The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has ruled that Shaw Cable has not been marketing its gay-and-lesbian TV service nearly as well as do other cable systems.

The broadcast regulator says, as a result of being subjected to “undue disadvantage,” OUTtv was not getting nearly the audience on Shaw that it was getting elsewhere. (CP)

You can almost smell a human rights thingy coming along. The actual ruling is available here and we read that Shaw groups OUTtv adjacent to channels carrying adult programming such as the Playboy and Hustler channels which are part of an “All In pack” and OUTtv is included in that. In addition to including the gay channel in the All In One it provides it’s customers with the choice to decline to have that specific channel in their All In One package.

This is why I don’t watch cable.

Up yours Fascist CRTC! Maybe they should protect our charter right to freedom of conscience and Religion. Or is it just groups the left likes who get that? Oh wait we know the answer kill the Christians, Kill All The White People!

Can’t wait til they do like in 1984 and force you to have it on all the time.

If you think theres no way it will happen go back to the 1960’s and tell them this would happen and they would look at you like you were from Venus. And it will get worse. Besides less than .001% will complain to their MP’s so they know we the people are ok with it.

If they can force Shaw can they force M.A.D.
