Annoying overlays on Movie channels RCM, Action, Etc...

Has anyone tried watching a movie on these channels like RDS and Action Hollywood? The have their giant logo and the title of the film plastered on the screen through the whole film and it makes watching them near impossible. At first I thought the cable box was overlaying the info...but nope. I'd post a pic if I could.  Who do we write to complain about this?  The channels would be worth watching if you could get past that. In this day and age we don't need that info on the screen.  Also the Scream TV channel seem to be incapable of showing a film in a proper aspect ratio... Things are invariably stretched too long or zoomed in and stretched upwards. It's a shame because they have some great obscure horror films.  Again... It makes watching these channels unwatchable.  Why do they do this? Sorry... It's so annoying.

    That is the choice of the broadcasters. Only way to complain is to reach out to each broadcaster / channel individually.

      Well if course it's the channels that are doing it...  but googling these channels comes up with very little information about the parent broadcaster.
