This is a network dedicated to an audience that has been waiting for it a very long time.

He does not address RCN's audio problems. Perhaps that's why the audio cell on the satelite chart was blank until recently.[/B]

It was never an weather related issue. Satellite C-band is very little, if not at all, effected by weather. A bid dish can send and receive through the biggest rain storm without loosing the picture. That's why most broadcasters use C-band. the rules change for the "little dish". Rain has a great effect on DirecTV and Dish Network since it is transmitted in Ku-band frequencies.

You are right, he did not address RCN's audio problems. Why the audio cell on the satellite chart is blank is beyond my knowledge. Most of Lyngsats's information is compiled by volunteers who scan the sky's.

Is the signal sent from your location to Texas and on the SF?

He will take the negatives and develop.

Yes it is! RCN could pick it up directly if they would have the right equipment.

Both sides, RCN and NTI, are working to solve this problem. The question is, which audio format is more common with cable companies? I believe someone is surveying cable companies across the country to determine the most common systems they use. Someone has to make an adjustment.

The lastest information out from Q looks interesting! Appears that Frank and his team are on the move and finding original material to air. I can swing with that.

posted September 30, 2004 20:21            

The statement that cable carriers are all being asked this question implies a lot of confusion within the industry.

Whoooooo.........thanks Ron.

Qnique!

Good job bringing that to the board. Kind of gives some insight on the fact that we're going to be around for awhile. I had a minimum two year time horizon on my core holding when I first bought in Feb. I'm resetting the clock as of today! Oct/Nov 2006 is the earliest I will sell any part of my core. Unless we hit a buck or two sooner.

Well, why would they write about an weather problem when it is an audio problem?

Why would they write about migrating the signal? Migrating means to move from one place to another.

Some of the PR's have been a little bit on the clumsy side.

You have been reading the board for sometime.

How many time have you read discussions about, "Did Frank mean this or did he mean that?"

Weeks later, someone would post, "Oh, that's what he meant."

Some read the same PR as positive and others read the PR as negative.

posted September 30, 2004 20:43            

HALF A TRILLION DOLLAR target, .05% of which is $250,000,000.oo!

That's right!

POINT ZERO FIVE PERCENT OF $500,000,000,000.oo = TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS.

If we generate that kind of business revenue on just a yearly basis this stock will be trading for a couple dollars a share if not more.

This is just one reason why people can't find a Genuine Broadcasting National TV Network that trades for less than a dollar a share.

I think you're faster than most & also think you have more shares than I do.

Good luck to you cause as you've pointed out,,,

So this has me wondering about Frank and why Q didn't put this news out...I'm thinking that he might combine this news with other news in a press release to show how QTN is accomplishing its goals. Just would LOVE to know WHEN we'll hear from Frankie...He can just whisper in my ear and tell me ALL the good stuff and I won't tell a soul...okay, I'd only tell you guys.

Tracy Baim, Co-vice chair of Chicago Games Inc.’s board, says the dealis for a seven-figure cash consideration. It also includes an agreement to air shows promoting the games through their July 2006 launch.

Ms. Baim says Q Television will broadcast the games to at least 150 U.S markets, and possibly overseas. The 2002 games, held in Sydney, Australia, were not broadcast outside of the Sydney metropolitan area.

...sounds like the q's got some money, ad spots promoting, 150 markets ??? overseas???

...q sure is gettin' round, huh

...maybe frank's keeping things on the "q-t"

...good vibes sunny.........

Gay Games VII and Q Television Network make a deal

The Chicago-based organizers of Gay Games VII announced Thursday that they have signed a letter of intent to provide television and radio broadcast rights for the event to the California-based Q Television Network. The broad terms of the cash-and-barter deal include broadcast rights, joint development of Gay Games-related programming, broadcast airtime for advance Gay Games advertising, and live and taped coverage of Gay Games VII events. (Gay Games VII is scheduled to take place July 15-22, 2006.) Subscriber-based Q Television would unscramble its signal during live Gay Games coverage, giving basic-cable viewers an opportunity to view the programs. "It has been my dream to get television created specifically for the LGBT audience on the air," said Frank Olsen, Q Television president and CEO, in a statement. "With the Gay Games as our landmark network event, we will begin immediately to present the stories of the men and women worldwide that participate in the Games, and build anticipation and excitement until the opening ceremonies."

Well, there goes another statement! QTN's signal is not scrambled, it is in the clear!
--
Pardon me ms gulfcoast but the most recent pr re:Chicago 2006 Gay Games was not put out by QTN. In addition the term unscrambled may be easier for the public to grasp than a detailed explaination of how QTN is usually a premium channel but during the Gay Games they will make the signal available to all. Been lurking and appreciate the insight you seem to have regarding Q Television Network.
