Ok, so we've heard a few ridiculous suggestions about satanists and other minority groups not being catered for, and I think we all agree that homosexuals constitute a large sized group in the UK, but using your reasoning are we also to assume that ntl are prejudiced against other groups of equal or greater size?
We don't have a disabled persons channel, does that mean that ntl are also discriminating against this group? As mentioned so many times already; there is absolutely no evidence that ntl are not carrying a gay channel on the basis of discrimination.

And I still say that minority channels should be shown as a social responsibility rather than as an economic viability.
So would ntl then have the responsibilty to foot the bill for all programming on this minority channel as well as it's free carriage, or is that someone else's 'social responsibility'? If so, who's?
