Has anyone else noted TV Guide bias toward films with a distinctly Christian message?

I doubt it, they list pretty much everything. Considering the scope of what they list, by all the markets they list for and the frequency of publication, I would venture to bet most of what they publish is auto generated from databases supplied by the networks.

My bet is it is either a simple mistake or you may have a different program listing for Starz in your market versus others.

Ya know what Billy the Kid, Atilla the Hun, and Winnie the Pooh have in common?

They all have the same middle name.

I wonder if you tried to test your assumption.

I just typed the names of several Christian movies into the tvguideonline search box, and they were all there.

The ten commandments - check
Greatest story ever told - check
passion of the christ - check
chronicles of narnia - check

So, no, I can’t say I’ve noticed any type of anti-Christian bias at all in TV guide.

I don’t know why your movie didn’t show up in the search, but I bet the reason “Sex And The City: The Movie” and “The Golden Compass” showed up at the top is because they paid money to come up high in search results. The only thing they really have in common with your movie is that the word “the” is in the title. Try doing a search using a random string of words that include “the,” but isn’t the name of an actual movie (or close to being a real name). I bet those two movies will pop up at or near the top every time.
