Showtime Networks Creates Multi-Million Dollar Advertising, Publicity and Marketing Campaign To Support Season Four of 'Queer As Folk'

Motorola On Board As Exclusive Six-City Event Sponsor;
Cast to Attend All Screenings

New Ad Campaign Debuts Week of March 22

NEW YORK, March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- In a move emphasizing its commitment to
the QUEER AS FOLK series franchise, SHOWTIME has mounted a multi-million
dollar, multi-faceted advertising, publicity and marketing campaign to support
the return of the network's groundbreaking drama, which premieres its fourth
season on Sunday, April 18 at 10 PM (ET/PT). For the first time in the history
of SHOWTIME, the network has partnered with Motorola as the exclusive sponsor
along with SHOWTIME key cable partners to host preview screening events in six
major U.S. markets including Miami, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles
and San Francisco. In addition, the premium network's media campaign rollout
will include cable TV, mainstream and gay publications, outdoor advertising,
cross promotion with the Third Season DVD tour, a multi-city nightclub/DJ tour
and promotion on the SHOWTIME QAF fansite at SHO.com. In measured media
alone, the campaign is generating over 200 million impressions, which does not
include all the targeted gay and lesbian tactics.
"QUEER AS FOLK is one of SHOWTIME's signature series, and we're polishing
our marketing efforts to reflect how resonant the characters and their issues
have become since its premiere in 2000," said Robert Greenblatt, President,
Entertainment for Showtime Networks. "And, it is the perfect opportunity to
celebrate with our cable affiliates and a prestigious sponsor like Motorola."
Motorola, a global leader in wireless and broadband communications, has
enjoyed a long association with both the producers and cast of QUEER AS FOLK
throughout the show's tenure. The company has signed on as exclusive sponsor
of the multi-city premiere tour to demonstrate its support of diverse
programming such as QUEER AS FOLK and its many viewers.
"Motorola is pleased to support SHOWTIME in the launch of the 4th season
of QUEER AS FOLK, said Robert Williams, General Manager PCS Retail and co-
leader GLBT Business Council of Motorola. "This sponsorship provides a unique
manner for our company to not only reach a key demographic but to also educate
our consumers on the importance of diverse programming."
The six events, hosted by Showtime Networks' Chairman Matthew Blank and
Entertainment President Bob Greenblatt, are being platformed to draw media and
consumer attention to the fourth season's 14 new episodes. The new season
will emphasize the maturation of the series' main characters and storylines
focusing on parenting and adoption issues, gay marriage, drug addiction, HIV
and discrimination. Richard Licata, Executive Vice President, Entertainment
Public Relations for Showtime Networks, and his team are spearheading the six-
city market outreach and publicity for this season's launch.
The event schedule is as follows:

March 26th - Miami - Delano
March 31st - New York - Gramercy Park Hotel in the Cobalt Club
April 2nd - Chicago - Sidetrack
April 7th - San Francisco - Castro Theatre and Redwood Room and Asia de
Cuba at Clift
April 8th - Atlanta - Red Chair
April 14th - Los Angeles - Regent Theatre and Asia de Cuba at Mondrian

In addition, cable affiliates in selected markets have contributed over
one million in advertising to support the launch of the 4th season of QUEER AS
FOLK.
The April 7th Castro Theatre event in San Francisco will have a unique
promotional component: SHOWTIME will bring together the gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgender communities, screening the season opening episode of QUEER AS
FOLK in addition to the season finale of the new hit drama THE L WORD. Working
in collaboration with the San Francisco-based organization Bay Area Community
of Women (BACW), the city's news-making recently-married gay couples will be
special guests.
Stephanie Gibbons, Senior Vice President, Advertising and Promotion for
Showtime Networks spearheaded a new advertising campaign for the series,
highlighted by images from photographer Norman Jean Roy. The key artwork
features the cast communicating the interrelationships of the characters and
the intertwining layers of their stories. In addition, new taglines have been
developed, including "The original comes of age," "Get Folked," "Damn
Straight" and "So Gay." "The original comes of age" slogan reflects the
series' new emphasis on deepening character development, and also reinforces
that QUEER AS FOLK was the groundbreaker in the current wave of gay-themed
programming. The tagline "Get Folked" assertively tells the viewer to tune-in
to a new season, but it also lets them know that QUEER AS FOLK is still sexy,
edgy and provocative, even though its characters are maturing.
SHOWTIME plans to run advertising on cable networks including MTV and VH1.
National print advertising will appear in general market and entertainment
publications including Entertainment Weekly, US Weekly, Vanity Fair,
Cosmopolitan, Details, Jane, Interview, Paper, New York Magazine, Cargo and
MTV Magazine and alternative newspapers such as Village Voice. Tune-in ads
will also appear in the national TV Guide, along with TV supplements in New
York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Print ads will also appear in gay
targeted outlets such as The Advocate, Curve, Genre, Girlfriends, Out,
Instinct, Passport, Metro Source and Pride 04 as well as in gay/lesbian
newspapers in the top 10 markets. The network will also support QUEER AS FOLK
through outdoor advertising via billboards and bus shelters in New York and
Los Angeles.
SHOWTIME also recently completed a promotional tour for the launch of the
QUEER AS FOLK third season on DVD. Cast members made appearances at music and
video stores in New Orleans, Dallas, Boston, Cambridge, Philadelphia and
Lawrenceville, NJ. To promote the Season Three DVD signings, each market was
saturated with radio and newspaper ads, and supported by local radio contests.
Showtime Networks and Embrace Productions will join together to bring
QUEER AS FOLK to life by recreating Babylon, the vibrant club scene featured
in the series, through a 15-city DJ tour entitled "Midori Presents Queer As
Folk - Future Babylon Tour." The tour will take place in the spring and summer
of 2004 at the hottest nightclubs across the United States, and will feature
popular and forward-thinking DJs who have appeared in QUEER AS FOLK episodes.
In each venue, Embrace and Showtime reinterpret what Babylon may look like in
the year 2050.
QUEER AS FOLK is also being supported by its own comprehensive Web site,
which boasts an extremely strong and loyal message board community. Viewers
who enter the site will be treated to comprehensive episode guides with weekly
teaser video clips. Additionally, the site boasts extensive behind-the-scenes
content, downloadable screen savers, event listings with cast appearances and
links to various community resources for the gay and lesbian community. Fans
can also register for regular e-mail updates on the show and shop the QUEER AS
FOLK store to purchase DVDs, soundtracks and more.
Pushing the boundaries of television, QUEER AS FOLK launched on SHOWTME in
December 2000, and presents a world that is rarely seen with such candor and
honesty. The series, which ignited the recent explosion of gay TV programming,
has always addressed important issues affecting the gay community, and takes
on some particularly relevant subjects in its fourth season. Struggling with
same-sex parenting, discrimination, AIDS, HIV, gay marriage, drug addiction
and even their own mortality, the characters are maturing and beginning to
face the complexities of life. QUEER AS FOLK stars Michelle Clunie, Robert
Gant, Thea Gill, Gale Harold, Randy Harrison, Scott Lowell, Peter Paige, Hal
Sparks and Sharon Gless. The series is executive produced by Ron Cowen, Daniel
Lipman and Tony Jonas. Cowen & Lipman developed the series for American
television based on the British series created by Russell T Davies. Sheila
Hockin serves as producer. The SHOWTIME series is from Cowlip Productions,
Tony Jonas Productions and Temple Street Productions.

MY POINT... Obviously word is spreading, more people are investing into it and with volume holding over 100 mill a day, we're poised for a HUGE jump up.

I wouldn't be suprised seeing volume in the billions very soon.

Ok now we find out, again after 70+ pages in three different threads, only a few days ago and again today did anyone confirm that it never came close to $1... only 0.45... Still a great number, but no where near the 'facts'. Did you ever look into that claim? You say there's no hype, even after someone posts a Bart Simpsonesque stream of something completely untrue (a forgivable misunderstanding in reading the chart..no insult to U4 intended), and you hop in with "great post! people don't use their brains.." huh? People have been hyping this magical $1 number they hit a few years ago, and no one bothered to check and realize it wasn't true. What other 'facts' have we been hearing about that also aren't true that no one has bothered to check?

Btw I read through all of the posts in all of the huge threads here. All I see are internal PRs and photos of some random empty office. I didn't see anything official from T-W. They have all of their press releases online, and there's nothing about TTN. So don't tell me to read the threads... I already have and I'm still looking for answers.

As for the bounced emails, I also had a techie friend check the info on the domain. Didn't get anything like what PLF got... I'm going to have another friend do some more digging on that to see if I can replicate his findings, but right now all I came up with is the same stuff that pharmdman found.

Think it's time for the hype to turn into an honest look at some of these discrepencies and unanswered questions. Hope I'm wrong and the company takes off and my chunk of shares goes through the roof, but I'd rather find the facts first before I get taken for a sucker.

Never seen the stock get any higher than that, but even that wouldn't be too bad if you're holding a million shares.

Oh and Bart... you mentioned that you only have faith in two stocks now? What about GZFX? I mean I think there is huge potential with slightly less risk than others... conversly I don't think the reward ratio is as high as say QBID. However, it still seems really solid... do you not agree?

Thanks guys!

I have looked at all these stocks that I can look at. Not a one is even close to the potential of QBID within the next 6 months.
It could go all the way back to .0001 but the potential if they come on air is hugh.
IBZT when they start selling their new products has very good potential. Not as high as QBID but close. I want stocks with a big reward possiblity. I have played around with the others and found you can make little money but not big money. I do not have a problem putting all my eggs in 2 baskets. Spread it all over the place and some go up some go down and in the end you equal out to where you were at. For me everything or nothing. Thats the way I will play the game. And it is a game. But no more but these two for me. I will just do what I do and hope it all works out in the end. QBID is a play short term 1 year and IBZT long term up to 3 years. My opinion only.

Why wasn't it up at a dollar, as claimed? By that time, was it apparent that they were screwed?

So basically what's going to happen (for the sake of my clarification) is that upon April 1st... we may see a sort of sling shot effect with some of the pennies that have been kept down by the MM's. Ultimately, they won't be able to keep them down anymore... and more apropriate price will occur?

Like 1 penny?

I know here's nothing certain, but since I'm new at this... I'm trying to understand the implications of April 1st.

Thanks for your patience guys!

Take care,

Well I am now finally seeing the light. There are only two stocks in this whole group that have any chance of going big time. QBID and IBZT. (I will hold CMKX just to see for only $1K.) I just dumped all the others and throwing everything on just these 2. No more buying of anything. Will just hold these two. All the hype I here and the charts look great are total B/S. TA is B/S. The only thing that means anything is the product and its possibilities. QBID has great potential and if they start up the big time is here for us. If no go so be it. All my eggs are now in two baskets and will stay there. You all can keep doing all the hype and TA on all the other stocks but wake up and become a QBID big time player. Up we will go. New support level at .0027 to .0029.

---

Actually, you can easily add GZFX & LBTT to the list.

QBID has a very strong support @ 0.0027. This is good. 1.5 months (approx) left to launch.

TA usually is very good & needed for most of the stocks above $1, but very hard on micro-pennies, since everything moves more on news, hype & pumping or dumping...

e2, you misunderstood bart here.. He is talking about the launch of the network. QBID is the gay tv station. If it works out, expect PPS to rise very WELL. If the station fails, expect a massive sell off!

posted March 30, 2004 14:57            

I'M SHORTING SOME OTHER STOCKS AND NOT REALLY PAYING THAT MUCH ATTENTION TO QBID TODAY.

YA I KNOW YOU HATE US SHORTERS...

I'M EXHAUSTED RESEARCH ABOUT QBID AND I SEE US SITTING HERE AT THE .003 MARK KNOWING FULL WELL WHAT'S AHEAD, THAT IS CALMING TO AN EXTENT.

DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'M STILL WATCHING.

Even if they are finished with the naked short selling. They in my opinion will control the market due to the hugh amounts of money they have to play with. We play with change compared to them. As in the big market. One big player can drive it down or run it up. The thing I figure you just hope you are on the one he is wanting to run up. My opinion.

The price manipulation is what you get when you have only a few buyers to thousands of sellers, and visa versa. When you trade in any pink sheet stock you are dealing with the MM, not another person. So they have complete control over everything. And you KNOW they work together, even if it's not legal. The only real way out is to get off the pinks.

I don't think we'll see a big difference after April 1st. They have many ways to manipulate things to their advantage.

Sorry to be a pessimist, but the little guy almost always get's screwed.

That being said, it sure doesn't stop me from buying and hoping events such as good corporate news overwhelm whatever the MMs can do. And I think QBID is one of the few that can overcome them in the long run.

Maybe I'm just bitter because I'm down over $12,000 this month. I'll get over it when QBID hits .01.

I think sometimes people are just going to have questions... there is something very different about talking to someone about someone vs. reading it... ESPECIALLY to a newbie who may be unsure of his actions no matter how much security is there (not to mention those whose small positions seem like all the money they have in the world lol). Myself, I've been reading articles about naked shorting... as well as the dozens of posts... for months now!! It's only now though that I think I'm starting to "get it".

Anyhow... forgive us for our ignorrence Diana... lol we're just learning!

I guess I was just a little defensive cause I thought it was more directed at the questions, as opposed to the bashers.

We haven't really had that much bashing in a while though have we?

On another note... I'm trying to turn a quick profit on WNMI so I can invest some more into QBID. I really want to be able to join you guys in the million shares club lol!!! Wish me LUCK!!!

I'm 727,500 right now... MILLION HERE I COME!!!

1. THEY HAVE SOMEWHAT EQUAL AMOUNT OF STOCK IN THE COMPANY THEY ARE BASHING.

2. THEY HAVE REASONABLE OBJECTION/BASH. FOR INSTANCE, TO TELL ME THAT THE STOCK IS .003 AND IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR IT TO HIT $2.00 IS NOT REASONABLE.

3. THEY POST SOME GOOD WITH THE BAD. A BASHER IS ABSOULTELY POSTIVELY NO DIFFERENT THAN A PUMPER. NOT TO SAY ALL GOOD OR BAD HAS TO BE IN A SINGLE POST BUT YOU ALL KNOW THE ONE'S I'M TALKIN ABOUT.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHEN YOU ARE A BASHER, I CAN SIMPLY CHOSE TO IGNORE YOUR POST AND NOT EVEN RESPOND. <----MOST SEEM TO FORGET THIS ONE.

NOW THE ABSOLUTE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT GOOD OR BAD IN RELATION TO THIS STOCK.

MY QBID IS GOING UP. SAY WHAT YOU WANT AND HOW-EVER YOU WANT. WHEN IT DOES SHOOT UP, GUESS WHAT, YOU WONT BE AROUND TO POST ANYTHING.

MY FACTS ARE WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU BRING UP TO BASH UNLESS IT'S "NEW" REALLY BLOW THE LID OFF STUFF, MY STOCK IS GOING UP. WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE AND HIT ALMOST ($1.00 HAHA) .50, SO WHETHER YOU SAY THIS IS A FRUAD OF NOT, IT HIT ALMOST .50. I'LL TAKE MY .002-.003 ENTRY ON A FRAUD STOCK ANYDAY THAT HIT ALMOST .50 AT THIS SAME PLACE IN HISTORY WITH A HIGH OF $7.00.

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING POINTS TO THIS STOCK GOING UP. THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT SAYS THIS STOCK WONT GO UP.

MY QBID IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST VOLUME STOCKS TRADED ON ANY MARKET (NYSE, NASDAQ, OTCBB AND OTCPINKS) ON ANY GIVEN DAY AND WE'RE AHEAD OF MICROSOFT, YAHOO, PEPSI, EBAY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

WE TRADE AROUND $1,000,000 (ONE MILLION DOLLARS) CASH PER DAY AS A PINKIE! <-----IS THAT A MISPRINT THAT IT'S A PINK SHEET TRADING $1 MIL/DAY; NO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I GOT A IN WRITING NO REVERSE SPLIT GUARANTEE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

MY QBID SHOT UP TO ($1.00 HAHA) .45 IN THIS EXACT SAME POSITION. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I GOT AN ENTRY SOMEWHERE AROUND .001-.003 AND THIS STOCK SHOT UP TO ($1.00 HAHA) .45 IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION AS WE ARE NOW ABOUT 3+/- YEARS AGO. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

QBID HAS A HIGH OF $7.00 AND I'M IN AT .001-.003 WITH A NO REVERSE SPLIT GUARANTEE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

SOME PEOPLE HERE ARE RIDING UPWARDS OF 5 MILLION FREE SHARES! <---- UPWARDS OF 5 MILLION FREE SHARES IS THAT A MISPRINT? NOPE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

MEXICO CITY - Viacom is in preliminary discussions to launch a gay cable network in the United States, the media giant's chairman and chief executive said Tuesday.

Sumner Redstone's conglomerate has also "tightened up" its decency standards in the wake of Janet Jackson (news)'s racy performance at halftime of the Super Bowl.

In an interview in Mexico City, where he was launching VH1 Latin America, Redstone said the decency debate in the United States had affected policies at Viacom's media holdings.

The company controls CBS and MTV, the Paramount movie studio, and Infinity Broadcasting, whose programming includes shock jock radio personality Howard Stern's show.

Sounds fine, but is there enough content to support it? I was on a web lesbian movie review service, and the movies reviewed were really slim pickings. Fortunately I run into them accidentally when getting videos locally, simply looking for good drama.

I'm not sure if it would empower them or set them apart even more. I've always perceived groups who have their own parades, tv stations and whatnot to stand out and seem more separate that way.

It seems silly. Gays and lesbians don't live on an island away from us straight people. It's only right that the kind of programming that deals with that kind of issues (what the hell would be on it, anyway?) should be mingled with the rest.

Okay, if there is going to be a gay/lesbian channel, I want my POKéMON channel, and my Orlando Bloom channel, and my....uh, sorry. Just got an idea for a survey.

Well I support it of course but I don't like it cos I believe it will be crap! Whenever gay people make programmes for gay people they are pathetic. The best combination is gay people who make stuff for straights and vice-versa.

Good point. Why can't we have more gay programmes on ordinary channels - this is the best way for exposure and breaking down barriers. The gay themed programmes in Britain on mainstream TV have helped achieve a hell of a lot (in ways thats is hard to underestimate)

I would just assume that it would be movies and such that would relate to that community. I told everyone as much as I know.

I don't know if I agree with it, I have small kids- and I can't say that I wouldn't have to think twice before letting them see it. My oldest son has asked me about gays before and I *think* he understands.I don't know, tough one.

Yeah I liked that- it brought Gay people closer to the world view and out of the closet. A lot still thought we stalked kiddie playgrounds or dark alleyways.

It's probably better than the U.S. version of that show, which was good for like the first three epsiodes, then just turned into yet another providence like soap opera, where the writers seem to be so emoitionally stunted they can't bare to have a lead character actually be HAPPY for more than five minutes.

Yeah, but the lack of gay programming in Gringoland is embarrassing. They did away with "Queer as Folk" (which was EXCELLENT). "Normal, Ohio" fizzled after one season, and it's been replaced with "Ellen", which is about the same thing but with a female. "Will and Grace" is still at the top, and it's been so for wow, a few years. But we need more.

The one guy I liked (Michael) was kinda cool cuase he was a geek like me with all his comic stuff, but then he would throw away perfectly decent guys becuase he had a crush on the aforementioned predator (I've made refernces to that show before on earlier surveys, you may have seen them) Brian. It got tiresome really fast. And then the short haired woman cheated on her 'wife,' after she'd given birth no less, and I just stopped watching.

Well, this is clearly a mult-dimensional issue.
I think the people who are making the channel are just being capitalists, so, whatever.
I think I live in a (basically) free country, I don't see why we couldn't air the channel (here)... or send it down the cable lines, so, whatever.

What I'm actually opposed to is the society which would support the channel... and I don't think we can really fight that. Just keep our kids sheltered from it and let it ride. As homosexuality becomes more 'out in the open,' maybe we'll start seeing it more for what it is (a behavior pattern and a subculture)... and the subculture will probably fade in significance, along with the personality characteristics. It's ironic that only by our opposition and stigmatization of homosexuals have we caused them to be so 'loud' as a social group. We really don't see sado-masochist, swingers, or even sex-industry workers defining themselves based upon the sexual behaviors they engage in... we've been somewhat more accepting of them as long as they lay low. Then again, I live in Las Vegas, no one's surprised when we find out that little Jonny's mom is a stripper...

I support it but I don't think it would wash in the U.S.-the majority of the people seem to be far too Puritanical. Maybe if it was on a premium cable channel (and some people are already having fits about shows like "Queer As Folk" & Sex & The City). This would probably work better in The Netherlands than it would here.

Viacom Plans to Start Gay TV Channel

March 29, 2004: 5:56 AM EST

Sumner Redstone, Viacom Inc.'s chairman and chief executive, doesn't like to admit mistakes. But he confessed to one this month: The media company shouldn't have abandoned plans it was studying two years ago for a cable network aimed at gays, Monday's Wall Street Journal reported.

Such a channel now could "be worth a billion dollars," Mr. Redstone told analysts and investors, and would have cost only $30 million to launch.

Mr. Redstone seems determined not to make the same mistake twice. He has ordered Tom Freston, chairman and chief executive of Viacom's MTV Networks, to come up with a business plan for the country's first gay-themed network. Viacom officials decline to comment on the channel, which is back on the front burner. It doesn't yet even have a name, though Outlet has been discussed.

Viacom's renewed interest comes amid a surge in the popularity of gay characters and gay-themed shows on television in the past few years, led by the high-profile success of Bravo's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," a make-over show that turned its five cast members into stars.

The gay audience also is an increasingly attractive target for advertisers, spending nearly $500 billion a year, according to Prime Access Inc., a gay and lesbian advertising and marketing agency in New York. Average U.S. income is about 8% higher in gay households than straight ones, according to Forrester Research Inc.

But the prognosis for a gay channel is iffy. Among the challenges: Some TV viewers would be bothered by its programming, while cable operators might be reluctant to add a gay-themed network to their channel lineup, especially outside major cities. Some advertisers also could be leery, even though the travel, entertainment and financial-services industries already spend heavily to lure gay consumers.
