Flatscreen in the breakfast area, mounted into the wall so you couldn't channel surf, no remote in sight, showing a Southern Baptist sermon on a local cable access channel. I'm not so thin-skinned that I'd find some random sermon offensive; I just thought it was an unusual choice for a hotel lobby. I think if I owned a hotel, I'd go with CNN, ESPN, and maybe a financial channel. I'd probably stay way from MSNBC, Fox News, TBN, etc. I'm sure opinions will vary here, but it's a peeve of mine.
