TV Indecency Battle Pits Evangelical Christians Against Christian Cable Stations...
Washington Post/Religion News Service:
Evangelical Christians are on the front lines in the battle over indecency on cable television, calling for a pick-and-choose pricing plan that would allow viewers to keep certain channels out of their homes.
But on the opposite end of the battlefield is an opponent familiar to and even respected by evangelicals: Christian cable stations.
The fear among Christian broadcasters is that a proposal to allow consumers to reject MTV or Comedy Central would also allow them to drop the Trinity Broadcasting Network or Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network. Cutting off that access could hurt religious broadcasters.
