I can honestly say that I am not surprised since Logo is owned by Viacom, who is notorious for this kind of sh!t. The writing was on the wall when I started seeing Teen Mom/16 and Pregnant marathons on the channel.

I wouldn't be surprised if that show, despite being the highest-rated original one on the network, gets the boot down the line.

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Another example of Network Decay.

I don't watch LOGO. Yet, I find this weird that they're turning this into another 'We play whatever' type station. There's already enough of those. Seems like Niche stations are *this* close to dead.

Wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing CSI Miami on the Food Network soon. Or something as random as that. :lol:

This reminds me of when TNN became Spike.

This channel seemed to be held in low regard from early on.

I have heard nothing but bile about the A List and I am not sorry to see yet more bad stereotypes off TV.

The next time someone tells you about the gay agenda running all over TV, tell them about this LOGO stunt. Gay representation on TV continues to detiorate and humiliate.

This is an odd move. LOGO must have been losing money. I am pretty sure it is owned by CBS or that CBS has a stake in it which is why there was so much censorship. I think it will have to change its name if this change is going work since it is now so strongly identified with gay programming,

Most probably a financial decision.If crap like 'The A List' was the best they could offer,then no wonder the 'gay' viewers weren't interested.

Anyway,Bravo is the unofficial gay network.

I do think there is a change happening and gay consumers no longer wish to be pigeon holed.

I am so tired of advertisers trying to categorize everybody according to their research, which only seems to prove what they believed in the first place.

Basically! :lol:

OMG, what gay in glasses came up with this dumb ass idea? I could be very wrong, but this sounds like some executive or executives had a Come to Ellen moment about gay acceptance/integration, how the "gay issue" is no longer an issue, or it shouldn't be an issue any longer, and the only way to guarantee that is to not treat it like an issue, and BAM!, you have a gay network with no gay. HiLURRious. I pray for their sake that no one on their team tries to bring BET into this conversation because they will get served their own head.

I've only caught two shows on Logo, one was the Big Gay Sketch Comedy Show with Rosie and Chaz Bono playing Statler and Waldorf at the end. I remember the sketches I saw as being pretty funny. The one I constantly flip past while channel surfing is called 1 Girl 5 Gays and they just ask random questions and share their opinions. It was kind of funny but of course a lot of it was wannabe shocking sex questions and that got tiresome very quickly.

Maybe they could move away from their silly pink poofy pom-pom yay-yay we're gay type stuff and do more serious programming, like something that profiles a bullied gay teen once a week and stages interventions at his/her high school to educate and shame the bullies. There's no problem with doing a little reformatting, but when you have a platform like that, at least do something responsible with it. I guess the point though is why would a homophobe or anyone insecure in their sexuality watch a "gay network" to begin with, but you have to start somewhere.

    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
