The channel is available on DirecTV, Dish and FIOS. The Inspiration Network website wants you to write Comcast (and provides a sample letter). Cable channels used to ask you to call your cable company. Now mine doesn't have a phone number. When they did, the only voice menu options were to start service, add service or order pay per view. At least with a letter you don't spend time on hold.

But do these cable companies pay any attention at all to these customer channel requests. Has any channel every been added to any cable system because people asked for it? Somehow I doubt it.

In any case, if God ever has a message for me, I'd rather get it from the red-headed angel with the Irish accent or from Valerie Bertinelli than from Little Joe Cartwright.

No, but when I emailed Comcast several months ago about adding WGN America in my area they said they're not adding any new channels as they're in the process of converting all their systems to digital.

Well, it took Comcast, what, eight years for them to add Game Show Network - excuse me, GSN?
