Gay channel
 

A new gay channel is about to start full time over on sky digital. I know that this topic has caused controversy in the past but what are the chances that NTL will carry this channel in the near futer.

Re: Gay channel
 

Have you actually contacted ntl & asked them, & if so, what did they say?

Re: Gay channel
 

i think you would have to ask an NTL employee about the channel, they only add channels which the majorty would watch, a priority list, i dont think it will see the light of day on NTL.

hi and :welcome: to the site , i reckon that is your best option , ring ntl and ask :)

Re: Gay channel
 

I think at least it will have to gain popularity on Sky before ntl take it on, like all the other launched channels :)

Re: Gay channel
 

We are limited space as it is and when we free more space our main proiritory is to add established channels that have asked us for carriage like FX etc. I don't think you'll ever see this channel on ntl, well not for many years anyway!

Re: Gay channel
 

have some channel operators already reserved space on the ntl platform??
and was that FX i was in there, wanting carriage??

Re: Gay channel
 

I agree $ky. ntl seems not to like gay channels as it has decided not to put any on thus far so I see no chance of them changing theri mind and putting through any in the future.

Re: Gay channel
 

I have had customers before asking if this is a channel that will be available so it would seem there is a demand albeit small'ish

Re: Gay channel
 

What's the most asked for channel? I'd rather see FX added before the Gay channel. but wouldnt mind it added before Trouble reloaded and Bravo +1 added.

Re: Gay channel
 

A number of broadcasters have reserved space on the ntl platform for launching channels at a later stage and so ntl are making no more channels spaces available at this time due to bandwith limitations! It will be highly unlikely that a such a specialist channel like Gay TV would be added before the such of Trouble Reload, FX, Bravo +1 etc.

Re: Gay channel
 

I'd imagine that FX has been asked for a lot of times.

However, I am not totally surprised that people are asking for some sort of gay station given that ntl has chosen not to allow carriage to any thus far, the only 'niche' that ntl has ignored as an entirety.

Re: Gay channel
 

So, who's going to step forward and be the first to accuse NTL of being homophobic for not showing it??? :D

Re: Gay channel
 

And who will prove that ntl have stopped gay channels being launched?

Re: Gay channel
 

Well they've never carried any yet and all other genres seem to be welocme on ntl... The evidence speaks for itself.
