How many Hours per Week do you watch Faith Based Programming? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GentlemanJim · 05-06-2022, 11:34 AM

Please, let's refrain from any religious debate in this thread, I feel that if we do it will only cause some members to not respond. And I wanted to put the poll where it will be seen by the most possible board members.

I see channels that carry faith based programming 24/7 and am just curious how many hours per week each of you might spend watching this type programming?

Maybe 25 yrs ago or more I would catch some of the Crystal Cathedral with Robert Schuller and that's been it.

Zero. Swear to God…

Let me be explicit. As far as I am concerned there is no right or wrong answer. I'm trying to quantify viewership for this type programming, and nothing else.

A lot is offered, so reasoning would suggest there must be a following.

A number of years ago I would tune in Jack Van Impe and his wife Rexella,....mostly because I was impressed with his pitch. And the guy doing the Campmeeting show these days is pretty slick with his "plant a seed" ministry.

Zero now, but back in the early '80s when I was about 10 or younger, I did watch some wacko on public access named Dr. Scott.

I used to watch Jack Van Impe with my Mom when she was alive. I used to watch Billy Graham too. I don't really watch anything like that anymore. Then again I don't watch much tv anymore other than the retro channels.

Wow, almost 200 page views and only one regular viewer of such offerings? I'll admit I'm a little surprised with such an anemic showing.

3ABN has been adding channel slots in my local market, just added one to the hi-def tier on our cable franchise operator, and I believe they have 3 diginet feeds as well. So I suspected it must be a growth industry.

Somebody must be watching it?

Ah man!!

I try to watch quite a bit actually, but some days more than others. But it is generally all over the place.
I'll tune into Genesis Science Network on my Roku, and I like watching a lot of Youtube channels like OffTheKirb Ministries, Lion of Judah, and Living Waters with Ray Comfort.

I used to watch "Jack Van Impe Presents" every Sunday for a long while back in the 90's. It was intriguing. The thing I was impressed with about him was his knowledge of the Bible. He could quote just about almost every chapter and verse in It.
