What I would like to know is this: Will PaxNet (UHF Channel 31 in New York
City -- the former city owned WNYC-TV = sold by our dear old mayor to close
a budget gap) feature programs that only cater to "White Middle America
Republican, heterosexual" folks, or will it also carry programs that are of
interests to real people? Somehow, I fear that this is going to be a TV
version of the kind of material that J-Lite (WJLT-AM) and WEZE put out.
Anyway...I'll be tuning in come August 31 (gee...what a coincidence...August
31 on Channel 31)
Forever left-leaning (and proud of it)
