Booty Quest Member	posted June 20, 2004 13:06 Welp Brandon, there is plenty of material available from other gay stations around the globe. One that we've already 'borrowed' from is Pridevision in Canada. It's possible we're merging with them, too. Betting Babe made an excellent argument for that. Q has stated they have a crew in every major city right now. It doesn't take long to do documentaries, and since marriage is such a hot topic right now, I'm sure that will be a big part of the ongoing programming. Once they get rolling and people see they are real and viable, then bigger deals will get struck and bigger names will be willing to jump onboard. As Whizknock always says: "Todo tenemos que hacer es la lancha." and for the French: "Tout nous devons faire sommes lance." IP: Logged
TickerToo Member	posted June 20, 2004 13:09 Hi! When they first talked about a 24/7 G&L station several years ago, they mentioned the line-up of programs would be run for 6 hours during the day and 6 hours at night. More like a 6-6/7 thing, but it was touted as a 24/7. I'm signing off for the day. 10:00am Arizona quote: Originally posted by brandwilliams: One question I have wondedred for a long time now, is how do you run a 24 hour network without actors and actresses on your payroll. No film crews actually working just for you. No production studio, I mean ya gotta have some type of production studio. Right now Qbid is overnighting tapes to Louisiana to get them to air the tapes for them. Hard launch is supposedly coming real soon, and they have not named one show they have other than a documentary. Explain to me how they are gonna run a 24 hour network. Lets get technical here, no pumping that the pps is gonna soar crap, just break it down how Frank is gonna run a network with 4-5 people on the payroll.. When Logo released their pr a few weeks ago about launching a gay network, they mentioned advertisers already. Quite a few shows already lined up, what has qbid got? They supposedly almost launched years ago, where did all that video work go. They just throw it in the trash?

jimbo Member	posted June 20, 2004 13:19 I got curious about this. So I called and spoke to 3 different people at Comcast Seattle. Two of them actually didn't know anything about QTELEVISION and one has heard of it. The one that has heard of it said that they only carried a test signal and when they did they got many calls complaining about it. (However, this could be different if it airs as a ppv channel) Each one offered to me the option to fill out a request form for the channel. I could not confirm any signal going through now on Telstar 7 Channel 1. They did confirm that since it is Sunday, Sales is out and I would have to call them back during the regular work week hours to see if there was any chance to carry the channel. One person said that when a new channel comes out they normally get a vendor package that promotes the channel and they haven't seen one of them for this channel. If you must know, I still own QBID. quote: Originally posted by 1BigTip: HERE WE GO People; First Order & Subscriber in from COMCAST CABLE for our Q-Channel, now the fun to $1.00 begins. 20 Jun 2004, 01:45 AM EDT Msg. 370965 of 370978 Jump to msg. # I just ordered q telivision on comcast seattle 1-877-824-2288 sunshine-kid0 20 Jun 2004, 01:55 AM EDT Msg. 370968 of 370979 (This msg. is a reply to 370967 by phxgold.)

JBCak47 Member	posted June 20, 2004 14:11 My father wotrks for Viacom, I have worked for FOX, CBS, and NBC Sports TV Production. I have worked as a camera crew/utility person. Wireless RF person, ect. You can run an entire network, with no actors, provided you have enough video to play 24/7. That is were the film crews come into play. They can provide b-Roll for sports, News, Politics, special events, live coverage, taped events, parades, fesitivles, carnivals, bar parties, club parties, ect. Multiple film crews can give you tons of video. The B-roll will be kept for any news events. They maybe buying shows or movies from independent people/agencies. They could have bought an entire 'show' for 50 grand. It all varies on who they bought from. However, it is not hard to film sporting events, I have worked in this field for a few years while I was in College. It is easy because many of the camera people, espically 'free lance' own THEIR own equipment. A 15 thousand dollar camera produces very good video. Many Free lancers I knew al owned their own equipment. Don't under estimate these film crews... IP: Logged
pharmdman Member	posted June 20, 2004 14:12 Brandon, I agree with what Booty said about availability of borrowed material and new documentaries. Also, there is plenty of material that is not specific to the gay population that would work very well on QTV. There are plenty of "straight" (I actually mean non-gay) movies and shows that are like cult classics in the gay community. Things like John Water's movies, certain sitcoms, etc. Even the old stereotypical stuff like Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, .. It wouldn't be what they'd show forever, but it would certainly allow them to broadcast 24/7 while production revs up. Don't forget, the gay community is as diverse as the non-gay community. They'll need stuff for young and old, black and white, girly and manly, etc. There's plenty to get their hands on. They could also get away with using it without looking like they have no programming of their own. Show the older established stuff to establish a comfort zone for the new subscribers. They'll feel like they've been there all along and then slowly integrate new documentaries and shows. JMHO though... any thoughts? IP: Logged

Bialystock Member	posted June 20, 2004 14:43 Comcast FAQ recommends the form linked below for requesting programming that's not currently in their line up. I used it a couple months back and just reused it today to let them know I'm still interested in getting Q. Good timing now for everyone to do the same, IMO: http://www.comcast.com/contactus/customerservice.asp IP: Logged

BoulderBuddy Member	posted June 20, 2004 18:23 Looks like the other QBID thread isn't showing the messages on the last page but instead they're showing on page 2. So I'll repost on this thread. Hello to All!! I have Comcast for a cable signal here in CO... Has anyone else noticed the SunDance Commercials playing on the Weather and Sci-fi Channels (or others)? I just noticed them playing this weekend, later in the evening. SunDance all gay, all day. Here is the link for their website: http://www.sundancechannel.com/ I don't recall if we've talked about SunDance in the past. Looks like they're currently broadcasting. Would this mean we're not the first gay network on the air??? DOUGH!!!! I'm hoping this doesn't really mean too much to us, as QBID's programming will be so much better. Although it would be a great confidence booster to see a QTV ad on TV. Best wishes to all. I own QBID since .0018 and will continue to hold until the dollar range. Yes, I'm very hopeful. IP: Logged

Lets talk about what is different this time around that makes you confident we will not repeat what happened in 2001. Thanks The biggest thing they are doing this time around is they aren't announcing anything "concrete" ie. carriers, advertisers, etc. until they're ready. Last time they announced all this before most of the contracts were finalized, things fell through, investors lost confidence and QBID was back to .0001. They appear to have learned from their mistakes the last time around, that's something to feel confident about. And having experience with trying to launch once, they know the pitfalls and what to avoid. That's my take on what's different this time around. IP: Logged

WinsumLosesum Member	posted June 20, 2004 22:52 This insert in Fortune Magazine is HUGE news (or HUGH if you prefer). As I mentioned before, I think there are bigger hitters out there who have been watching Qbid ever since they popped up on Viacom's news releases. At least they know the name now. Next they see an insert in Fortune Mag. Then comes the PR that says Qbid has secured enough financing to operate for two whole years, and has gained a presence on Madison Ave. (I personally think that will be the content of the next PR) I'm thinking that will be the credibility that some have been waiting to see, and some of the blue chippers just may decide to "stoop so low" as to pick up some shares of a their very first pinkie.
