1/28 Update -
Monday, January 29th, 2007, The Tyra Banks Show will air an episode called "The Mysterious Lives of Witches"
Quote:
Do you believe in magic? Tyra meets some of the 400,000 people in the United States who call themselves witches and explores their mysterious world of spells and rituals. Three women claim they are “white witches” or “good witches,” but have been tormented due to their beliefs. Then the “good witches” agree to pull back the curtain for a first-hand look at a witches’ induction ceremony, and Tyra speaks with the woman who was welcomed into their coven. Tyra reveals the other side of witchcraft when she’s joined by three people who consider themselves “dark witches,” and take you inside a ceremony where a blood-letting ritual is performed. Tyra also speaks with two members of one of the most controversial and feared groups in history, Satanists, including a man who claims he is the first child born in the “Church of Satan.” Plus, a former witch who now believes witchcraft is evil.
The show airs at 1 PM, EST.

I'm not sure how many of you know about the High-Correll's or the Correllian Nativist Tradition, but they run "Witch School" in Hoopeston, Illinois (I think the online version of Witch School is being run seperately from the tradition).
If you read the article link, Witch School is slated to debut on the Sci-Fi Channel as a "docu-soap"
TLC (The Learning Channel) has this show called "My Unique Family". Apparently, the episode to air on Febuary 19th (10pm EST) is called "The Witches Next Door" about a woman (and her family, I assume) who established the first Wiccan church in her town.
I'm kindof a little unsure about the reality-docu-soap with Witch School. On one hand, I think it could be a non-horrible decision, so long as it's full of disclaimers... And on the other, I can see it spiraling into an ugly beastie. gonk Here's hoping it's a good documentary and their not nutbars..

This is very interesting to me.

According to this notice on WitchVox, it's a work in progress station (?) with a Pagan flavor.
I'm not sure, since the first episode of the first show "Pagan Paths", which can be viewed on the above website, is, well, on the above website. I've never really seen a lot of new TV stations come up before though...
I hope they get body mics soon. The episode, I can't quite understand, because well, I have all of my sound levels all the way up and it's just so quiet. It definately looks like they're in desperate need for some technical help and support (and the notice says that too).
But, it's curious and it started me thinking.
I can only think of a few pagan comics. Like Oh My Gods! for example. And.. uhm.. I said Oh My Gods! right? I've seen a few random one-liner comic strips on various websites, but no active webcomics that I can think of.
I think it's a great idea and undestandable that it's a work in progress so there's technical problems (it's not officially "born" yet, so it's okay).
But, I'm wondering
Are we ready for Pagan TV?
Do you have any fears or aspirations for such a television program?
What good and bad things can come from another religious channel?
Pagan Sitcoms anyone?
