The cable channel ABC Family has changed the disclaimer at the end of its telecasts of the Christian Broadcasting Network's (CBN) The 700 Club. The disclaimer now reads, The cable channel ABC Family has changed the disclaimer at the end of its telecasts of the Christian Broadcasting Network's (CBN) The 700 Club. The disclaimer now reads, "The preceding CBN telecast does not reflect the views of ABC Family." On August 26, ABC Family's post-700 Club graphic read "The proceeding program was brought to you by CBN." The new disclaimer appeared on August 29 following host Pat Robertson's call on August 22 for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez:

ABC Family." On August 26, ABC Family's post-700 Club graphic read "The proceeding program was brought to you by CBN." The new disclaimer appeared on August 29 following host Pat Robertson's call on August 22 for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

(Seems a rather weak disclaimer. I would have gone with something more like ""The preceding CBN telecast does not reflect the views of anyone with at least two neural synapses to rub together.")
