What's not allowed on your TV or radio, on this SUNday morning? I don't allow any religions/faiths on my TV or radio. I was brought up as a Christian, and left the faith alomst two years ago. Now if I'm a guest at somebody's house or in their car, I will respect them if they choose to have that on. If it's not religion/faith that you don't allow on your TV (or radio), then what is it that you prohibit?

I stopped watching tv about 10 years ago

Nothing wrong with that.

Fox news.

I go to a restaurant close to work and my first time there on the trays I noticed the Ten Commandments, a few visits later the owner had Christian music playing. I let it pass, not my restaurant but the last time I ate there it wasn't so good so with all that I won't be back for a while. Its frustrating tv on Sundays cuz a lot of the channels are religious b.s. in the morning - no cable here.

No religion ever or football/soccer, racehorses and a lot of sport.no trump or may either.

Country music!

With country music, you play the song backwards and the guy gets his dog, house and woman back. ?

NASCAR haha. Is a lil to boring for me😉

With me being a "redneck," I even find NASCAR boring with the cars going round and round, in the same circle. ?

Soap operas have been banned in this house since my ex moved out in 2012. She used to watch at least two hours of them most weeknights. Most reality TV is banned, too. Especially Big Brother.

Religious programming? Never watched it in the first place. Even back in the days when we only had 3 channels, the other two or nothing at all were preferable. "Songs of Praise" still appears to be broadcasting (I just checked the schedules.) I'm guessing it must be mandated somewhere, because I can't imagine it being a good ratings pull.

Reality TV, I could never get a hang of. Feels like tp main stream for me. As a kid at the babysitter's, soap opera's were always on. I don't watch them today. Speaking of soap operas, adult wrestling like WWE, reminds me of the male version of soap operas. Religious programming, I have watch before I left the Christion faith.

During the christmas season my usual radio station switched to all chrismas music format before Thanksgiving. So I switched radio stations to a Boomer station. And lo and behold there came a church service into my home. I wrote to the station and let them know why I was leaving, and got this polite but nonsensical reply. Eh, don't matter to me. I haven't switched back to my former station yet. The radio is continually on in my house and car. It goes off while in the car if I have passengers. If I'm riding with others I just want the radio low enough that we can talk over it.

Just about anything and everything that breaks for commercials. I do not have cable or satellite and only will watch PBS on my OTA antenna. My TV viewing is streaming from internet of what I choose and YouTube.

I don't watch TV. Ever. Too much subtle and not-so-subtle societal programming. And the ads are horrendous. Don't listen to the radio, either, but that's because I worked in the field for a couple of decades and the DJs are offensive to me now.

I live alone, so whatever I choose, or don't choose, to have on the television, is entirely up to me. When I have small humans here, I keep it to kid-friendly shows.
The 5-year-old popped in one weekend afternoon, while I was watching something particularly violent (Kill Bill, can't remember if it was part 1 or 2), I turned off the tv altogether. My Sunday mornings are usually when I watch Meet the Press, Face the Nation, State of the Union, etc.

It really chaps my hide when there is a 10a baseball game and the local "sports" station airs their religious shit instead of the game!!! NO angry talk radio crap either!! I use to like Denis Miller - he's gone so far right it's pathic.

Agreed! About baseball games AND Dennis Miller.

I don't care for sports, myself and not a sports person. I do keep tabs on the sports from time to time, so I can have something to talk to with the guys at work. The super bowl is a much watch game for me (I do it for the ad's/commercials).
