|  They would have to leave off all the major networks
What channels would be on the family tier? Shopping channels? Halmark? maybe Discovery Channel? (pretty violent sometime) CNN? (Way to violent and too real) I know the would have to leave off ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX, that is also the local networks. Who wants that?
There should be a public campain that teaches people how to change the channel or use the power switch to turn off the TV if there is something they are afraid of on. |

But if they want the history channel, they have to pay for all the other stuff? Hmmm.... I wonder if I can put that into play at the gas pump. 20 gallon purchases only. Your tank is full at 10 gallons? Oh well, you just helped support someone else who wanted 19 galleons (or my pocket book).

I do not have pay TV. I do not watch TV. If I could get what I want at a decent price, then I might consider it.

Cable TV runs spots all the time, encouraging parents to learn what their kids are watching and fgure out how to use the blocking controls.
The "vocal minority" behind this don't want *you*, a thinking adult, to have violent or sexual programming available to choose. |

Family Friendly Tiers are a start but that STILL forces you to pay for channels you dont want in that package.

No one is forcing anyone to get this.

The funny thing is that the family tiers *can't* leave off locals even if they wanted to because of FCC must-carry rules and retransmission consent agreements with locals.

It would hurt me, so keep it off my screen. Thanks.
Thing is while we have the complete freedom of religion there are many people who attempt to force it onto the general public on every corner and with every situation. It gets old.
disney, nick, ae are clearly family oriented. I wonder about CN because of adult swim and the like... |

Those paying for the family only tier should get only these channels. Then, they would literally be paying for them. Something a bulk of the cable subscribers hate doing is paying for channels they don't like.
As for me, I will skip those channels. Thanks.

His point stands. The people behind this "vocal minority", if they got their way, would have all violent or sexual programming taken off the air for everyone.

Well, maybe give them the home shopping network....maybe. Some of the things they sell on that channel lead to sin.
