Religious groups, including the Traditional Values Coalition, denounced the idea as amounting to "moral anarchy" and promised to organize a boycott of companies that advertise on the channel.

Exactly what is their problem? No one is going to be forced to watch the channel. I skip over all the Jesus channels on the cable dial without having to issue a press release about it or hyperventilate over boycotting the sponsors (if any). Why get upset over a channel that will be as low rated as most cable channels?

You pay cable to have Jesus channels or home shopping channels? Funny, I thought that those channels pay for either a low-power signal (requiring them to be carried in the local market) or pay cable directly to be there.

Meanwhile Viacom most certainly will want a share of the cable bill for Logo.
