What would a "Blue State Channel" broadcast? Dan Rather reruns? Lifetime anti-male movies?

AS this link - re. a new "horror" cable channel - shows, there always seems to be a new cable channel springing up, for some niche market or other. Well, how about a BLUE STATE CHANNEL?

What could they put on? No, not just softcore porn - that gets boring after 10 hours a day. How about a weekly half-hour show for intellectuals, "God is still dead," with different professors giving reasons why believers are stupid? For efficiency sake, they could also merge with the Lifetime Channel, so you'd have one go-to place for all the man-bad-woman-good TV movies ever made. Any other ideas?

All PBS, all the time.

Some PBS shows are good quality non-political shows.

Do know they would end their broadcast day by playing "The Internationale".

Too Funny!!!

Here at home, we call Lifetime "The Man Hater Channel" and Oxygen "The Slut and Whore Channel"

I wouldn't think Blue staters would bother to watch TV...It just might put them in touch with reality...I thought they had better things to do like reading "Thoreau" while listening to NPR.

Yes, America is ALWAYS wrong and cruel to ALL OTHER nations. That could be a weekly series on Channel F-911.

Special broadcasts might include titles such as: " Why It Is Always Bush's Fault."

"Why Americans Don't Realize That God Is Science."

"Ask Me About My Oppressive, White, Male Boss."

"Why the French Love Jerry Lewis and Americans Hate Him."

"Better Is Blue Than Red."

"I'd Rather Be Blue and Not Thinking of You."

"Why Al Sharpton Makes Sense."

Lifetime is technically the Man-Bad-Woman-Dumb-As-A-Rock Channel. I've never gotten that. If you're going to bash men anyway, why not go the extra mile to have female characters with common sense?

No, not just softcore porn

For that, just tune to UPN, WB or FOX.

Most of them demonstrate what is completely the truth about Liberalism, political or not.

Personally, I don't hate Jerry Lewis, I just think that schtick of his and that fraud of a telethon of his is stupid.

My satellite package comes with a station called FSTV-free speech tv. The political commentary is funnier that Monty Python but the hate would make Saddam Hussein blush.

Hell, if they broadcast soft porn ten hours a day, I'd watch it.

"What would a blue state channel broadcast?"

They'd rerun PBS, MSNBC and Dan Rather.
