CABLE NETWORKS TO OFFER HOMOSEXUAL PROGRAMS 24/7
By AFA Journal ^ | By AFA Journal

Three major cable providers are buying into the launch of two new homosexual cable networks that will air homosexual programming around the clock for the first time in U.S. television history.

In April, Comcast and Cox Communications agreed to offer the homosexual network "Here," put out by Regent Entertainment through their video-on-demand offerings. Viacom will offer its own advertiser-supported homosexual network, "LOGO," as a basic cable channel starting on June 30.

"I don't think most parents want their children flipping channels on their way to the Cartoon Network and running across a scene of two men kissing in bed on the LOGO network," said American Family Association president Tim Wildmon. "Most of us have enough to explain to our children nowadays."

Wildmon also sees potential for late-night programming on the networks to turn pornographic in nature. "The very nature of homosexuality is based on eroticism and infatuation with sex," Wildmon said. "This programming will be targeted to a group of people who define themselves by their sexual behavior, and one can expect the gay networks to follow the trend in offensive late-night programming such as we saw with NYPD Blue, only in a more deviant homosexual context.

"The gay and lesbian networks are geared toward mainstream homosexuals who view sexuality and define pornography very differently from the majority of mainstream Americans."

The New York Times reported that Viacom's LOGO network already has access to 10 million homes and is supported in advertising by Orbitz, Subaru and Paramount Pictures.

"We will hold accountable companies who sponsor this type of offensive heavy-duty homosexual content," Wildmon said. "This type of programming invading cable reinforces the need for a la carte choices instead of forcing people to pay for a 24-hour homosexual network."

Oh, Here we go.....Holy freakin crap!

The homo's are out of control, looks like we will need to find out who the commercial sponsors will be and send them a piece of our minds.

I appologize. In the light you just shed on it, your comments made perfect sense. I'm sorry I teed off.

Even if it isn't order on demand, there is a blocking function on cable so that you can block those channels.

Not on our cable. But I had the TV repair shop disconnect the channel select buttons on our television. The only way you can change the channel is with the remote. Which I control.

It can't be pornographic if it is basic cable.

Wanna bet? (and mind you, this is from the BET/Viacom press release....

BET UNCUT
Corporate Communications

UNCUT –

Sexy, seductive, steamy, provocative and controversial can barely describe UNCUT, BET’s late night over the top adult program. Aired in the wee hours of the morning, UNCUT was created specifically for mature viewers who enjoy raw, erotic, and mind-blowing entertainment. See your favorite hip-hop and R&B artists in a different light as they bring out their freaky renditions of videos that you will never see aired during normal BET viewing hours. Multi-platinum recording artists Nelly, Lenny Kravitz, 50 cent and Ludacris have all created videos exclusively for the UNCUT viewer.

This sixty-minute ‘raunch’ fest gives the late night crowd an option to view deliberate “un-sanitized” videos by mainstream and unsigned artists alike. UNCUT is solely adult entertainment-NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN.

Right. I've used that once or twice, but I found that Hotwire usually gave me better choices.
