That's probably because all US Network shows (ABC, Fox etc.) are timed to run for a total of about 43 minutes.
US Cable shows (HBO, Showtime etc.) can run almost up to the full hour.
Given that UK TV starts all 'hour long' shows on the top of the hour, what choice do Sky or any other UK broadcaster have? And it's the add revenue that funds the show's purchase!
