Ronald Orden is the board member from that 1999 article you posted a link to. The Mayor is Ron Oden. http://quotes.freerealtime.com/dl/frt/C?IM=quotes&SA=quotes%7CMessageBoard&symbol=QBID&type=view&msg=24
This is what I get for being as straight as an arrow. No clue whatsoever! I'm getting confused as to where I saw posts regarding the Q & Ronald Orden & then the Mayor... here, or the other thread, or the thread over there. I think we have 3 going now. IP: Logged |

I've sent emails today (friday evening). No reply yet. But it looks like it might just be a coincidence with the Names. The guy who used to be on the board of Triangle Broadcasting Network with Frank Olsen was: Ronald Orden The Mayor for Palm Springs is: Ron Oden (No r in Oden) So most likely not the same guy. I'll let you know when I get a response to my emails! IP: Logged |

June 21, 2001 - LETTER FROM COMPANY. When will we hit the air? September 5, 2001. We appreciate your patience as we go through the creation of our one-of-a-kind television network. It hasn't been easy. But rather than give you hype of promises, this will bring you up to date on our progress. Perhaps you are unaware of the millions of dollars involved to get a new television network underway? New equipment, programming and talent are only a few of the factors required for a 24/7 operation. We have had to seek out investors, sponsors and advertisers to become part of our team. Our staff has had one focus only: to get the Triangle Television Network on the air. There has been some concern regarding our change of name from the Gay Television Network to the Triangle Television Network. First, we have had complaints that "gay" has a prominently male orientation and, as we encompass all of our lifestyles, we felt this was a justifiable change. On a second level, we also found that the corporate world still has hang-ups with the term "gay" and while we do not wish to succumb to pressure from outside sources, we must always keep our main goal of getting the Network on the air at the forefront. So, please accept us as Triangle Television Network - a rose by any other name... Thank you again for your tremendous support and your patience. Sincerely, TTN July 2001 - A lot of talk about QBID.

Generally, due diligence refers to the care a reasonable person should take before entering in an agreement or transaction with another party. 1. Offers to purchase an asset are usually made dependent upon the results of due diligence analysis. It includes reviewing all financial records plus anything else deemed material to the sale. Sellers could also perform a due diligence analysis on the buyer.

Sept. 5, 2001 THEY MADE IT FOLKS! QBID NOW BROADCASTING ON TWO CHANNELS !!!, , the signal is up and valid/good quality on Telstar 7, Transponder 1 , , KU Feed also available.... , Telstar 5, Transponder 5!!! Sept. 6, 2001 NEWS. Palm Springs, CA,-- Frank Olsen, President of Triangle Multi-Media Limited, Inc, (Symbol: QBID) announced today the company's successfully launch of TTN and its schedule of programming on Wednesday, September 5th Pacific Standard Time. Thereafter, Triangle Television Network hereinafter (TTN) will broadcast gay and lesbian programming 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Sept. 6, 2001 QBID posts FAQ on website. The Triangle Television Network (TTN) launched on September 5, 2001. TTN is the world’s first television network broadcasting television programming exclusively devoted to the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender (GLBT) communities. The network is approximately 75% gay owned and 80% gay operated. TTN has been in the development stage for over 8 years. Our mission is to provide high-quality programming designed to entertain, educate and inform the GLBT community. TTN wants to bring the gay world to your home with programming created especially for you. 2. How do I receive TTN? TTN offers an open-tier, digital signal available on TelStar 7, Transponder 1 located at 129 degrees west longitude. The footprint for our signal covers the continental US, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Vancouver, Canada. If you do not have the proper sophisticated C-Band equipment to view TTN, your cable company or satellite provider must carry the signal. We wish you could just flip a switch and begin viewing TTN; but, of course, the television broadcast business is not that simple. As people begin to request TTN and we show the cable and satellite providers that TTN will generate enough revenue to justify being carried by them, I assure you they will carry us. But you must call in and request TTN. The TTN signal is available to all cable companies within our footprint. Also, our signal is available for both major satellite providers, DirecTV and The Dish Network. Additionally, the TTN signal is available for the smaller private satellite systems that provide service to gated communities, hotels and apartment complexes. If you want to know more about receiving TTN with a smaller, private system, please contact Ron Foster in our engineering department for service information. For individual residential users that would like to view TTN, there are two steps you need to follow: Step 1: Contact your local cable or satellite provider and tell them “I want my TTN”. (See below if they tell you they have not heard of TTN) Step 2: E-mail us with your zip code. This information will assist us as we solicit the cable companies that are most in demand by you, the subscriber. BONUS STEP: Tell your friends to do the same. If you do not know who your local cable provider is, then e-mail us (paris@triangletelevisionnetwork.com) and we will let you know. People that have the proper C-Band equipment can receive TTN from the satellite coordinates above. 3. Is TTN a subscription channel? Once TTN becomes available through your local cable or satellite provider and you are able to become a subscriber, you will receive a free 30-day viewing period, after which your monthly subscription fee of $14.95 will be billed by your local cable company or satellite provider. 4. How do I contact TTN? TTN is always looking to enhance our product and service. We are open and ready for suggestions from the community. Please contact us at 760.322.1217 or by email (paris@triangletelevisionnetwork.com). 5. What is the TTN programming standard? We consider TTN a family channel. Just because we offer gay and lesbian programming does not mean we are pornographic. Our broadcast standards are the same standards that channels such as Showtime and HBO adhere to. TTN programming will consist of a combination of originally produced programming, gay and lesbian oriented movies, local programming from various cities across America, serials from around the world as well as special event programming. Future plans call for the development of both a full-scale news department and news magazine programs skewed to the gay and lesbian community. Additionally, TTN will broadcast a variety of locally produced programs, such as Gay Court and Gay Bandstand, as well as gay sitcoms. We will also cover national gay events, such as AIDS Conferences and Gay Pride events worldwide. Our Gay Icon series will include features about artists, writers, actors and historical figures. What should I do when I call my cable company or satellite provider and they say they’ve never heard of TTN? The best answer is to say, “The TTN phone number is 760.322.1217. I am sure they would be delighted to send your company a media kit and licensing agreement for TTN. As a matter of fact, as a potential subscriber to TTN, I will call them myself for you. Please let me know whom I should have them send the media kit to.” 7. What is corporate doing to make sure TTN is going to be available so I may be able to view TTN? Currently, we are continuing to negotiate with the two major satellite providers and several major cable companies to carry TTN. Beginning Sept 20, the TTN sales and licensing department will be aggressively contacting the remaining cable companies to solicit licensing agreements to carry TTN. September 10, 2001 Letter From Frank... I want to thank you all for your tremendous response. The Triangle Television Network has launched and testing is being completed. TTN ran selected programming during the test because we did not wish to offend anyone. The variety will increase after testing has been completed. On Wednesday we will begin informing you how to receive TTN. I must remind you again that the fastest way is to contact your local cable company and request your TTN. Once you have done so, please email us with the name and location of your local cable company. If you do not know who your local cable company is, please email us with your zip code and we will provide you with this information. Sept. 14, 2001 Price started to decline and continued all week.

People saying They've threatened legal action in the past, and nothing ever came of it. Probably because a) they couldn't afford it, and b) they knew they didn't really have much of a case. Jan. 26, 2003 - Talks about launching is a better possibility now & The probability of a near term launch of TTN now appears to be rapidly accelerating. Feb. 04, 2003 - Rumors say Watch for a nationwide Advertising campaign for TTN just as soon as Time Warner gives it's official O.K. for Launch. Feb. 6, 2003 - Ask moved up to .0004. People expecting a rapid move up. News rumors. Launch is probably imminent. They are still broadcasting to TW. Working out the audio and video glitches.

(skunksyard) Unofficial. Spoke with Frank Olsen... Frank said he is now authorized to say that TTN has a 10 year contract with TWC.... From some questions I asked I got the feeling that the launch is more into the fall than this summer... Frank was upbeat. Said QBID owns 100% of TTN. LBS is not a significant factor in QBID in terms of ownership. Bobby Roger and Chris Powell will return for the launch according to Frank. Tom Zamora, and the original folks are still there and that is good news for me. Frank will not discuss the details of the contract but to the question of *does the contract assure a launch* the answer is yes.

Yahooooo! Great 1Big. That must have been the poster JmHollen who wrote that "twas the night..." what a crazy, creative guy!! He had me laughing pretty hard through some of his posts!! 12,000+ posts, plus all posted links read in the past... well since 6pm last night. Many posts calling FO a liar, particularly 2002, early 2003. BUT... zero actual "dirt" dug-up & posted regarding this company. Not even the rumor of "dirt" on FO or his companies posted. I might have missed a few posts, but proven, or rumored "dirt" surely would have lasted longer then a few posts. Ah yes, one piece of dirt. A new poster, copied a post from another board, where that poster asked about the SEC in Atlanta and was that TNN. (Or whatever it was called back then) The posters on the 2nd board then asked the new poster to provide something of substance rather then a copy of some other posters question from another board. Never did get back to them and end of story. All in all?? My thoughts after all those posts? 2004 is sharper. Fewer delays. The delays have been minor time delays rather then weeks & months. What's been promised in PR statements has been delivered... to date in 2004. What I do gather from all those posts and still true today is: Next big thing: Advertising campaign to begin on June 21st or June 22nd. I do not recall an actual written or hotline announcement from the Q regarding the next definate PR date. Do you all have it?

1BIG. I am absolutely exhausted. I read those posts & links from 6pm last night to 7:00am this morning. YOU have to be exhausted too. Satellite date was in 2001. Scheduled May 15, 2001. Then maybe June, July finally got the test in August which no one saw, unlike the one on May 15 of 2004 where a handful of posters on the IHub board post what they are seeing, with one guy posting digital photos of TV program on Yahoo.chat where many others saw. Actual Launch on a satellite network September 5, 2001. Again no reports of anyone actually seeing it, but they do post links to the satellite company programing so you can at least see it in the program. Then they are supposed to launch through the carrier MeTV March 2002, then April... finally happens in May. So TNN, Triangle Television Network has this signed contract with MeTV.com. One of Metv's partners is Microsoft providing some kind of media technology. Then they continue trying to get more carriers. They enter into negotiations with Time Warner Cable. They move into the old Time Warner Cable building in Palm Springs. You've seen the postings about "technical difficulties". One reason could be the Lawsuit that was pending against Microsoft for a certain media technology by Time Warner Cable. Just connecting dots on that one. From the poster "emit" on Ihub who had all those funky articles about technology. Very techy kind of guy. Maybe that was part of the "technical difficulty". Then you hit the silent period where Triangle doesn't update website or put out any Prs. Nothing. The posters are all bashing FO but can't come up with why it's happening... we're talking something like 7-9 months of silence and no one can dig-up the dirt. Just get angry. Can't blame them. So, many other carriage "dealings" that were discussed publicly, and before signed contracts were obtained and before this silent period just fizzled into thin air. Then July or August 2003 hits and we hear from the Triangle Television Network again. Out of 12,000+ posts I find nothing about when the original September 5, 2001 satelite launch ended. Or when the carriage distribution with Metv.com ended. They had another contract with a small distributer at the same time as Metv... it never took off. The other dealing fizzled or fell through. Does someone here know what happened during the "silent" days of Triangle Television Network? Approximately Summer 2002 to Spring/Summer 2003. The posters are busy posting during that time on Ihub link... but no reason provided. Just angry comments, jokes, speculation. Not much. This is why I say in my previous post that what they are SAYING & WRITING they are doing is actually happening this time around. At least the BIG stuff. It seems to be a sharper company in 2004 and is keeping it's mouth pretty darn shut regarding anything pending... unlike what they did in 2000, 2001 & 1st half of 2002. Next thing they must prove to the shareholders from long ago & today is this: REPEAT: Does anyone know what happened during "Silent Triangle Network" period? Summer 2002 - Spring/Summer 2003 This might explain why or how they stopped airing on Metv & satelite channel. IF they ever really even aired on Metv.com, all I can really find is where Metv shows TNN in their line-up. I've got to go!! Must get to my real job or I will have some unhappy people!! Wish I could be more help. Maybe someone on Allstocks will help out with "real confirmable" info, not just those darn inuendos. Oh yea.... HAPPY DAD's DAY TO ALL THE PAPA'S out there! Celebrate the day! I'll have to later.

anyone notice how freely Frank answers the phone. I would think that at this point in the game, the CEO would be inundated with phone calls from l;awyers, distributors, advertisers, and employees with discussions. instead what i am seeing is that you can call there anytime of the day and speak with frank with out interruptions. and in fact from every message that i have seen of people that call and spoke to the man, he goes on and on and most have a hard time getting off of the phone with the man. This does not sound like a CEO of a company that is about to launch a Television station. this sounds like a man that is waiting to hit the sell button when the stock gets to his magic number. You tell me what company can you call up and talk to the CEO with out an appointment at any time of the day. think about it people. I am trying to find one piece of news that would make me feel comfortable to buy back into this company. I can not. This looks like bottom of the ninth no one is on base 2 out and Frank is standing at the plate with a golf putter. good luck all I hope for all you that have big dollars investored that i am wrong. show me something that change my mind.

Small time or not he is launching a national TV station. there are over 10000 carriers out there. let just say for argument sakes that .5% of them are interested in carrying the signal. that is over 500 potential carriers. now with 500 of them there would be program-directors and lawyers involved with all of them. if 5% of them had any questions that day that is still 25 phone calls. average phone call being 10-15 minutes that is 6.25 hours out of your day. take a lunch break and washroom breaks that takes you up to 7 -7.5 hours. you mean to tell me that you would be able to phone and get a hold of the man. the other thing you need to take into consideration. many times when you call there you get Frank himself. not a secretary or receptionist. IF this company is as busy as they proclaim, and was described by Dianna. how the hell does Frank have this kind of time. If Frank is not as busy as i just described above, then i would not count on a launch. as the work is not getting done for such a thing to happen. GLTA

penny, let me reiterate... i know what you're saying... i still think it's odd (that he is available and answers the phone occasionally).... I'm not defending it, i'm just offering another view. They have been working on contracts day in and day out for months... at this point, there may not be as much for him to hash out as you think... I could be wrong about that, since I've never launched a national network. I wouldn't think he'd be involved in the fine details of the contracts, but that he'd have lawyers for that. They certainly have been traveling to generate interest and obtain contracts. I just don't think it's as dire as you're making it sound, but it certainly agree with you that it warrants being addressed. IP: Logged |

Penny, I'm hoping that we see you back on board. Of course, that means it's doing well and we'll all be profiting! I haven't made any money from Q either, I've been too attached emotionally to try swing trading this one (big mistake, I know).

You can call many legit companies and talk to the CEO without an appt. This in and of itself is not something to fear. To me, it just says they havent spent $10000 on a decent phone system and its first come first serve (to answer the phone). I've been in tons and tons of meetings with my CEO in his office which were interrupted by investors. With a lot of smaller companies that dont have dedicated IR departments or personnel, the CEO will fill that role. Who will influence your decision to invest more, a secretary or the CEO of the company?? Bob IP: Logged |

As I said on the infinity & beyond thread, I think what you will see in the following posts that this group of people and their company DID do much of what they said. One or two deals fell through that they thought they had. Many never came to be a reality.... but some did. I will try to do this in a chronological fashion. If I mess-up most posts will have the dates as will the articles. After reading all those posts & links. This is definately about black & white, Ying & Yang. Opposites attract. Everyone can put there own spin on it. I believe in what they did. I do not think they did it the "right way". They said tooo much in articles & PRs. Gave toooo much information away BEFORE deals were signed. They got excited & shared that excitement. IP: Logged |

We are also proud to be the first tire company with a national marketing effort directed toward this important segment of the U.S. population,” said Internet & Diversity Marketing Manager, Michael #####, of the company’s U.S. Consumer Tire Group.

FIRESTONE GETTING SLAMMED FOR G&L support. AFA ActivismAction Alert - 12/13/01Tire maker offers full-blown support to homosexual activistsFirestone is "extremely pleased" to include homosexuals, bi-sexuals, lesbians and transgenders in a targeted marketing effort.E-mail this page to a friend December 13, 2001 Pulling out all the stops, tire and rubber company Bridgestone/Firestone (BFS), has entered into an “extensive commitment” to make sure their stores see the increased traffic of homosexual lovers, cross-dressers, and gender-confused customers. In a news release by BFS last week, company spokesman Michael Fluck said Firestone is “extremely pleased” to include homosexuals, bi-sexuals, lesbians and transgenders in a targeted marketing effort. Fluck said BFS will direct company profits to sponsor exclusive agreements with Triangle Television Network and major homosexual magazines, such as Out, Genre, Curve and The Advocate. In addition, BFS will sponsor homosexual web sites PlanetOut.com andGay.com.Dr. Don Wildmon, President of American Family Association (AFA) said, “Every American family who buys Firestone tires may should be alarmed by this dissuasive direction of the company. With each purchase, their hard-earned money is going to help fund gay pride parades, homosexual television shows, and full-page ads in homosexual magazines.”Wildmon thinks Firestone’s move will further harm the company’s already damaged image. “Bridgestone/Firestone is selectively recruiting customers based solely on bedroom behavior - men who have sex with men, women who have sex with women, and those who aren’t sure what sex they are.” He said this decision won’t be well received by many current Firestone customers, the traditional American family.Firestone’s employees are not happy about the company’s new endorsement either. Wildmon said he was contacted by employees hoping a vocal outcry by consumers will send a strong message of disappointment to Bridgestone/Firestone President John Lampe. ACTION NEEDEDAFA encourages you to support the many Firestone employees who are discouraged by their company's decision to support homosexuality. Contact these Bridgestone/Firestone officers and let them know homosexual behavior should not be encouraged, endorsed, or supported.Bridgestone/FirestonePresident John Lampe50 Century BlvdNashville, TN 37214Phone 615) 872-1900Toll free: 800-367-3872, option 3FAX: 800-760-7859Email: President John LampeEmail: Vice-President Christine Karbowiak, Public Affairs OfficeEmail: Consumer affairs IP: Logged |
