| ABC Family's "700 Club" disclaimer: "...not those of ABC..." |
|
Paraphrasing from memory. This was displayed before tonight's 700 Club started:
"The views expressed on this program are not those of ABC Family."
Not "do not necessarily agree with the views of...", rather "are not those".
Has anyone noticed a change in the disclaimer since Robertson called for the head of Chavez?

the fact that they still carry the 700 Club speaks volumes for the ounce of shit they give for anything resembling "family values".

| 4. Pat will squeal like a pig if they refuse to show his program |
|
and sue till the cows come home as he has a contract. Hopefully any future contracts, if any, with the $700M Club contain an out clause for the station. I think ABC Family should run that message at the bottom of the screen non-stop until his contract runs out.

| 5. ABC is required by contract to show it |
|
When pat robertson sold his tv channel to news corp. he sold it on the condition that the 700 club was to be shown and the deal would still apply to future channel owners.

| 3. Tonight was the first time I saw that disclaimer. |
|
We watch "Whose Line is it Anyway", and "The 700 Club" comes on after it, so we usually see the opening. CYA all the way.

| 11. Brilliant, suggest that to ABC. |
|
As I recall, it was a still image on the screen, with no sound at all.
