KNVA Broadcaster of Bigotry

In the wee hours of this morning, I happened to be playing channel clickey with the television remote. I switched onto KNVA channel 54 and saw one of the most repulsive things I've seen on television in some time. They apparently sell that time slot to a TV preacher. He was carrying on with a terrible message of homophobic hate.

He wasn't just guiding his flock, but was preaching a message to judge and vilify others. He wasn't just condemning people, but entire branches of religions that disagreed with him.

KNVA, in theory, has been granted a license to broadcast in the public interest. Unfortunately, public interest seems to be redefined as anything you can get paid for. I wish the FCC would do something about this, but they probably are too busy making sure Bono doesn't say fuck and Janet Jackson doesn't flash another titty.

I contacted the KNVA program director to express my displeasure. I hope that if this continues, they hear from other people too.

Apr 21 followup: The name of the bigoted preacher I saw is Arnold Murray.
