We are trying to create image factor in programning L.O. <br />channel #12 <br /> <br />. O!ANNEL #13 <br /> <br />Proposed: Quad cities Religious Access <br /> <br />O1ange: Christian Broadcasting Network to be the Religious Sel:Vice to be <br />designated of the four proposed. Carbine initially the Religious <br />access with Senior Citizeri access. <br /> <br />Reason: <br /> <br />CBN is the rrost desired satellite religious sel:Vice nation wide.
