text: And how the Catholic Church and other superstitions conspired to have the CRTC approve Vision TV approved as a Must Carry channel, propped up by a Pass Thru Mandatory Tithe that forces anyone getting TV from Cablecos or Telcos to contribute to the collective millions that Vision TV drains from our household budgets each year. Cablecos and Telcos  get to charge customers an extra fee if all of the Must Carry speciality channels are available in their basic service.
  
  The Political Appointees at the CRTC even praised the Religious folks flogging the Vision TV concept, after being cautioned by their own pollsters that it was one of the lowest polling Speciality Channel concepts. 
  
  Even back in the 1980s less than 1 person in 10 polled said that they would have any interest in viewing a Relgious TV channel, even if it were "free". Vision is not free, all cable and telco TV subscribers pay for it, even though the vast majority have no interest in viewing the Religious show content on it.
