Re: Gay channel

OK, I have responded to this type of thread before, but for those that never saw it over on the other forum.

ntl isn't homophobic in it's channel selection policy. There is no policy of not launching gay channels. All channels are treated equally, and we launch channels based on customer demand, contractual negotiations and other relevant factors. The channels also have to actually want to launch on ntl. We spoke with two gay channels last year who didn't want to launch on cable at that time.

There is no 'evidence' that ntl won't launch gay channels, as has been implied in this thread. I am involved in the process for selecting channels to launch, and there is absolutely no discrimination against any channel genre.

There is a lot of speculation on this forum at all times about ntl, and I don't actually have the time to respond to most of it, but I wanted to set the record straight on this point as it is completely untrue.
