So does that mean they are expanding into the U.S. because that channel was in Europe.

I think it is the opposite... From what I have been told they are a (start up?) religious program..

I am just curious if this may be the individuals "in negotiations" with ORU regarding their TV operations.?

Would make a good fit, although it looks like this channel has higher production values and more lively programming than what ORU puts out currently (only time I've seen their channel they were doing "cooking with jesus" or something like that.)

Not to mention, the scottish rite building is the best free billboard in Tulsa.

Great, more religious fundamentalism.  That's the kind of thing that will keep most of my peers from ever moving back to Tulsa.

^Disagree.  Religious fundamentalists don't bother me when I'm socializing at a Brookside establishment or jogging on the river.  Any young person making a decision based on geographic proximity of conservative Christians has got issues that Tulsa can't begin to address.

Floyd, you'd be surprised how many people disregard the region on that very basis.   Perception is not always reality, in this instance the perception based on reports about ORU, rejecting the  Koran, creationist exhibits at the zoo... is too often that all of Tulsa is a religiously fundamentalist and intolerant pit of ignorance.  Clearly I know better, but you'd be surprised at how many people harbor such sentiments.

Likewise, how many fundamentalists think San Francisco is a bunch of gay men running around doing horrible things all day long?  Stupid people abound.

Cannon Fodder, I couldn't have said it better myself.  The perception of a city is what attracts people, whether it's accurate or not.  The problem with Tulsa is that the perceived negative attributes of the city are usually the only things making headlines.

James Moore is also the one that bought Carlton Pierce building and owns a direct mail business that collects donations for all the preachers who are in the news for cheating all the time. I think you are correct in the ORU thinking, but a step further is that Richard Roberts wont bail out, James Moore will just hold it for him and he will still be calling the shots, I have knowledge of a lot of this going on with the preachers in this town and others.
