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

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.

"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!!

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.

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.

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

Isn't that what MTV became, around 1990?

They already have a mostly gay channel. It's called MTV.

Although I disagree with the FCC part. I simply use the clicker and if I'm really mad, use letters to advertisers. Market should decide.

I have some classic suggestions for the LOGO fall lineup:

Ball in the Family
My Three Dads
I Love Louie
Buffy the Fempire Layer
Leave It for Beaver
The Sopranus
Third Rock from my Bun
Queen Acres
When Harry Met Sammy
...and of course, Sex in the City

Be called all kinds of insensitive adjectives
