8/17/2005 - Q Television Signs Deal with Cox Communications
Q Television Network Signs an Agreement with Cox Communication
August 17, 2005 -- Q Television Network (OTCBB Other: QBID), the first 24/7 premium network for the gay and lesbian community, which will be celebrating its one-year anniversary on September 5th, has signed a licensing agreement with Atlanta-based Cox Communications Inc. The nation’s third-largest cable operator will offer its cable systems access to QTN as a premium 24/7 network with video on demand (VOD) capabilities.
“We are thrilled to be selected by Cox Communications as a premium channel in its television line-up,” said Frank Olsen, President, CEO and Founder of Q Television Network. “We applaud Cox's commitment to diversity, and appreciate its recognition of the need to service and give voice to the gay community.”
QTN will be seen as a premium channel available 24-hours 7 days per week with a complementary video on demand (VOD) offering for those who sign up to receive the channel. Q Television offers the GLBT audience premium programming that is diverse, original and live. Currently, Q broadcasts 3½ hours of live programming per night with its original show “On Q Live.” Q Television prides itself on bringing the GLBT community the action as it happens, and recently broadcast 4 parades simultaneously during a 24-hour live marathon from 7 cities.

REFLECTIONS OF A CEO
July 29, 2005
To Our Valued Shareholders:
As CEO of a company that has planned gay television for four years, I am now privileged enough to have seen gay television on the air for almost a year. What brings this to mind is that the talent, production people and support staff of the station are now getting ready for the new season.
Last year at this time we had no shows that we produced ourselves - we used tapes that we had purchased, and the station had no identity. Even though we had been in planning, there was no "QTN". Today, everyone in the cable industry knows about Q Television, and most of them know that we have gay programming available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with up to 30 hours of live programming and at least 40% of original programming.
Our first anniversary is approaching quickly. We have come a long way since the taping of "Q on the Move" and the hiring of our first talent: Chrisanne Eastwood, Jack E. Jett, Scott Withers and Nick Oram. These are huge milestones that have been reached. Admittedly, mistakes have been made, but the best decision we ever made was to support the gay community in whatever they do, such as events, parades, etc.
We are the official broadcaster of the Gay Games, as well as a major sponsor. As I look at the budget for the next 18 months, I believe that, because of that decision, Q Television is going to be profitable faster than most cable stations. The norm for most cable stations is they are not profitable within their first 3-5 years. However, when they start the turnaround, the profits are unbelievable. When an independent station is sold, the rewards are enormous. Here are several examples of stations that were sold for billions of dollars: American Movie Channel, Bravo and other Black entertainment channels.
This brings me back to the main point. The Gay Games will enable Q Television to be in 150 of the top markets in the United States, and it will be broadcast in 40 countries. It has enabled Q Television to make long term commitments to the countries that are carrying the Gay Games, and help us to negotiate the cable operator contracts. As I reflect further, I believe that Q Television will be profitable by the end of the 2nd quarter of 2006.
The stock is down, and I blame myself for that because I haven't shown the shareholders where Q Television has been and where it is today. We are going to produce a DVD specifically for the shareholders to walk them through the history and the future of Q Television. Those shareholders who are interested, can contact Rich Brown at staff@equityrelations.com to obtain a copy.
We will be doing a shareholders’ meeting which we hope to schedule in late summer or early fall. We are aiming to make the meeting interactive so it is viewable from certain hotels in subscriber areas. I will be doing the meeting from the studio in Burbank where there will be room for an audience of 200 people. Shareholders will be able to ask questions through an 800 number and through email. Every question that pertains to QTN will be answered. If you tune in late, you can request a video copy to be sent to you. I am excited to offer our shareholders an opportunity to talk to me directly during this call. Please send an email to Rich Brown (staff@equityrelations.com) if you are interested in participating in the meeting and/or with questions you have.
Regards,
Frank Olsen
President and CEO

QBID is not a reporting company... FACT... find any financial reports they have made to the SEC in the last few years. QBID Will never be a reporting company... speculation... but amazingly accurate speculation. The best they will ever do is to move to the OTCBB... They won't ever move to AMEX or the NAZ as both exchanges require too much accountability and net worth... QBID can't do it anytime soon. But we'll see when this now infamous audit is presented.... when was it due out again?

bashing? A thousand? two threads is not a thousand. I fail to see how reality based logic can be construed as bashing. Unless ofcourse you have been blinded by your emotional delusions about a stock you should have never fallen in love with.

You're definitely basher quality, thick and stupid. Let me guess, you got a new crystal ball and it has a short in it. If there is one thing that is for sure, you are an alias from one of the other idiots that posts the same crap. You spew the same analogy almost word for word. I will ask you seeing as you think you know everything, where is your proof?
By the way, blindness is not an impairment dumba$$. The blind can see more than fools do such as yourself!

The blind are not impaired? Yeah who needs all that awareness? Buckwheat... we already discussed my motivation and we concluded that I am incapable of shorting this or any other pinksheets stock. Save your irrational aggression for someone who is impressed by it. Now run along .
