It was Bush and Rumsfeld doing a parody of the Friends finale.

They walked slowly towards each other and lunged into a deep kiss! I mean these boys made out hardcore!

I have never seen such commitment between two guys. There was major tongue! I lost it!

News for 'QBID' - (Q Television Network a Smash Hit at Major Convention;
Participation Leads to Increased Awareness of Unique New Cable Television
Network)

NEW ORLEANS, May 10, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Q Television Network's
(OTCPK:
QBID) participation in the annual convention hosted by the National Cable
&
Telecommunications Association (NCTA) was a resounding success for the
network--adding to the momentum already in place as Q Television prepares
for an
industry launch next month.

The 53rd Annual Convention and International Exposition, "The 2004
National
Show," was held in New Orleans May 2 - 5 and is the principle trade show
for the
cable television industry. The NCTA represents 90 percent of the nation's
cable
television households and more than 200 cable program networks.

Among the benefits Q Television Network identified through its
participation
were:

-- Prominent exhibition space, located at the front of the

exhibit hall, thus visible to all entrants

-- High traffic volume to Q Television Network booth

-- Successful meetings with shareholders and potential investors

-- Interviews with major national, local and business

publications, including Hollywood Reporter and Buzzine

Magazine, with anticipated coverage in New Orleans

CityBusiness

-- Positive discussions with cable companies - follow-up meetings

already scheduled to fast track carriage

In addition, the exhibition offered Q Television the perfect venue to host
a
premier preview of an original documentary created for the network. "I
Will, I
Do, We Did" explores gay and lesbian marriage in America, offering an
inside
glimpse of the challenges faced by this community. The documentary was so
well
received that several suggestions for national rewards were received.

"The interest level in Q Television Network, the programming it will offer
and
the audience it will reach was tremendous," notes Steven Grunberg,
President of
Programming and Acquisitions, the driving force behind the effort of Q
Television at this exhibit.

Mr. Grunberg went on to comment, "Frankly we were somewhat overwhelmed by
the
support and encouragement we received from everyone visiting our booth,
both
from within and from outside our community, further validating our concept
and
our market timing. At times we could not handle the visitors all at once,
despite the fact that we had 4 people permanently manning the booth.
Although we
had high expectations for this exhibit, we could not have dreamed that we
could
have become such a smash hit. Our potential audience is estimated to be
around
20 million people, with a combined annual value of between $500 and $700
billion, making Q Television extremely appealing to today's advertisers."

In addition to work at the exhibition, meetings were held with Barbara
Lemont of
Network Teleport in New Orleans, who had previously announced that
carriage of
the Q Television signal will commence on June 1, 2004 on Telstar 7,
Transponder
1.

Company Overview

This television network was organized to create and develop a network
devoted to
providing television programming for the gay and lesbian community. While
the

the
gay and lesbian population, management also believes that quality
programming
about the gay and lesbian experience, designed to entertain, educate and
inform,
will attract many other segments of the viewing public. The company's
programming will be available on a subscription basis to those desiring
its
programming. The network will broadcast 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

OK this is good I think... although it looks like the soft launch has been moved back (and what do they mean 'previously announced?), we know for certain that it's going to happen.

(SHE IS TIRED OF THE PHONE WITH THE SAME QUESTIONS). SHE LAUGHED. ONLY TEASING "NO PHONE CALLS WOULD BE NOT GOOD." VERY, VERY PLEASANT AS USUAL.

From hotline – a must read

decided to transcribe the hotline message, so if you don't call, you'll know what it said

Our ceo frank olsen is back in the office, but won’t be accepting calls today. He’s busy arranging follow up meetings as a result of the excellent response he received at the convention. We know from your calls and emails that many of you expected or wanted an instant press release Please be reminded the purpose of the NCTA convention was to introduce qtelevision to the cable companies, and to generate an interest in Q, and that is exactly what we did. in addition to our promotional tape, we ran our original gay marriage documentary while we were there and many who watched it stated it was emmy quality and should be submitted for an emmy. Q television has created quite a buzz, and there’s a lot of excitement as a result of our presence at the convention, please be in no doubt as to what a success it was.
Step 2 will be the soft launch, which involves broadcasting samples of our programming to cable and satellite companies so they can get an overview of the quality and type of programs we will be providing.
In the next few weeks you’ll see a great deal of forward movement at Q. we want you to call your cable companies and your satellite companies and ask them to carry the Q television network. When you’ve done so email us at info@qtelevision.com and let us know which cable company you’ve called and your zip code, this will give us an idea where the greatest demand is for Q television, so we have more leverage in our negotiations with the cable and satellite companies in that area.
Once again the convention generated a lot of excitement about Q television, which was our whole reason for being there, so it was very successful.
The soft launch is our next step, and we’ll keep you informed about that.
We’ll have a more detailed and complete update on Tuesday of next week, so please be patient.
Our ceo says to let you know we’re in the ball game now
thank you for your support and keep listening
