Q Television Network Signal Terminated May 25, 2006 9:16:00 AM BURBANK, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/25/06 -- Triangle Multi-Media Limited (PINKSHEETS: QBID) and its wholly owned subsidiary the Q Television Network (QTN) announced today that Q Television Network is no more. Effective 5:30pm Central time, the Q Television Network signal broadcasting programming was shut down. Previously, the entire Q Television Network staff had been terminated.
Chairman and CEO Lloyd Fan stated that he was unable to secure funding for the network and therefore unable to meet the financial obligations of the company. "When I took over control of the network on March 7, 2006, the company was roughly 7 million dollars behind in payments to vendors; numerous lawsuits had been filed against the company and over $600,000 was owed to former employees. The financial challenges that the network faced proved too difficult and I was simply unable to turn around the network." Mr. Fan added, "Given the GLBT demographic and the success the network had experienced in distribution, I thought securing funding would be easy -- I was wrong. I am deeply disappointed that the network failed. Many talented people devoted themselves to saving the network and it is sad that it has come to this end.
"I would like to thank the cable affiliates, our uplink provider, all the vendors and the staff that supported my takeover. I had hoped to make good on all the debts incurred and owed by the former management team and truly thought that the new team, with proper funding, could make Q Television Network a success. My sincere apologies to all individuals and businesses that have suffered because of their affiliation with Q Television Network." A full forensic accounting and bankruptcy proceedings will follow.

This was one of the first long term stocks I ever bought. So many opportunies to make so much money. Instead of buying and selling. I just held. Always with the delusions, making 100's of 1,000's of dollars.

Thankfully mine were free shares too from '04. Still showing a paper loos is OK, that is if I have any gains enough to offset when I bought back in.
Anyway, lets focus on the next possible big one, does anyone have any good picks for 06??

So Lloydster is filing bankruptcy for QTN. Does that mean we still own TMM? LOL! Remember QTN and TMM are registered as two diff companies. QTN has 75k shares registered. We have always only owned TMM, what's the bid deal? With or without QTN the QBID stock is valued at .0000 for the longest time anyways. Good riddance!
I wonder what scam Frankie and Lloyd are dreaming up next? These SCAMSTERS will surface again, under different aliases... mark my words.

If those clowns surface again MAKE SURE that their sordid past is passed on to the new 'investors'.

wow so no cheezecake? i had given up a while ago psychologically about this ever working out but i always remained optimistic about eating cake and gambling our hearts away in vegas together. oh well many of us were suckered and learned big lessons. i sure did. i wish you all the best and my heart goes out to those that suffered during this adventure. i will continue to follow this company until i see it no longer in my account.
i am not suggesting anyone to buy but i will admit i couldnt help myself and i am into bkmp for 10 million. yet another tv station ehehe. my rational is if one was a scam maybe the next will be for real. i can assure you all though when i get up on a micro i SELL. let the freebees ride but going all in and waiting is obviously a painful experience more often then not in pinky land. once again best of luck to you all and let the drama continue right suzieq haha.
