Specifically, close to three-quarters of those surveyed said: they were “often” offended by sexual imagery and sexual dialogue on TV (84%) they were “often” offended by scenes of violence on TV (74%, plus an additional 23% “occasionally”) they were “occasionally” or “often” offended by sexual dialogue on radio (37%, 38%) the media “rarely” portray Christians with fairness (69%) CBC TV and CBC Radio do not carry sufficient levels of religious programming (79% and 68% respectively) want the “threshold hour” for more adult programming, currently at 9 p.m., pushed back to 10 p.m. or later (85%). Virtually all respondents agreed that “having access to Christian television or radio stations” is “important” or “very important” (42%, 56%). Only two percent said such access is not important.
