	The Religious Broadcasting Page
		From the beginning, religious broadcasters have been controversial and that is unlikely to change.
		Some religious broadcasters may feel uncomfortable being placed on the same general web site as groups they believe to be apostolic or heretical of their perspective.
		Religious freedom is one of the most cherished of human freedoms.

	Religious broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Religious organizations large and small also often have a presence on cable television systems, either with their own channels (such as the 3ABN service) or by transmissions on public access (common for local congregations) or leased access channels.
		Some people oppose the licencing of religious broadcasting (particularly on terrestrial broadcasting frequencies) on the grounds that as it is impractical to give all religious groups their own radio stations (due to the insufficent number of frequencies available) licencing any group (to the exclusion of others) amounts to religious discrimination.
		Some atheists and agnostics are also opposed to religious broadcasting some going as far as denouncing it as a fraud designed to swindle money from vunerable members of the public although others maintain that it should be allowed on free speech grounds.

	Public Notice CRTC 1993-78
		The Commission's policy on religious broadcasting is based upon the requirements of Section 3 of the Broadcasting Act (the Act), which states that the programming provided by the Canadian broadcasting system should provide a reasonable opportunity for the public to be exposed to the expression of differing views on matters of public concern.
		In developing its approach to religious broadcasting, the Commission sought to be responsive, not only to technological advances, but also to the daily realities facing many Canadians in an increasingly complex society, particularly residents of communities where suicide, alcoholism and loneliness are widespread.
		It considers that local religious broadcasters can work within the existing flexible guidelines of the current balance policy in order to keep their audiences informed of differing perspectives on issues of importance, including religion itself, while addressing the particular needs of the communities they serve.

	Religious Broadcasting at the Crossroads
		That is, it appears that religious television shows have reached the point at which they are now largely attracting the segment of the total television population that is going to be attracted by the present formats and contents.
		Those broadcasters who have previously invested excess income in revenue-producing activities such as their own stations or other industries appear to be in a healthier position than others who have invested in liabilities such as buildings or dependent schools.
		While religious broadcasters have continually said that their task is to supplement the work of the local church, there is little evidence of a sustained attempt by broadcasters to do this.

	"Religious Broadcasting" -- 11/28/04
		There are religious voices in the broadcast media that are in harmony with our own, as long as we recognize that we are not the sole voice of liberal religion, and that things can be religious in a fundamental way without ever mentioning religion or being affiliated with any religious community.
		Religious exclusivism was anathema to Rev. Rogers, who apparently was much more interested in the ethical application of religion than the promulgation of particular doctrines.
		Religious conservatism is authoritarian because it upholds a particular authority — for instance, the authority of the Bible — to be above questioning, and it is exclusive in that it holds a particular set of religious doctrines to be true and all others to be necessarily false.

	Broadcasting & Cable: The Business of Television
		Religious broadcasters are eager to capitalize on the surge.
		Even as religious programmers dream of such widespread popularity, they continue to be dogged by the sort of skepticism that greeted the first preacher who ever asked TV viewers to open their wallets.
		Another problem, says National Religious Broadcasters' Wright, is that, long ago, the religious networks ill-advisedly “hitched their stars to must-carry and didn't work on relationships with cable, and that's unfortunate.” He is trying to shore up cable and satellite relations.

		In 1999 a ten minute rule Bill to remove restrictions on the ownership of broadcasting licences by religious bodies was passed by 140 votes to 11.
		The basic position of broadcasting law in relation to faith groups is that it is hostile towards them solely on the basis of their religion.
		A religious broadcaster is just as capable of producing output which appeals to a broad audience as a secular broadcaster.

		The FCC cannot direct any broadcaster to present, or refrain from presenting, announcements or programs on religion, and the FCC cannot act as an arbitrator on the insights or accuracy of such material.
		Broadcasters, not the FCC, nor any other governmental agency, have the responsibility for selecting the programming that is aired by their stations.
		The laws and the FCC's policies on the broadcast of religious programming have appeared in numerous publications (including newspapers, religious publications, TV Guide and Time Magazine) and have been discussed in religious group meetings.

		He also pointed out that not all religious broadcasters are affected by the decision, because the "majority of broadcasters offering religious-oriented programming are exempt from the NCE eligibility requirements described in the Cornerstone decision because they use commercial channels".
		The Religious Broadcasting Freedom Act, which Rep. Oxley can introduce when the Congress reconvenes later this month, would undo the FCC's decision as it pertains to regulating the content of religious broadcasters.
		The bill would permit the FCC to set rules for religious broadcasters, but only by means of agency rulemaking process.

		Transmissions on the broadcast band have the advantage for churches(and others) that no additional or specialized equipment is needed at the listener end.
		Although we are generally supportive of the idea of opening more spectrum to non-commercial purposes we are unsure whether introducing a new class of operations that seem incompatible, technically and practically, with other systems is the most useful approach.
		Following consultation with the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI), ComReg has established that the proposed service is not a broadcasting service and does not therefore come under the BCI regulatory regime.

	Religious leaders repeat arguments over broadcasting \| Ekklesia
		The statements by the group of broadcasters - chaired by the Bishop of Southwark, the Rt Revd Tom Butler - fly in the face of comments made by the BBC's Director General in June.
		In a shot across the bows of those who feel that religion is being marginalized in broadcasting, most notably those who focus on 'entitlements' to religious slots, the Director General urged Christians to be more creative and 'subversive' in their broadcasting approaches.
		Mark Thompson also pointed out that religion was often at the forefront of broadcasting with acts of Christian worship being broadcast every week on TV and Radio, religious prime time slots such as 'Thought for the Day' on Radio 4, and documentaries such as BBC 2's The Monastery.

		In the transfer decisions, the FCC issued "guidance" for the religious broadcasters by instructing them for the first time that traditional religious programming could no longer be counted as educational.
		H.R. 4201, which makes Congress' intent clear that the FCC cannot engage in regulating content of speech broadcast by noncommercial educational stations, was approved in a 264 to 159 vote.

		Madalyn Murray O'Hair never petitioned the FCC to ban religious programming nor was she ever granted a hearing by that regulatory body to discuss the matter.
		(Religious organizations that operate a university or school may, under FCC rules, receive a license reserved for non-commercial educational use.) The petitioners also asked the FCC to place a freeze on new licenses to religious-oriented stations while it considered whether existing license-holders were providing diverse programming.
		In addition, the vast majority of letters urge us to reject what they understand to be the proposal to ban the broadcast of all religious programs (including church services) from the air.

		In 1974, Jeremy Lansman and Lorenzo Milam petitioned the FCC to regulate the assignment of broadcasting licenses to religious groups for educational use.

	FCC Ruling May Jeopardize Religious Broadcasting -- 01/05/2000

		The ruling also goes on to provide broadcasters with "additional guidance" in determining what can be considered "educational programming" on reserved noncommercial broadcasting channels.
		Cornerstone TeleVision, a Pittsburgh-based religious broadcaster, agreed to change its proposed broadcast schedule lineup in response to the new guidelines to include more non-religious educational programming, including televising local college courses, adult education, and shows on cooking, quilting, and mechanics.
