Does anyone know what time on thursday this started and what time on Sunday it will end???

Pat I’m not sure what time it started. They seem to turn it on and off whenever the decide to “throw the switch”. They usually will have it on at least until midnight Sunday night and if you’re lucky they may not do it until Monday morning.

Even though HBO and MAX was free this weekend, there was nothing to watch but same ole movies like Mrs. Doubtfire and Ferris Buller’s Day Off. DirecTV is great service but HBO is pittiful!!!
