Nearly 25 percent of the nation's 1,411 television stations now have full- time religious programming, according to the 1989 Directory of Religious Broadcasting. That reflects a 30 percent jump over 1988. This doesn't count the three religious television networks, including Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, or the hundreds of stations that carry some religious programming. Of the nation's 10,546 radio stations, 1,485 or 14 percent, are Christian stations — a 7 percent increase over 1988. Dwarfing the impact of U.S. radio stations is the worldwide network of evangelical ministries that preaches to Third World countries via shortwave radio. From high in the Andes mountains in Quito, Ecuador, HCJB World Radio — which stands for Heralding Christ Jesus' Blessings — uses its combined 1-million-watt shortwave power of several transmitter stations to broadcast 24 hours a day to 80 percent of the globe.

Someone is voting like mad, and it ain't one of my partisans. The naked dude is passing me by and increasing his lead.
Vote for Pharyngula (and remember, you can vote every day!). Unless you really want to read my bitter, whiny concession speech.
>P.S. Another neck-and-neck race is shaping up in the Best Educational Blog category—quick, get over there and vote for Bérubé, or there will be more show trials!

As of 1:10pm CST, Pharyngul and Bad Astronomy were neck and neck, tied at 6183. I've been doing my part, canvassing the neighborhood, trying to "get out the vote". But the most common responses to my efforts are "What's a pharyngula?" and "What's an internet?"

I've just been over there Byron, and BA hasn't budged a vote but Pharyngula's now in the 625x region.

Just voted and PZ is in front by ~100. Maybe us voters should try to see how close we can get the result to a tie!

Hey PZ - you may be amused to know you're being compared to Phelps on Skatje's blog. ;)

Well, as of 3:48 EST your up by over one hundred.

Oh no! He's gaining up again! as of 7:57 PM EST, pharyngula is only ONE vote!
Man, it's races like these that really get people out to vote :P

that should read:
"pharyngula is only WINNING by ONE vote!"

The Bad Egg Balancer is now winning. Again.

Eggs standing up are much prettier than eggs clutched.
It's a race to the finish! This is exciting!
