Religious aspect to "must-carry" DTV

Hmm...I didn't see this one coming, but I suppose I should have. There's an entire religious element
to the "must-carry" legislation under review. The "must-carry"
provision, if you're not aware, is a potential mandate on cable and satellite providers to carry local digital broadcast stations. We're looking for your thoughts on this in our weekly poll.

So, what's the blasphemy with this deal? Up to now, there hasn't been much religious programming on cable or satellite, although it's fairly prominent in local UHF markets. Now that I think about it, I can pick up two unique digital OTA broadcasts
that are nothing but religious programming. If the "must-carry" law is put to death, the audience reach will certainly dwindle in ability to watch this programming. Wow, just when I thought this was a relatively clear-cut decision, someone wisely resurrects the issue with a really good point.

Does this change your point-of-view on the "must-carry" law or do you think cable and satellite should be allowed freedom of programming choice?
