They just keep on shoving it down our throats. It's time for the FCC to allow us to chose which channels we want to pay for instead of forcing us to pay for this thru our cable/sattelite bills

[ServesURight]

That would be great if we can pick and choose our cable/satellite channels. But it's better to let the free market do it instead of whining to the FCC.

"Go Low with LOGO!"

[noscreenname]

"LOGO is all about identity: the individual and collective identities present in the gay and lesbian community that are amazingly diverse, but are joined by similar points of view and sensibilities," said Judy McGrath, president of the MTV Networks Music and Comedy Group. "MTV Networks has a great history of connecting deeply with its audiences and it's our great hope that gay and lesbian audiences will connect with LOGO like viewers connect with our other strong brands."

Wrong! It's about that $435 BILLION in spending power and the advertising dollars for MTV!!

Why wouldn't Free Market concepts work with my suggestinon. I can think of about 15 channels I would keep and the rest of 100 could go down the toliet as far as I am concerened.

I'd keep
Fox News
CSPAN
ESPN
FOX SPORTS
Home & Garden
Food Network
Travel
Discovery
TLC
A&E
History Channel
Golf Channel
NFL Network (if I ever get it)
Weather Channel (for the weather gals)

[NativeNewYorker]

Market researchers estimate the gay and lesbian population at 15 million adults, with a projected buying power of $485 billion

That's ~$32,000 each...a full 4% of GDP. Sure.

What do you want to bet that the cable companies will add this travesty to basic cable and drop a station people like and watch.

[JoJo Gunn]

That's exactly what it stands for!

How low can you go?

I hope the name is as soundly ridiculed as Err America.

[Ben Ficklin]

Will they be showing old Liberace reruns? Rock Hudson movies?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Or at least bump a popular channel and assign the gay thing it's number because it "fits better there".

[L.N. Smithee]

The new channel will be advertiser-supported, targeting primarily gays and lesbians, 25-49, and will provide a mix of original and acquired programming that is authentic, smart, inclusive and open-minded.

Open-minded? I doubt it. Open-legged? Definitely. Open-mouthed? Ditto.

Open-sored? No, that's the target audience.

[JoJo Gunn]

A "how low can you go" bump.

[L.N. Smithee]

They should call it GOLO, as in, "How could you go so low?"
