The Puppy ChannelSM on TV is just "puppies, puppies, puppies," accompanied by little more than relaxing, instrumental music. Nobody talks at you. In fact, you rarely see people, other than an occasional visit by a little child, or a heartwarming visit to a senior citizen. In three tests across the U.S., people have said they want The Puppy ChannelSM on TV. Many say they would like it better than what's on TV now. Is there really a need for these channels?

Der Kommissar 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2005 Destiny Channel? That just sounds horrible. Another one I heard that is starting up soon is MTV India. Basically, it's going to cater to Indians living in the US, if I read the article correctly. That seems like a bit of a niche market, but I'd watch because I have found the Indian music videos I watched to be a total guilty pleasure. Assuming they show music videos, of course, this is MTV we're talking about... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where I work, we have two guys who actually BRING BIBLES TO WORK WITH THEM. One is a Limo driver who I rarely see. The other is a bus driver who stops in from time to time, as he runs the employee shuttle bus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2005 They need an Alternative Religions channel, hell every Religion should get a channel if we must have multiple Religion channels Agreed. I don't see why each religion just doesn't get one damn station. Like what television needed was another station of overly white people talking about how much they love Jesus/God and how every religion is totally wrong set to burn in hell. I tried watching TBN for an entire day once and that station nearly made me denounce humanity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Failed Mascot Report post Posted January 7, 2005 I got something on my digital cable package called "The Fox Movie Channel". It of course plays movies only produced by Fox and thus far its free. I've already seen them play Cheaper by the Dozen so they're playing pretty recent movies on it too.

Guest Failed Mascot Report post Posted January 7, 2005 I wouldn't be surprised to see it eventually become a pay channel. They gave us ESPN Classic for free for the first 3 months it switched over to digital cable. Then they tore it away and its now a pay channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, it's only coming to college dorm tv (National Lampoon Network) and HDTV In Demand. No basic cable and no basic dish packages at this time. So at the moment, Fangoria is a no.

The Film Festival Channel is devoted to covering the latest film festival buzz and broadcasting unique, quality films in on-air competition, giving promising filmmakers exposure and celebrating their most innovative work.

Der Kommissar 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2005 Many say they would like it better than what's on TV now. Well, I think puppies would be better than a lot better than some of the crap I have seen while flipping through the channels. Then again, so would a static screen, but that's besides the point.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2005 Black TV News Channel HA. Anyone that has ever watched BET news knows that they can't even fill 30 minutes of television when they try to do a news program featuring predominately stories about people of color. How in the ever loving fuck are they going to make a whole channel? It just gets to a point when they start reporting the dumbest shit in the world, but because it has a black person in it, it fills the requirements.
