Bialystock Member	posted June 26, 2004 14:02 I know I'm nitpicking perhaps, but I'd love to see Frank take a tiny fraction of the funds he's raised and hire even a part time webmaster. A link to Scott Seger's Bio shouldn't be randomly placed like an afterthought on various pages. It was a welcome addition to us shareholders at the time, but to people just visiting the site for the first time it's a complete non sequitur. It belongs on a Company Bios page, along with Bios of Frank, Barbara, et al. They all have fantastic credentials in their careers, like Frank's starting of The Movie Channel, and such huge selling points are not being exploited on the website. We're talking a couple hundred bucks a week for someone to put a little lipstick on this thing. Deveney should be riding him every day until it's done. Just my opinion, and I'm still completely upbeat on the Q. Just wired more money yesterday to buy more shares on Monday if the price stays this low. On Friday I stopped my right hand with my left hand from selling everything else and putting it all in the Q. Total commitment to Qbid is very tempting, warts and all. But gotta keep it real. Wire more Q money and stay diversified. Go Q! (and Deveney get crackin'!) IP: Logged
BDUBS07 Member	posted June 26, 2004 14:14 Souldn't the Q be advertising before the hard launch. Other wise they will launch with carriers and no one will know about them. This just seems fishy to me. I am just speaking my mind. If yall call me a basher yall just dont want to here the hard questions to ask. IP: Logged

If yall call me a basher yall just dont want to here the hard questions to ask. No one's calling you a basher. We still have, my guess, 2 weeks before hard launch. We WILL be advertising before then and the cable providers will certainly help with that. As well as the advertising spots that the next to last hotline update mentioned. IP: Logged

They may just be planning to hit hard and heavy the week prior to hard launch, but I'm just speculating. Since carriers make money with each subscription, Q might be waiting for the carriers to notify viewers of the new channel. I know that I get emails and billing inserts for new channels/offerings. True, they would get more carriers if viewers were calling to request, but I guess they can't be everywhere at once. JMHO though. IP: Logged

Bialystock Member	posted June 26, 2004 14:31 Yes, that's how I read the hotline's mention of awaiting entry into carrier's billing systems before proceeding with announcements. I assume they mean the billing system that they use to bill cable subscribers, not just the billing system they use to bill Frank for carriage. Once viewers can be billed and subsequently pay for QTN, that's the point at which your ad dollar bang is optimum. Too soon before that and you lose people who try to subscribe, call up the cable company, and can't get any satisfaction.. We're so close to launch I can smell rocket fuel. IP: Logged

sync2112 Member	posted June 26, 2004 15:39 Launch? Where exactly? When?......What stations.....what sort of revenue. So many questions so few answers........how can a gazillion share pink sheet stand a chance agianst the big boys who will have there own gay tv soon......oh did I forget to mention they also own the station. Would love to invest but just don`t see it here. Just a potential ibzt debacle in the making. IP: Logged
1BigTip Member	posted June 26, 2004 15:43 So many people come here or to other message board for answers. It's like they've never been out of their houses and don't know how to speak. Just call the Office yourself and ask 1 or 2 questions. If you dont like the answers then go away. I will be calling the offices on Monday to ask a direct question. "I'm looking to view your network so how can I order it & with who?" I will post their answer, so stay tuned. [This message has been edited by 1BigTip (edited June 26, 2004).] IP: Logged

There doesn't have to be just one gay tv network. For instance, how many people have HBO, SHO, TMC, MAX, STARZ, & ENC? Not to mention all of their various sub-platforms. QTN and LOGO are not going for exactly the same format either, so it won't be two networks doing the same thing. Don't forget, Viacom backed out once before, so who's to say that they won't do it again? IP: Logged

RobinO Member	posted June 26, 2004 16:40 quote: Originally posted by pharmdman: Why does everyone think this is an either or proposition? There doesn't have to be just one gay tv network. I think the problem is that Logo is well known and will be free, while QTV is unknown and will be a subscription channel. So the choice will be getting a known entity for free, or paying for an unknown. Bad odds, but I'm still holding out for another few weeks to see what they announce in their PRs. -R IP: Logged
OilMan Member	posted June 26, 2004 16:49 "Big Boys" do not control subscribers. 20 million+ customers looking for a GBLTV and they will take the one that has nothing to due with MTV. If MTV was a paid channel they would be bankrupt. MTV is noted for the poor programming ability the producers have and they constantly bash the gay and lesbian community. LOGO is exactly what that channel will be, one more logo in the TV guide. Q is now, advertisers will not wait, subscribers want real programming. 1 + 1 + 1 = $3 PPS quote: Originally posted by RobinO: I think the problem is that Logo is well known and will be free, while QTV is unknown and will be a subscription channel.

suzainiee Member	posted June 26, 2004 17:14 How could a cable company offer a network before it is launched? Again, all we have to do is launch! Sharing suggestions is productive not bashing. Sometimes, I forget to look at the big picture. Frank and his crew are out there creating a television network while I sit at a computer. He has hung in there all these years. Obviously, he is a man with committment to a courageous vision who will not stop until he sees his creation take life. Right here, right now, I choose to say "Thank you to Frank and the QBID team. I am in your corner". IP: Logged

But what they can do is say "We'll be offering that on July 28th but we can sign you up now" or something to that effect... IP: Logged
OilMan Member	posted June 26, 2004 17:18 Also remember that the general public has an attention span of about 5 minutes. Within 5 minutes of seeing a commercial if they can't call and order the station right then and there, they will forget it. IP: Logged

firefly Member	posted June 26, 2004 18:17 David against Goliath? The time is definently right. I believe there is room for competition and I belive the genras are similar but different. I believe Frank has done his own DD over the last few years and knows by experience what path Q needs to take. This will be quite a year. I hope Q marketing gets out and learns and hope Q adverising reaches. "all we have to do is launch" IP: Logged

Ruh420 Member	posted June 26, 2004 18:59 Frank did a good job of launching & selling The Movie Channel.... Apparantly. Viacom DOES have competition. Competition that would want to beat Viacom's launch by 6+ months. I've no worries. My vote is for comcast. Woot! [This message has been edited by Ruh420 (edited June 26, 2004).] IP: Logged

OilMan Member	posted June 26, 2004 19:09 BET did it so can we........... BET has an estimated $631 billion in buying power. Sound familiar??? Look what it got them.............. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ We thought we saw it all when Africana.com and Essence were purchased by Time-Warner. We reeled when we knew that NetNoir.com was 25% own by Time-Warner/AOL, BlackFamilies.com (now defunct) was owned by Cox Communications, BlackPlanet.com was owned by Community Connect Inc, and BlackVoices.com was a wholly owned subsidiary of Tribune Broadcasting. Now we have the complete buyout of Black Entertainment Television (BET) by Viacom totally completing the razing of African-American's top media companies. Grant it that the programming appealed to limited audience, but the revenue generating model designed by Robert L. Johnson, CEO of BET was genuine. Based on figures gathered from a USA article titled "Viacom Considers Paying an Unusually High Price for BET" you can see what it was essentially a no-brainer. With BET's expected cash revenue of $124 million for 2001 and a standing liability of $570 million, a buy out price of $3 billion dollars more than compensates Johnson for his hard work. Given that he is still tending a deal to buy landing spaces and lease equipment and crews at Reagan National Airport for the creation of DC Air, he should be more than able to pay the $140 to $215 million necessary to seal the deal. Johnson owns 63% of BET, Liberty Media 35%, and Debra L. Lee, President of BET owns the remaining 2%. In other word, Robert L. Johnson's BET holdings are now worth $1.6 billion dollars. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ BET Facts: 1999 Revenue: $225 million Current Liabilities: $570 million Employees: 400 BET Holdings is a very recognizable brand name, reaching 58.5 to 61.0 million cable subscribers. The cable channels include, Black Entertainment Television, BET Action Pay-Per-View, BET on Jazz, BET Movies/Starz, and BET International. BET Magazines: BET Weekend, Heart and Soul Other Media: Arabesque Books, BET Arabesque Films, BET Pictures II, and BET.com ========================================== IP: Logged

suzainiee Member	posted June 26, 2004 21:19 Good information, Oilman. May I add an additional comment on BET? This station has a huge as in HUGE young audience. All ages of kids watch that channel. Rap artists dominate the young music scene. Check the sales numbers, concerts and the music awards' winners. He took the concept of a black station and expanded it. His model was "give the viewer what they want ." An idea is just a thought until it is implemented. That's when the work begins. IP: Logged
whizknock Member	posted June 26, 2004 22:09 Pay close attention to what follows in the six months after QBID begins broadcasting to the public. Every metion of LOGO in the press will cause mini spikes for QBID. Broadcasting National TV Networks do not trade for less than a buck a share. First-In-Kind Broadcasting National TV Networks feed off of every PR from big name competitors.

Tomorrow is the pride parade in manhattan, I am going to keep my eyes & ears peeled to see/hear any mention of QTV. Just seems weird to me that they are not plastered all over the place here in NYC this week. IMO IP: Logged

Too soon before that and you lose people who try to subscribe, call up the cable company, and can't get any satisfaction.. ========================================== My humble observation would be: 1. Billing means you enjoy something first and pay it at a later date. The amount is certainly bigger than magazine subscription. Carrier might not possibly launch for QBID and claims later as account receivables. Am I right? 2. Do we need a billing system to tackle those simple transactions? All QBID needs to do is to sign on pieces of independant sub contracts and checks/Elec.Trans.Funds. So, I vote for the billing to cable subscribers. Hence, I agree with Bialystock's assumption.
