This isn't a new thing; tv stations often put other things on without bothering to notify anyone about it.
One of the worst offenders on my cable system is SpikeTV. It is only on from 6AM to 2AM on my system, and in the interim my cable puts in badly spliced infomercials. If ever I'm recording Highlander, it tends to cut the last 4 minutes or so from the episode. Of course, my channel guide has the listings for SpikeTV, and not the crap-o-mercials on for those four hours.
