Hello people , I've got a question ,

I put it here in this forum !!

What I don't understand , why religious channels are always FTA (Free To Air) ?? __ Why they are not encrypted , how do they get their money , like Pay-TV , such as DirecTV , they offer them for free !! __ But a lot of The News channels are encrypted , I don't get it !! They are important , with useful information for the crowd !!

Thx in advance !!

Cheers from a NON BELIEVER:

Largely they are subsidised by the same avenu regular Channels liek Fox and ABC are, by Cmmercials.

also, many of them also rely heavily on Donations to Ministries.

So we have the standard Commercials and the Donations covering the costs.
