Sep 12, 2006 - DETROIT (AP) _ Bridges TV, a 24-hour English-language Muslim television channel, has gained hundreds of thousands of new potential viewers after Comcast Corp. added the channel to its basic digital package in Michigan, the two companies announced Tuesday.
Comcast, the nation's largest cable operator, previously offered Bridges on a subscription basis. As of Monday, it is automatically available to all digital subscribers in the state.
Comcast has about 1.4 million customers in Michigan. Most of those customers are in southeastern Michigan, the home of one of the largest Arab American communities in the country, company spokesman Jerome Espy said.
With the Comcast announcement, the potential audience for Buffalo, N.Y.-based Bridges is approaching 2 million, said Mo Hassan, the channel's founder and chief executive.
Bridges features lifestyle and cultural programming, as well as news and interfaith dialogue.
The channel is carried by a handful of cable providers as part of their basic packages. Its aim is to promote understanding of Muslims and Islam by non-Muslims.
``We're trying to create a dialogue between 300 million Americans and 1 billion Muslims worldwide," Hassan said.
Do they show Ms. Burkha USA?
What would their broadcast schedule look like?
If that dialogue includes plans to make the USA like Europe and Southeast Asua, we don't want one.
I learned all I need to know about Islam & Muslims on 9/11.
Home shopping, Home improvement, Fashion, Ox, 3 sports, 2 Spanish and on and on. One third of my cable channels are crap. And now this?
I bet they just blow their competition to pices.......
Interesting. A nice way to slide it in there, there are 3+ times as many Muslims as there are Americans, so we need to get to know them? I don't know how many of those 1 billion Muslims live in America, or Michigan alone, but I wonder how many of them think of themselves as Americans?
Suppose I don't want to have dialogue with your buddies.
who engage in these activities.
We allow this to grow at our peril.
Sounds like we have a Trojan Horse among us.
Also, I learned as more about Islam on 9/11 than I care to know.
So when are Arab countries going to start offering programming to promote understanding of Christianity and Judaism by Muslims? Answer: Never going to happen.
I notice that none of their programming has any good sects!
I went to Ohio this summer and stayed at a hotel in Cleveland. Their cable carried at least three Arab channels and a couple of others I could not positively identify. There were more mid-eastern type channels than Spanish channels.
Since I live in the South, I found this extremely hard to believe. People would be rioting down here if they saw all that. I really started to wonder what is going on up north.
