MTV Networks revs up gay-themed Outlet
NEW YORK (Variety) --- MTV Networks, buoyed by positive talks with top cable operators, has begun stepping up the planning for Outlet, a 24-hour network aimed at gays and lesbians.
In development for more than two years, Outlet failed to launch in 2002 because MTV had brought in sister network Showtime to market it as a pay channel.
When that strategy didn't pass muster with cable operators, Showtime bowed out of the picture and MTV repositioned Outlet as an ad-supported, digital, basic cable network.
But with that repositioning, MTV has had to change its programming blueprint to lifestyle shows rather than hard-edged series and movies that push the boundaries of content. Outlet will likely become a part of MTV's the Suite lineup (consisting of MTV, VH1 and Nickelodeon).

We used to watch MTV but the programing became so raunchy it was embarrasing to watch.

The M in MTV no longer stands for music.

Yet another reason I'm happy we don't get cable.
Why pay to have poison pumped into your living room?

To: Steely Tom
Exactly, Steely.
I only get basic "cheap bastard" cable, to facilitate cable internet. (it's more expensive to get JUST internet than it is to get basic cable and internet)
Anyway, I've wanted to upgrade the service to get FNC, but I can't bring myself to do it because I know that a portion of the monthly bill will go to MTV.

The time has come to DEMAND a la carte cable programming. I don't want to pay for this crap - "packaged" or not.

I can't understand all of the programming geared around the homosexual lifestyle. It is as if they are trying to sell this lifestyle to the rest of us. It is a lifestyle constantly pushed on all channels (except espn) today. It is in movies, on sitcoms, special stand up presentations, etc. It is all over the place.
Yet, the homosexual population is some extremely low number (2% guess, not accurate). It is clear that they want that number to grow!

It is pushed by ESPN too. Did you see the show Playmakers? Some of the episodes dealt with a homosexual player on the football team hiding his sexual preferences.
To: VA_Gentleman
I forgot about that! You got me! How about exclusion of FNC?

Hollywood, and in particular Viacom, owners of MTV, etc is run by the Lezbian-Gay Mafia.
Pushing down your throat is exactly what they want.
It has been the great crusade of the left, and its causes, to gain control of the people by brain washing them through the Mass Media

Outlet will likely become a part of MTV's the Suite lineup (consisting of MTV, VH1 and Nickelodeon). So if parents want to get nickelodeon for their children they'll have to buy it as part of a package containing a fairy porno channel?

Its the only way of self-preservation for them since they for the most part do not procreate offspring of their own to corrupt. Darwinian theories, so adamantly embraced by the left in everything else, tell us that which is not given to procreation and thus self preservation tends not to continue. Thus the homosexual lifestyle would die out in a few generations if they did not recruit for it among the unsuspecting normal people. It's disgusting and now, evidently, if a parent wants to get Nickelodeon for the kids he has to buy a package with the homo channel on it. Disgusting.

"...Pushing down your throat is exactly what they want..."
Pushing what down our throats? I do hope that it doesn't come to a literal meaning. This ca-ca has GOT TO STOP!!!!!
Back in the 80's, there were movements here about ending apartied (sp) in South Africa. How about ending the apartied here. As was mentioned in this thread, the homosexual population in this country is between (an estimate) 2 and 8%. Why does the remaining 92% have to be forced into accepting this aborant lifestyle? Stop it before it gets any worse.

I would imagine that the satellite companies would carry this channel as well.

While some of this may be "lifestyle indoctrination," a lot of what's going on here is being done for the purpose of targeted advertising. Homosexuals (men, in particular) make - and spend - a lot of money and, therefore, constitute a highly coveted target audience for advertisers. A "Gay Channel" will carry some of the highest ad rates found on cable. You can bank on it.
Yet another reason I don't watch television.

This channel will not last very long. Two or three years at best. Financially it just won't work.
