"represent about 15 million people and $485 billion in buying "

Wow! I bet that averages out to a butt load per fag.

MTV officials say they are not concerned about sexual content because there won't be any.

...just like MTV was supposed to be all music, all the time.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - Triple Bagger.

I hate the mass media.

Treasonous, slimey, prostituting themselves for profit at the expense of the minds and morals of everyone unfortunate enough to be reared watching or reading them. Siding with the enemies of all that is good.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

[DoughtyOne]

I get quite a kick out of these stories that talk about what a slice of buying power this an a few other groups have. I'd suggest that if those who were not a part of this group would tell the networks to go fly a kite, networks and cable, this noncense would stop overnight.

These folks seem to be saying, screw sensitivites out there, we're shoving this into your home like it or not. Well, there are a lot of advertisers out there who might not like what they could get if decent folks finally said, 'enough is enough!'

[broadsword]

Speaking of subsidized liberal losers; Whatever happened to Airhead America? Are they still going? Are they up to ten stations yet? Are they up to a hundred listeners yet?

[SpyGuy]

Let's see if conservatives have the guts, determination, and commitment-to-sacrifice needed to push this homosexual crap off the air. Boycott the advertisers and write them letters telling them why they've lost your family's business.

The homosexuals (a small but extremely dedicated and vocal group), were able to force Dr. Laura off the air. Can we conservatives (a much larger, but consistently less activist group), muster the same muscle and consumer power that they did?

The Left has (once again) thrown down the gauntlet. Do we have the courage to pick it up?

The ad-supported network aims to appeal to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender audiences who represent about 15 million people

Just about every gay activist that I've heard always claimed that gays are 10% of the population. That would make about 27 million. Now they're claiming 15 million. What happened to the rest?

[longtermmemmory]

what viacom will do is "package it" with other channels. Thus if system X wants TVland, or Cartoon Network, or some other popular channel, they will force system X to carry their product. This will also mean advertising exposure to viacom.

Homosexuals will want it included in a group because it will allow them to hide their disgusting lifestyle from their billing records.

It is a ultimately a question of advertisers. We really need to address the myth of economic ability of the homosexual. There is no way homosexuals exert that much viable economics. Especially with their high and early mortality and their high need for medical care as a result of sexual diseases.

Will those who advertise on a homosexual based channel loose business. Pier One uses a homosexual, big negative for my dollars.

The most objectionable aspect of this whole obscenity is that is being marketed as a BASIC channel. Any other SEX Behavior Channel (playboy, spice, etc) is a separate pay channel. This is not for basic, if someone wants this let them pay extra and have it live or die on its own subscriber demand levels. (probably because there is not enough homosexuals to support this and thus they are marketing the homosexual freak show to children ala mtv)

Will there be guards and warnings to keep this away from children? We are talking about a lifestyle of a sexually explicit nature? This is right up there with the new more activist FCC.

only a truly P-whipped man would allow a woman to make him pay extra for a homochannel in the home.

[NYCVirago]

Logo has already secured the rights to broadcast at least 100 movies from major studios, including gay-themed films like "Gods & Monsters" and "Serving in Silence" (a Glenn Close and Barbara Streisand project about a lesbian army officer) and gay-cult favorites like "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"

What about Mommie Dearest or Valley of the Dolls? You can't have a gay channel without those movies!

[Wilhelm Tell]

MTV will launch a gay channel next February on Time Warner cable in New York, Los Angeles and four other major markets.

Does this mean they will play a lot of show tunes?

[KeyWest]

They already have Bravo. This will just dilute the audience for Bravo. The actual audience, if every homosexual turned in would be closer to 6 million max, since the actual number is nearer to 1-2% of the population.

Why do there seem to be more? Vocal and lots of disposable income since they have no kids to support. Also in show business which amplifies their influence.

[Libloather]

"This is not a network about sex or sexually explicit content," Freston said.

Sure it is. It's in the title...

[DainBramage]

I wonder which MTV will be on top...

[Maigrey]

Camels... noses... tents.

Watch it go national, and forced into cable packages for all viewers. When it does, I will go satellite.

[JesseHousman]

It's all about America's filthy, perverted politics!

America has misplaced its moral compass and having it in our hands is what kept us ahead of the "pack" of slavering, communist/socialist wolves. The remedy, of course, is to cleanse our "central government" and get rid of all the dead weight: like Byrd-Brain, Specter, Daschole, Kennedy, The Twins From Maine, The two Rinos from Ohio....make no mistake, we're in trouble both from the DemocRATs and the RepublicRATs!

We need to rid our society of political correctness, pornography and the mysterious "love" affair the left (and our complicit politicians) are having with homosexuals that does nothing but further their demonic, sinful and disgusting lifestyle. They, of course, want to share this lifestyle with the rest of Americans by ruining the institution of marriage and family and they want to get their evil, clammy hands on the youngsters!

Americans need to stop moddy-coddling perversion; turn their backs on these satanists and relegate them to the sewers and dump-sites from which they spawned.

The little faggot with the earring and the make-up.
hay buddy, that's his own head.
The little faggot got his own jet airplane.
The little faggot he's a millionaire.

[William Terrell]

MTV officials say they are not concerned about sexual content because there won't be any.

If it's homosexual, it has to be about sex, else it would just be about close friends and buddies.

[mtbopfuyn]

The new network says is has more than 40 concepts in development with sister networks MTV, VH1, TV Land, CMT, Comedy Central, Showtime and even CBS News.

Andy Rooney and Dan Rather are gay?

[AD from SpringBay]

Time to ask the cable providers for a menu system whereby subscribers get to pick the stations they pay for. The technology is there - the demand is there - may the market speak and let some of this crap programming be cut and left in the dust where it belongs.

[hnorris]

Oh, for farkin' pete's sake! Can't they spare us?
