I'm not sure if any of the good folks from Sky Angel read these postings, but I thought this would be a great place for those of us who subscribe to Sky Angel to put our heads together and share our thoughts on what could make Sky Angel better.
Back in 1999, I took advantage of the Sky Angel lifetime membership for about $420.00. Since then I have noticed that Sky Angel has increased the monthly subscription. If I were paying $10.00 per month for this service, I would think about canceling the service.
Sky Angel claims to have a number of stations, but many of those stations air the same programs. I see this as a waste of satellite band width. Let's look at the big picture. As Christians, we believe that salvation comes by placing our faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone. He is the promised Messiah. I don't want this to turn into a theological debate, so let's not debate this in this forum. My point is that Christians - no matter what denomination we belong to - belives this ( I hope). So wouldn't it make more sense for these televisions stations to join together, reduce the redunancy within the daily programming, and find a way to add new channels that reach out to a larger Christian-based audience?
A new church was built on our community, and the pastor from my church attended the new church's celebration service. Someone commented that they were surprised to see a pastor from another local church at this service (as if we were in competition with each other). My pastor quickly pointed out that the community has more than 250,000 residents, and his church can't accomodate all 250,000 residents. In fact, there aren't enough churches in our area to house all 250,000 residents. We aren't in a competition. We need to work together in our community. I feel the same is true for Christian-based television stations. Each station is, in a sense, fighting for your viewership and your donations to keep their station operating.
All I'm trying to say is that TV stations on Sky Angel need to work together. I think more good can be done for the Christian community this way. Sorry for all the preaching. I would be interested in hearing other thoughts on what Sky Angel can do to improve it's services to the Christian community.
