Can we get back to the subject in hand please? (Why these always turn into whether gay is right or wrong always does disappoint me).

Sam came on here to say that ntl did speak to two gay channels a while back but both did not want ntl carriage. There are only three gay channels (of which GTV will be the third) and it is disappointing that these channels do not want to be on ntl.

the also said there was no 'evidence' as to why no gay channel has ever appeared on ntl. Whilst I clearly accept the point that ntl cab't FORCE a channel to launch on its system, these gay channels must be about the only onese not to want to launch on cable. I guess I draw my conclusions from the channel line-ups as they stand.

I would be curious as to why The Dating Channel's gay version is not there in partic. I did email them once about this but never got a reply. I might remail them again and also ask Gaydar Radio and GTV about the sitiuation with regard to ntl and, if I get a reply, I'll post the jist of the reply in here.
