This is a First (on Yellowstone)!

[KAB]

I started to watch last night's Yellowstone on Paramount NETWORK (not P+) and got the option for AutoHop. Well, thinking must be a mistake, I chose it, and sure enough, It hopped through all the commercials. I don't believe this has ever happened before on a cable channel, at least not that i'm aware of.

Because it was being shown 2 hours later on CBS...
FWIW, I counted at least 7 other Viacom networks it was also being shown on simultaneously w/Paramount.

But CBS is delayed one week.

BUT the skip (codes) were NOT on CBS last night, they were on the cable channels.

I suspect auto-hop works similarly the way Tivo commercial skip does - the skip codes apply to each specific show, & NOT the network(s) they appear on. So because there is NO such restrictions on the cable networks, that's the reason auto-hop appeared as the OP noted.
It's also the same reason (at least on Tivo) when you DVR a network show, that's being re-run on a cable channel even year's later (reruns of Shark Tank on CNBC come to mind) the skip codes STILL appear after the recording completes.

Since my understanding is that this "return episode premier" is the ONLY one that will be on CBS, there will be NO more auto-hop on future (Paramount) showings...

So, when they showed it on CBS, did they bleep out all the F Bombs and the sex scene? Or, is that allowed now on network TV?

You do realize that CBS is a division of Paramount.

I think we all do. Like when CBS+ became Paramount+.

Maybe they added the same thing that is on CBS local channels for the skipping intentionally or by accident...
