www.skyangel.com
more tv channels that aren't racy or lewd ever...
even TBN or Nickalodean (although one could argue Nick at Nite is starting to get to where they have a few shows that are arguably racy at times)

Well, a couple points.
- My point is the world is full of racy, lewd and inappropriate things and it surrounds you daily.
- TV is not ALWAYS racy. There are many channels that offer good programming, but you wouldn't know that since you don't have a TV.
- Playboy is ALWAYS racy.

ALL television (even stuff like Nick, Jr. and PBS Kids and such) is worse than a "sometimes lewd" magazine?!?! Seriously????
someone needs to stop listening to the hype and actually sit down and watch tv for 10 minutes if they think every second of tv is worse... |
OH! So then we are going to be advertising only on Nick Jr. and PBS kids? Come on!
Practically no one will advertise their church on these stations. People will want channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox and no one can tell me that these stations are not lewd nor inappropriate.

those shows air on either CBS or NBC
Nick, Jr's stuff airs on, I think NBC
Disney Channel shows air on ABC
Fox has thier own kids "network" that either airs on the Fox affiliate or a secondary affiliate, depending on the market at certain times of the day...
and there is tons of stuff, even on primetime, that is not lewd...
As someone who watches tv, I can tell you, it isn't as bad as you think it is (and it probably isn't as "ok" as I think it is)

They will not be able to afford those stations.
They will advertise on local cable channels.
I think his point to you is that not ALL of TV is racy.

actually, my church looked into some tv advertising...
you can get 20 spots that will air between 7-9 AM or 5-6 PM on weekdays (during news programming) on a local affiliate for like $55 a spot in groups of 20 (so $1100)... that isn't really all that bad, and the 5 o'clock news is watched by a ton of people, so that ad (although not necessarily the 7-9 AM one) would get seen by a ton of people...
although, yeah, the cable ads are much cheaper than that (couple bucks a spot)
(note: all of this doesn't include the cost of making a commercial, but it can't be more than a couple hundred with how cheap equiptment and video editing software is nowadays)

Clarification: The magazine in question is not Playboy, it is Esquire. I will agree that Playboy is ALWAYS racy.

How would I know?

And if they let us put them on there and let us point out that we are against the porn, then, yeah...
I mean, seriously, you realize that Playboy would NEVER let someone say the things I proposed to say in its magazine, right? They would never let someone in an interview get preachy or speak about how people shouldn't read playboy...

So what's the point, then? Why even present the hypothetical in which you would intertwine yourself with such a smutty publication?
