Re: Gay channel
I have nothing against them carrying the channel, just wouldn't watch it.

Is 'Gay programming' strictly a genre? How exactly does a 'Gay' sitcom/drama/documentary/DIY show/sports programme differ from a 'non-gay' one?
Perhaps someone could clear this up for me?

Maybe because there might not be enough demand for it at the moment?

Re: Gay channel
Maybe Russ but still doesnt mean anyone who is gay has to pay the on demand fee to watch it, and as I said the spice channels are porn, not exactly gay tv is it? still just makes it a porn channel

Most probably that will be the reason why NTL won't carry it, they won't make any money out of carrying it, if they're not going to charge an extra per monthly fee.

Yeah so if gay people dont want porn whats th epoint in complaining? after all shows shown on 99% of the channels would be compatible with either sexual orientation.
However if Gay porn is to be shown, then hetro porn must be shown of the same level, i.e if its hardcore for one its Hardcore for the other.
There should be no favouritism either way.
I love Rock Punk and Heavy metal music, I dont demand Heavy metal TV do I? No I watch whats available and choose not to watch stuff I dont like. I dont demand Rock Chick Porn (although it would be fantastic  ).

Re: Gay channel
What happened to the gay programs that channel 4 were showing a couple of years ago?Did they not get the support?
However they did seem to be of the where to find Gay clubs and what to wear variety so maybe they weren't challenging enough.
