In surfing the Internet, I found an Associated Press story on the possibility of a Gay TV Network. Maybe they would be open to including intersex programming. I quote in part:
"Redstone also said Tuesday that he has been in discussions with U.S. cable operators about the possibility of launching a gay and lesbian channel. He called the would-be network "a good channel for them, and a good channel for Viacom."
"We are prepared to give it a go, and I'm optimistic about it," he said, adding that "there's no reason why we shouldn't aspire to reach such an enormous demographic, not only in the United States, but in the world."
Redstone, 80, is worth $8.9 billion and is the world's 35th richest man, according to Forbes Magazine.
He brushed off concerns a channel geared toward homosexuals could be opposed by some conservative and religious groups in the United States.
"The channel will succeed, I believe," he said. "And we will not be deterred by nay-sayers." "
