(s)Thas because there are more homosexuals than golfers.(/s)

This is going to be advertiser supported. Anyone who buys or uses those advertisers will have their customers humiliated with "i did not know you are a homosexual".

Mark my words, it'll flop and then become part of Basic Cable... just like BET so nearly everyone with cable will be forced to subsidize it.

We need to draw a line, homosexual based programing should be required to be encoded with an "H" warning.

reasonable.

The V chip would then be able to block those shows as any others with a V for violence, N for Nudity, SC for sexual content.

Actally ALL shows with homosexuals should have the SC for sexual content in addition to an H for homosexual content.

They will tap into NEA tax grants.

Pehaps this can be used to renew the push for ala cart channel selection.

If ALL providers have this sex fetish perversion channel on BASIC there is no consumer choice.

You all may block it or not watch it but you are still paying them. These channels receive a portion of the subscription monies. So when you buy your cable package they are getting some of your money. Each channel needs to be pro-rated so that we only pay for the channels we want but they won't do it that way because then scumsuckers like MTV wouldn't make enough money to stay on the air. Perhaps if enough people complain and disconnect their cable/satellite things could change.

We cancelled our cable a year ago when Comcast hiked the monthly rates over $50.00 (after taxes are thrown in).

We get broadband through our cable line which also lets us use Vonage for phone service which saves us about $50/mo. on our phone bill. That and EWTN make it worth it. Plus we enjoy Fox, TCM, AMC, HGTV, some cartoons, etc. But you have to be very careful about what gets through.

Yes. Sadly, he looks like a shell of his former self, although his mind is still there. My favorites are Fr. Corapi, Fr. Rutler, Mother Angelica, Bishop Sheen and the Chesterton series.

One of the most gratifying and consoling things to me as a parent is the fact that my 6 and 9 year old girls actually look forward to and demand that I turn on EWTN on Saturday mornings when EWTN airs childrens' programming.

Yes, children really have spiritual lives, God bless 'em.

MTV "inc" will make the providers carry it because in order to get all the MTV channels (VH1, Nickelodeon, etc) you will be required to buy the homo-channel.

Don't be surprised if they put it smack in the middle of the children's channels.
