The world of entertainment is getting bigger and smaller at the same time with satellite tv. It is getting bigger as more and more programs are created to fill the growing number of channels available. It is getting smaller by creating channels that speak to specific viewer demographics and niches that provide a more personalized television viewing experience. One such example of this is LOGO, the channel created specifically to cater to the LGBT community and their allies. This is a channel that is only possible because of the expansion of options allowed by satellite tv, yet it is a channel that is so specific that it makes LGBT folk feel like they have a place all their own in the world of entertainment options. This is no small thing to a community of people that is often pushed aside and marginalized, even in the entertainment industry.

This is the first channel of its kind to provide unique and original programming meant to entertain the LGBT community. It has a number of shows that are popular on LOGO and on other mainstream channels. This goes to show that the world is changing little by little to be more inclusive. Here are a few of the shows that can be found on LOGO and other satellite tv channels that are of interest to the LGBT communities.
