NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2004--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 company expects much of its subscriber base to be comprised of members of 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. Providing distribution via satellite ensures availability of the network across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

>************************************
>Survey: Gay Consumers Among The Earliest Technology Adopters
>By Newswire Report
>Thursday, July 17, 2003
>Gay men and women are among the first to adopt new devices and online
>tools,
>making them an important demographic for online marketers. That's according
>to
>Forrester Research, Inc., which for the first time recently asked
>respondents
>to its annual Consumer Technographics Benchmark Study of 60,000 households
>to
>indicate their sexual orientation. "Gays Are The Technology Early Adopters
>You Want" includes data on device adoption and online behavior by gay men
>and
>women, as well as recommendations on how to best market to this influential
>group.
>
>"Gay men and women are tech-savvy consumers who use the Internet and tech
>devices at significantly higher rates than their heterosexual counterparts
>for
>shopping, banking, entertainment, and community building," said Jed Kolko,
>principal analyst at Forrester. "Marketers need to take a close look at the
>consumer behavior of gay men and women to determine a strategy in targeting
>a group
>of consumers who have been consistently overlooked."
>
>In addition to being wealthier and better educated, gay men and women are
>avid Internet users. Eighty percent of gay men and 76 percent of lesbians
>are
>online, compared with 70 percent of straight men and 69 percent of straight
>women. Gays are also one-third more likely to have broadband connections
>and have
>been online longer than heterosexuals. Twenty-nine percent of gay men and
>women
>have been online for more than seven years, versus 18% of heterosexuals.
>
>Although any group of higher-income, more highly educated consumers will be
>earlier adopters of technology, significant differences in gays' technology
>behavior emerged after adjusting statistically for online tenure and
>demographic
>differences. Gay men, for example, are more likely to own portable MP3
>players
>and browser-enabled phones, and they are more than two times likelier to
>own
>a personal video recorder (PVR) device like TiVo. Gay men and women also
>turn
>to the Internet in higher numbers for entertainment and community-building
>activities. The Internet makes it easier for gays to meet online without
>the
>pressures of losing one's anonymity and provides a link to the gay
>community
>through tools like text chat, instant messaging, and personal Web pages.
>
>In an effort to reach gay consumers, Forrester recommends that marketers
>target gay audiences directly by advertising in gay publications and at gay
>events. Additionally, because gay men and women differ from heterosexuals
>in many of
>the same ways when it comes to consumer behavior, marketers can treat the

>What is the Gay Market?
>Gays and lesbians are sometimes elusive to quantify, but major advertisers

>find
>them and for good reason. A recent study conducted by the Connecticut-based
>Greenfield Online, found that the average annual household income for gays
>and
>lesbians is $57,000. The New York-based Company, Spare Parts, Inc., which
>helps companies market to gays, estimates that the United States gay and
>lesbian
>population is between 15 million to 23 million. According to another study
>(Inter@ctive Week, August 30, 1999. Pg. 20.), the US gay community consists
>of
>over 19 million people with an estimated buying power of $800 billion.
>Worldwide,
>these figures are much larger.

>PHILADELPHIA - The travel industry, already excited about the growing niche
>of gay tourism, hopes the recent surge in same-xxx marriage translates into
>a
>new travel segment: gay honeymoons.
>In the wake of a handful of cities' granting marriage licenses to same-xxx
>couples, merchants catering to gay couples have seen a spike in business,
>as
>limousine services, photographers and vacation locations try to attract the
>dollars being spent by gay couples.
>Gayweddings.com, an advertising portal for wedding resources and vacation
>getaways, has seen its number of advertisers increase fourfold since a
>November
>court ruling in Massachusetts that will allow gay couples to marry in
>mid-May.
>"It's been a big boom," said K.C. David, president of the Web site, which
>has
>been online since 2000.
>The travel industry is embracing the new segment nationwide, from Portland,
>Ore., where same-xxx couples can get a marriage license, to Pennsylvania,
>where
>couples are holding commitment ceremonies. Tour operators in several states
>have set up special rates for gay honeymooners.
>The Bucks County Conference and Visitors Bureau in suburban Philadelphia
>had
>a booth at the Same xxx Wedding Expo held in New York last month, whose
>exhibitors included travel planners and hotels. Bucks County even has a
>dedicated
>gay Web site: www.gaybuckscounty.com.
>"It's definitely a market that has a lot of potential for us," said Keith
>Toler, executive director of the Bucks County tourism bureau.
>Gay marriage has provided "an economic boom" to Portland, Ore., as gay
>couples and their families fly in for weddings, said Joe D'Alessandro,
>president of
>the Portland Oregon Visitors Association.
>"As this continues, people are planning receptions and much more formal
>weddings," he said. "As it matures, it becomes an even greater economic
>boost."
>How same-xxx marriage might increase gay tourism was a hot topic last week
>at
>the fifth annual International Conference on Gay and Lesbian Tourism in
>West
>Hollywood, Calif., said conference attendee Jeff Guaracino, of the Greater
>Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corp.
>Regional tourism bureaus and companies like Delta Air Lines, American
>Airlines and Avis attended the convention to see how they can attract
>business from
>gay tourism, which Guaracino said is in its "infancy stage." He said gay
>honeymooners are a "a niche within a niche."
>"Destinations are wrestling with this new market and new opportunity," he
>said.
>Gay travelers spend $54 billion a year, according to an analysis by
>Community
>Marketing Inc., a firm that monitors gay tourism and which hosted last
>week's
>international gay and lesbian tourism seminar.
>The gay travel market is particularly lucrative because gays tend to have
>more disposable income and a greater propensity for travel than non-gays,
>according to Community Marketing.
>Philadelphia, which launched a gay campaign last fall using the slogan "Get
>your history straight, and your nightlife gay," is now producing a
>commercial
>targeting gays.
>That commercial will be the first by a city to target a gay audience, said
>Mike Wilke, executive director of the Commercial Closet Association, a
>nonprofit
>group that tracks gay representation in ads.
>The commercial - combined with an increase in gay print advertisements from
>places like Key West, Fla., and Provincetown, Mass., the last several years
>-
>shows that awareness and acceptance of gays has reached a "critical mass,"
>Wilke said.
>"It's interesting that (the commercial) is coming from Philadelphia, which
>most people don't consider the gayest place," Wilke said.
>Avis, which had a local representative at the California convention last
>week, has been courting gay travelers for years, said spokesman Ted
>Deutsch.
>"We see the gay and lesbian market as significant in size and very brand
>loyal," he said. "And we believe in serving as many customers as possible."

NOW WE'RE PUT OFF TO JUNE 1. MID MAY, MID MAY. AS MUCH AS I WILL BE THE ONE TO HANG TOUGH, I WILL ALSO BE THE FIRST ONE TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THE BULLCRAP OF MOVING BROADCAST BACK TO JUNE 1. WELL IT'S ONLY A FEW WEEKS LONGER AND NO IT'S NOT. EITHER YOU HAVE PROGRAMMING AND SATELLITE SIGNAL READY TO TEST OR YOU DON'T. 2 WEEKS MORE IS NOT GOING TO HELP TIE UP A FEW LOOSE ENDS. NOT AFTER ALL THIS TIME!

OUR SOFT BROADCAST IS ESENTIALLY TO TEST OUR SIGNAL TO MAKE SURE IT'S WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. SEND OUT A GAY VERSION OF THE MUPPET MOVIE OR CASH AT BUTCH CAMP WITH A DISCLOSURE AT THE BOTTOM THAT SAYS "THIS IS ONLY A TEST FOR OUR UPCOMING SIGNAL FOR THE PREMIERE GAY AND LESBIAN BROADCAST FOR THE 21ST CENTURY."

hey guys,
just wanted to let you all know, i called the Q and found out that it's the "soft launch" that's going to be on june 1st.

they're going to release PR as soon as they can about cable companies and advertisers, but the woman stressed that it takes time to get all that stuff worked out. understandably so. here's the number i called. 760-323-4455

Have faith...

I rather they move the launch back two weeks and have everything right versus the possibility that they rush it and something goes wrong. Which looks worse to the investor?

FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE SEC. YOU CAN DO THIS RIGHT ON THE INTERNET. WHAT; DID U4TSAF2 JUST SAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST HIS BABY QBID?

YES I DID.

2 WEEKS IS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE FOR ME AND MY POSITION. WE ARE SEEING INITIAL SIGNS OF WHAT HAPPENED IN 01. OLE FRANK IS OPENING HIMSELF WIDE OPEN AS WELL AS HIS IMMEDIATE PARTNERS WITH REGARD TO THIS.

NOW. FROM YOUR POINT OF VIEW, FILING THIS COMPLAINT DOES NOT ESTABLISH MALICIOUS PROSECUTION MEANING YOU FILED SAID COMPLAINT WITHOUT MERIT. QBID IS TAKING THE STEP OF PUTTING US OFF ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME TILL JUNE 1.

------->WHEN YOU FILE YOUR COMPLAINT, IF FRANK CONTINUES TO DO WHAT HE SAYS HE'LL DO, Q-TV BROADCASTS/STARTS THERE WONT BE A PROBLEM.<------

BUT IF THE CRAP STARTS AGAIN, AT LEAST WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM AND HIS ASSOCIATED IN CUFFS AND HAVING TO POST BAIL.
