Re: They will get what they want
said by mr4july  :What maks these "televangelist's" think that people watch these channels just because they are there...... They don't...it's all for show actually. It wouldn't be impressive to say "We're watched by 5 loyal fans!", but rather, "we're televised to every cable consumer out there!" If anything modern-day broadcasting has shown, is that if you put enough crap out there...eventually, someone's gonna watch some of it. |

said by Zoly :I'm very surprised! In such religious country as USA televangelists are worried??? Just relax, a Bible belt will pay as much as needed to keep those channels alive. Honestly, if these folks are so worried about their message not being spread to the "unchurched" via a-la-carte cable...then why don't they offer their channel services up for free? Sure, they won't turn as much (or any) profit...but if spreading the message is the ultimate concern, surely running the channel non-profit wouldn't be a big concern, right?  |

said by Zoly :What really needs to be done is adding a new TV rating like REL (religion) so customers can block it on their cable or whatever boxes. And then everyone will be happy. That is a good idea, then the other rating's we can have are SPO (sports) (OUT)outdoors for hunting,fishing and motorsports.FOX for FOX news,where the real news gets reported.
Then we can have HWT (hollywood trash) filter/block for the rest of the cable garbage line up.This way all HWT can be blocked.Better yet make cable ala-carte.This way one does not have to pay for all that gutter grade HWT.And then everyone will be happy.

Or, like if you want to watch sport channels or Encore channels, you have to pay extra 5 dollars a month. I think that Cable companies shall put all religious channels in one package and sell them in one Inspirational package for let's say 1$ a month and in that case I will be sure that not even 1 cent of my money goes toward those guys. And I will be happy. |
