next scheduled work marathon and let them know why I missed your series and why I won’t be purchasing their products.

I had to write in, to let them know I'd rather watch my DVDs at 8pm, than wait till eleven to see only four hours. Plus I had to mention the rather low quality of SEVERAL of their shows (I was specific to them, I won't be here, as I know quite a few people actually like these shows, although I cannot fathom why, as they're simply awful, in my own opinion). I ended with a plea for more GOOD shows like BSG and Eureka.
