One simple answer, its cheap TV, there isn't the money from advertisers to fill the schedule with high quality programming 24/7. Think of the big advertisers that have gone. If you want quality TV programmes then the funding has to come from elsewhere, the cash cow of advertisers has had its day, they are too thinly spread over multiple channels
