WE HAVE A "NETWORK" THAT HAS A CEO THAT CONTINUES TO LIE AND LIE AND LIE ABOUT THIS COMPANY. DO A RE-READ OF THE PRESS RELEASES AND YOU WILL SEE A CONTINOUS DELAY AND PROMISE AFTER PROMISE ABOUT SO MANY THINGS. SOME ARE AS FOLLOWS:1. THEY HIRED A ACCOUNTING FIRM TO DO A CERTIFIED SHARE COUNT WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETED MONTHS AGO. THE ACCOUNTING FIRM WAS NEVER NAMED AND WE HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A SHARE COUNT. UNLESS YOU HAVE A CERTIFIED SHARE COUNT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EVEN ESTIMATE THE SHARE COUNT. FURTHER, A BUYBACK WAS STATED TO WHICH HAS NEVER COME TO LIGHT.
1 A: CONTINUED. IT HAS COME TO LIGHT THAT THERE WAS A NEW ISSUE OF SHARES TO TOTAL THE SHARE COUNT AT 50 BILLION OUTSTANDING SHARES. AROUND FEB 2004, A PR RELEASE STATED WE HAD A TOTAL OF 15 BILLION SHARES. TRIANGLE MULTI-MEDIA IS THE PARENT COMPANY OF Q-TV AND THE ISSUED SHARE COUNT IS 50 BILLION.
2. FRANK OLSEN HAS RELEASED CONTINOUS PR WHICH WILL STATE INFO SUCH AS "THINGS TO COME" OR "THINGS ARE GOING GREAT". WE ARE GIVEN SPECIFICS SUCH AS WE'LL TELL YOU NEXT WEEK, ETC. ONLY TO NEVER SUCH ANY OF THE INFORMATION MATERALIZE.
3. THERE IS NO 10-YEAR DEAL WITH TIME WARNER. WE WERE TOLD THERE IS BUT THERE ISN'T. WE WERE TOLD WE WERE GIVEN A HUNTING LICENSE BUT THIS IS MISLEADING ON IT'S FACE AND BOTTOM LINE, THERE IS NO DEAL WITH TIME WARNER.
4. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE "SOFT" LAUNCH WAS TO BEGIN ON A CERTAIN DATE. A PRESS RELEASE WAS GIVEN GIVING A DIFFERENT DATE. THE STOCK PRICE PLUMMETED FROM .012+ TO .005 IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER THAT PRESS RELEASE. I AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS FILED S.E.C. COMPLAINTS AND FRANK ISSUED A PR IMMEDIATELY AT 3PM WHICH CORRECTED THE MIS-INFORMATION AND THE STOCK PRICE ROSE BACK UP TO .011+.
5. WE ARE TOLD IN A PRESS RELEASE THAT WE HAVE SECURED FINANCING TO SECURE 5-YEARS OF BROADCAST. FEW WEEKS LATER, ANOTHER PR WAS DONE REFERENCING A $2 MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT FROM A MAJOR INVESTMENT FIRM BUT THE "FIRM" IS NEVER IDENTIFIED WITH THE OPTION OF $1 MILLION DOLLAR LOAN WHICH HAS SECURED OUR BROADCAST. FOLLOWED JUST RECENTLY THAT WE OBTAINED A $1 MILLION DOLLARS WHICH HAS SECURED OUR 1ST YEAR BROADCAST.
6. WE HIRED A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL (Michael Markovsky) WHO WAS GOING TO ASSIST WITH HIS BACKGROUND IN TELEVISION ONLY TO DISCOVER HE WAS SUBJECT TO 2 FAILED TELEVISION STATIONS AND A FRAUD INDICTMENT. FRANK STATED HE LEARNED MORE FROM THIS GUY IN 1-DAY THEN IN THE PAST 5-YEARS FROM EVERYONE ELSE. WELL LET'S SAY THIS GUY WAS SO VERY KNOWLEDGABLE, WHY ISN'T HE STILL AROUND?
7. FRANK POSTS THAT WE HAVE 100,000 CALLS PER A 2-MONTH PERIOD ON THE 800 HOTLINE AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR 100,000 CALLS TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE VIA THE HOTLINE.
8. WE HAVE A "DEAL" WITH NETWORK TELEPORTS TO TEST OUR SOFT LAUNCH ON C-BAND (BIG SATELLITE DISHES) AND WE SEEN 1-PROGRAM WITH 2 OTHERS REPORTED FOR THE ENTIRE TIME THIS "SOFT" LAUNCH TOOK PLACE. FURTHER, SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE SIGNAL COULD NOT BE FOUND.
9. WE BOAST BARBARA LAMONT WHO IS PRESIDENT OF NETWORK TELEPORTS AT ONE TIME TO PUSH OUR SIGNAL AND WE HAVE NO NETWORK TELEPORTS TO DATE. FURTHER, NETWORK TELEPORTS IS DELEGATED FOR THE TELECONFERENCING AND PRIVATE SECTOR, NOT THE PUBLIC SECTOR FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
10. WE ARE TOLD THAT THE LOCAL WORK FOR Q-TV SHALL BE "SUB-CONTRACTED" OUT TO THE LOCAL STATIONS WHERE NEWS IS HAPPENING. TO DATE, NOT A SINGLE LOCAL NETWORK HAS BEEN RETAINED.
11. WE ARE TOLD Q-MOBILES AND THIS IS ANOTHER LIE.
12. REGARDING OUR "SOFT" LAUNCH, THIS WAS FOR VIEWING BY THE ADVERTISERS TO SEE WHAT Q-TV IS ALL ABOUT. FURTHER, NOT A SINGLE ADVERTISERS HAS BEEN CONTRACTED. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS A FEW WEB-PAGE ADS ON THE Q-TV WEBSITE AND OF THOSE ADVERTISERS, THEY BRING NO CREDIBILITY TO Q-TV AS A "REAL" STATION.
13. RCN, THE CARRIER OF CHOICE HAS 500,000 OR LESS SUBSCRIBERS, IS IN BANKRUPTCY, HAS A RECORDED HISTORY OF PROMOTING STATIONS IT DOES NOT POSSESS AND HAS A 2.2 MILLION DOLLAR JUDGEMENT AGAINST THEM. THEY HAD TO SELL PARTS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS TO BRING UP CASH. THEIR STOCK IS DOWN FROM $70 TO PENNIES WITH 7,000 EMPLOYEE'S REDUCED TO LESS THAN 2,000.
14. THE ABSOLUTE ONLY CONFIRMATION WE HAVE ABOUT Q-TV IS RCN WHICH IS A FINANCIAL MESS ITSELF.
15. WITH ALL THE HOOPLA GOING ON IN THE MEDIA REGARDING GAYS/MARRIAGE, WE HAVE NOT A OUNCE OF EVIDENCE REGARDING Q-TV. ALL THE WAY FROM YOUR MAJOR CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS TO THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS AND NOT A PEEP ABOUT Q-TV.
15 A. VIACOM MAKES AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THEY WILL LAUNCH A GAY NETWORK NEXT YEAR AND IT'S NEWS ALL OVER, JOKES ON MORNING RADIO. BUT Q-TV WHICH HAS "LAUNCHED" ACCORDING TO FRANK OLSEN BUT HAS NOT A OUNCE OF PUBLICITY.
16. RCN, THE MAJOR AND FIRST CARRIER OF OUR "SIGNAL" HAS NOT A SINGLE SHRED OF EVIDENCE ON THEIR WEBSITE. THEY DO HAVE INFO REGARDING THE VIDEO GAME SPLINTCELL BUT NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT Q-TV.
17. WE NOW HAVE ANOTHER DELAY BEING OVER THE NEXT 45 DAYS WE WILL ROLL OUT 10% AND 20% PROGRAMMING. WELL WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 70% AND FURTHER, WHO THE HECK IS GOING TO SUBSCRIBE TO Q-TV FOR $7.95/MONTH WHEN RCN IS TELLING NO ONE ABOUT IT, THEY HAVE NO INFO ON THEIR WEBSITE ABOUT IT AND IF SOMEONE DOES ASK, Q-TV IS NOT A "REAL" STATION DUE TO THEY ARE "ROLLING OUT" OVER THE NEXT 45-DAYS.
18. THE ONLY PEOPLE FOR THE MOST PART WHO KNOW ABOUT Q-TV ARE THOSE OF YOU RIGHT HERE ON A MESSAGE BOARD. 250,000 HITS ON THE Q WEBSITE ARE FROM THOSE OF YOU CHECKING OUT TO SEE IT. THE GENERAL PUBLIC KNOWS NOTTA ABOUT Q-TV.
19. WE HAVE NOT ONE SINGLE AD IN ANY MAJOR PUBLICATION PROCLAIMING THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT Q-TELEVISION. GENERAL MOTORS, AMERICAN EXPRESS AND THE COUNTLESS OTHERS OUT THERE IN YOUR MAJOR GAY MAGAZINES ARE ADVERTISING BUT THE LANDMARK Q-TELEVISION, LEADING THE WAY INTO THE 21ST CENTURY WITH GAY TV ISNT' IN THERE?
20. WE HAVE SPECIAL INCENTIVES FOR ADVERTISERS WITH Q-TV FOR THE FIRST YEAR. DAY 1 OF "BROADCAST" AND GUESS WHAT, NOT A SINGLE ADVERTISER. IT'S ONLY BEEN 3 MONTHS OR SO FOR THEM TO FIND SOME ADVERTISERS BUT WE HAVE NONE.
21. WE HAVE PEOPLE ON THE MESSAGE BOARD CALLING RCN AND BEING TOLD THAT Q-TV WONT BE BROADCASTING UNTIL OCTOBER.

ok I just called RCN at 1-800-746-4726 and asked if Q Television Network was on the air yet and if so where... the lady came back and said "actually we are not going to be airing Q television until early Oct."
22. WE HAVE A "MAJOR" ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PICKING UP A FEW FLICKS FROM WARNER BRO'S. WELL 2 WERE NEVER RELEASED AND 3 WERE FLOPS. BUT WE ARE TOLD THEY ARE SOME OF THE GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME. PRIOR TO THIS, WE ARE TOLD WE HAVE 2-ROOMS FULL OF PROGRAMMING.
22 A. WE ARE TOLD THAT THESE MOVES HAVE A WORTH OF $700,000. FLAT OUT LIE AND VERY HUMOROUS.
23. FRANK TELLS US VIA PR THAT 50,000 INQUIRES HAVE COME ABOUT REGARDING Q-TV. WELL FOLKS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR Q-TV TO HANDLE 50,000 INQUIRIES AND WITH THE SMALL STAFF THEY DO HAVE, THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO HANDLE 300 INQUIRIES. FURTHER, REMEMBER THAT WE HAD 100,000 HOTLINE CALLS FOR THE SAKE OF THIS I'LL SAY HAPPENED WHEN I KNOW THEY NEVER DID TAKE PLACE, BUT BETWEEN THE 50,000 INQUIRIES AND THE 100,000 PHONE CALLS, WELL THERE IS YOUR 150,000 FIRST YEAR CUSTOMERS. TOO BAD IT'S ALL A MAJOR LIE; THERE IS NO 50,000 INQUIRIES AND THERE IS NO 100,000 HOTLINE CALLS.
24. WE ARE TOLD ABOUT A NY CITY OFFICE WHILE THERE IS NO FILINGS WITH NY CITY FOR OCCUPATIONAL LICENSES OR ANY OTHER BUSINESS LICENSES FOR OPERATION IN NY CITY FOR Q-TELEVISION. THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER AND NOTHING ON 411. ADDITIONALLY, NO OFFICE IS NEEDED IN NY CITY SINCE WE ARE LOCATED IN PALM SPRINGS, CA. REGARDLESS, THE NY CITY OFFICE DOESN'T EXIST. I CAN PUT A Q-TV SIGN ON MY CONDO DOOR BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN Q-TV IS LOCATED IN TAMPA BAY FLORIDA.
25. FRANK TELLS US THAT EXECUTIVES HAVE MADE GREAT INROADS IN FIRMING UP NETWORK CARRIAGE AND MAKING NEW APPOINTMENTS FOR CARRIAGE. NOPE, WE GOT RCN WHICH IS A FINANCIAL MESS.
26. WE HAVE A HOTLINE TO TAKE CALLS TO UPDATE SHAREHOLDERS WHICH IS NO LONGER USED.
27. A MAGIC MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE Q-TV WEBSITE TELLING US THE Q-TV OFFICES ARE MOVING ONLY TO SHORTLY HAVE THAT INFORMATION REMOVED.
28. IN A RECENT PRESS RELEASE, WE ARE NOW TOLD WE HAVE BOUGHT A NEW BUILDING AND THE CURRENT BUILDING WE ARE RENTING IN LAS VEGAS, FORTH WORTH, NEW ORLEANS AND PALM SPRINGS. THIS IS THE FIRST MENTION OF RENTING STUDIO SPACE ACROSS THE COUNTY AND IS NOT TRUE.
29. WE HIRE THE PR FIRM OF DAVENEY TO HANDLE MEDIA RELATIONS. WE ARE TOLD THEY HAVE WORKED FOR DISNEY, VIACOM AS WELL AS OTHER LARGE WELL RECOGNIZED CORPORATIONS. IN THE MEAN TIME, PR WAS RELEASED BY OTHER THAN DEVENEY WHILE THEY WERE HIRED TO SPECIFICALLY HIRED TO DO THAT TASK. JUST RECENTLY, WE NOW CHANGE TO RUBENSTEIN AND ARE TOLD THEY HAVE HANDLED COMPANIES LIKE SONY MUSIC, NEW YORK YANKEES, LIFETIME TELEVISION, ETC.
30. WE ARE TOLD WE HAVE EXCLUSIVE BROADCAST RIGHTS TO THE INTERNATIONAL GAY AND LESBIAN AQUATICS AND NOT A SINGLE MENTION ON THAT WEBSITE TO LOOK FOR BROADCAST ON Q-TV. FURTHER, THIS AQUATIC EVENT IS MADE TO LOOK "SIMILIAR" TO THE OLYMPICS WHEN THE TRUE VIEWER BASE IS NIL TO NONE.
31. THERE IS NO SIGNAL IN SAN FRANCISCO AT THE CURRENT MOMENT BECAUSE AS PER THE PR FRANK RELEASED: "WE APOLOGIZE TO OUR LOYAL VIEWERS" AND WE HAVE MOVED THE SIGNAL FROM LOUISIANA TO FIRESTONE COMMUNICATIONS.
32. FRANK RELEASES THAT THEY MOVED THE SIGNAL FROM LOUISIANA TO TEXAS TO FIRESTONE AND SAYS TESTING WENT FINE BUT THEY BLAME THE CURRENT PROBLEMS ON THE WEATHER. IRONICALLY, A HURRICANE (IVAN) WAS SCHEDULED TO HIT THE LOUISIANA AREA. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH NETWORK TELEPORTS (BARBARA LAMONT) WITH ANY OF THEIR SIGNALS BUT FRANK TELLS US THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE Q-SIGNAL AND WE HAVE TO MOVE.
33. IN A RECENT INTERVIEW, FRANK OLSEN GOES ON TO TELL US HE'S WORKING 18-HRS PER DAY AND 7-DAYS PER WEEK. FACTS ARE THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE JUST LIKE THE 50,000 INQUIRES THAT WERE HANDLES BY 6 EMPLOYEES AND 100,000 HOTLINE CALLS. MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY REASONABLE. SATURDAY, NOT SO LIKELY AND FURTHER SUNDAY, NO BUSINESS FUNCTIONS. MORE LIES. FURTHER, HE GOES ON TO EXPLAIN
34. FRANK TELLS US THAT ADVERTISERS ARE THE HARDEST PART. WELL WITH A 24-HR STATION THAT IS A P.P.V (PAY-PER VIEW $7.95/MONTH) LIKE HBO, WHAT ADVERTISERS DO YOU NEED AND FURTHER, HOW TO YOU ADVERTISE ON A P.P.V. STATION. THE REASON YOU PAY FOR A STATION IS TO AVOID COMMERCIALS. FURTHER, WITH ALL THESE HIGHLY EDUCATED GAY/LESBIAN PEOPLE, ARE THEY THAT STUPID TO PAY FOR A CHANNEL TO WATCH COMMERCIALS/ADVERTISERS?
35. FRANK TELLS US IT'S HARD TO PICK UP ADVERTISERS BECAUSE ADVERTISERS "don't want to pick up one gay person and lose two Christians." IN THE NEXT SENTENCE, THEY TELL US THERE IS 500-700 BILLION DOLLARS IN MONEY OUT THERE WITH THE GAY COMMUNITY. FRANK DID NOT MENTION THAT IN THE MAJOR GAY PUBLICATIONS ARE HUNDREDS OF BIG NAME ADVERTSIERS (GENERAL MOTORS, AMERICAN EXPRESS) WHO DON'T SEEM TO BE CONCERNED WITH LOSING ANY CHRISTIANS. FURTHER, ALL MAJOR NETWORKS HAVE GAY PROGRAMMING WHICH IS THE HOT TOPIC IN TV BESIDES REALITY PROGRAMMING AND WE DON'T SEE ADVERTISERS RUNNING THERE NOW DO WE?
36. FURTHER, FRANK OLSEN WANTS $150,000 TO $200,000 TO ADVERTISE ON Q-TV PER YEAR. HOW DO YOU CONVINCE A ADVERTISER WHEN YOU HAVE ZERO SUBSCRIBERS, NO PUBLICITY, NO NOTTA THAT IT'S A BENEFIT TO SPEND $200,000 ON YOUR STATION? FURTHER, WHY KIND OF ADVERTISING WILL THEY GET FOR $200,000? NOW ADD NO. 1 THRU NO. 35 OF THIS LIST.
37. WITH NO SUBSCRIBER BASE AND NO STATION UP AND RUNNING, "Q Television will spend $370,00 a month for outside programming and $200,000 on production. The network will charge $7.95 a month to subscribers with a goal of attracting 150,000 subscribers during its first year, and it will charge between $150,000 and $200,000 to advertisers for yearly advertising packages."
$370,000 + $200,000 + $33,000 IS $603,000 PER MONTH OR $7,236,000 PER YEAR. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COSTS OVER THE PAST 4-YEARS OF OPERATION WHERE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED SINCE FAILED LAUNCH IN 2000. OPERATING EXPENSES AT $33,000/MONTH FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS IS $1,584,000. 150,000 SUBSCRIBERS AT $7.95/MONTH IS $1,192,500 FOR 1-YEAR IS $14,310,000. LET'S NOT FORGET RCN GETS A CUT FOR PUTTING OUT THE SIGNAL. 30-50% IS THE INDUSTRY AVERAGE SO 30% IS $4,293,000 PAID TO RCN FOR THE SIGNAL BROADCAST LEAVING AT THE ABSOLUTELY VERY BEST AROUND $3 MILLION DOLLARS AND THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE VERY BEST. NOW WHAT ABOUT THE "LOANS" THAT HAVE TO BE REPAYED (5-YEAR GUARANTEED FINANCING FOLLOWED BY $2 MILLION DOLLARS AND DON'T FORGET TO ADD WHERE THE OPERATING EXPESES CAME FROM OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS) ON A COMPANY WITH 50-BILLION OUTSTANDING SHARES.
THE FACTS AS THEY ARE HEREIN ARE UNDISPUTED.
