quote:Originally posted by Bialystock: Agreed. I remember there used to be a comedy channel called "Ha!" running for quite some time next to another Comedy Channel, and even given that they were basically the same product serving the same market, they both launched and ran successfully for a while before they merged as (I think) Comedy Central. Variety was good. Any two gay-themed channels have MUCH more opportunity to adopt their own unique slant on serving their market than does a comedy channel. The material is just so much more rich, and the palette more vast. Just look at how many times you see the same format in cooking shows being successful over and over and over, just by changing the style of cooking. I can see a gay themed music channel, a gay themed home & living channel, a gay themed movie channel, a gay themed reality/youth market channel, a Lesbian-issues only channel, and on and on, each being completely independent and successful in the long run. "Gay themed" should not mean gimmick, it just means "market" and this market is huge. I have no worries about this Logo thing, in fact I feel more excited than ever, and even vindicated as an investor for believing in an idea before Viacom commited to something similar. So should you. Logo will not make Q better or worse when it launches, well over 6 months earlier, by the way...it can only help to "out" our Q that much bigger and grander. Someone get that decency league on the phone about the Q! We need some good old fashioned controversy. Now that the media is searching for other targets while awaiting Logo, it is ONLY A MATTER OF TIME before they pick us up and make us a household phenomenon. Just my opinion, but the media is known to work like that. Funny that we get a new attractive website today suddenly...just in time to start emailing the link out to every news organization we can think of, yes, again, in light of this news. Not gonna speculate further, but it seems serendipitous. I'm getting started right now! Hope you all saved your list of news organization email addresses as well.
GET BUSY FOLKS..DO A SHORT COVER LETTER AND THE Q WEBSITE AND START E-MAILING.
YOU KNOW ME "JONNY ON THE SPOT." AND/OR DIANA-- ONE OF ME IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE. IT'S LIKE A VARIETY PACK--YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHICH ONE OF ME YOU WILL GET!! LOL
THIS IS AMAZING..VIACOM JUST HAPPENS TO COME OUT WITH THIS?? AFTER Q DOES A TEST LAUNCH. AFTER THE NETWORK CONVENTION. AFTER ALL THE PUBLICITY Q HAS GOTTEN. AFTER THEY (VIACOM) PUBLICLY DECLARED THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE IT YEARS AGO AND THE NETWORK WOULD WORTH BILLIONS. AFTER Q TELLS US OF GREAT NEWS ON WED PR. AFTER Q HAS ALL THE CONTRACTS ALIENED AND CORPORATE ATTORNEY'S ARE CROSSING THE T'S AND DOTTING THE I'S.
AND LASTLY AFTER VIACOM ANNOUNCED THEY HAD DISMISSED THE IDEA?
NO INSIDER SELLS--TO RAISE CAPITAL. WHO IS LITERALLY (FIGURATIVELY??) BEHIND FRANK???
HELP ME OUT HERE FOLKS? I HOPE WE FIND OUT SOON!!!! LEAVING VIACOM OUT OF THE EQUATION OR ADDING VIACOM IN THE EQUATION DOES NOT REALLY EFFECT THE POTENTIAL OF Q IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS OF TRADING. IMHO
AM I, ONCE AGAIN, TO FAR OUTSIDE THE BOX??? I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM. OF COURSE, I DO TEND TO SEE THE GLASS IS ALWAYS FULL AND OVERFLOWING.....
I OPENED UP MY FIRST RENTAL MANAGEMENT COMPANY IN A COLLEGE TOWN WITH HUNDREDS OF REALTORS AND MANAGEMENT COMPANIES. I HAD TO UNDERCUT THE BIG BOY'S. THRU MASS MAILING (WOW-E-MAILING WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT THEN..LOL) UNDERCUTTING THE COMPETITION--OFFERING MORE PERSONAL SERVICES, LESS RENTAL MANAGEMENT FEE'S, AND FULL TIME/ON CALL MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT (MY BOYFRIEND--NEWLY INCORPORATED MAINTENANCE COMPANY D AND D INC. LOL) TO SUBCONTRACT OUT ALL THE LABOR AT GREATLY REDUCED SET FEE'S FOR FULL SERVICE LAWN AND BUILDING UPKEEP--HEATING, COOLING, PLUMING, PAINTING ETC. SET RATES FOR FULL CLEANING SERVICE (HALLWAYS, OFFICE AND APARTMENT CLEANING) MY BEST FRIEND (HIEDI AND MYSELF) NEWLY INCORPORATED CLEANING COMPANY H AND D INC. LOL
IS THAT TRIPLE DIPPING OR WHAT???
RAN THAT BUSINESS RIGHT OUT MY HOME OFFICE FOR 5 YEARS. SOLD THE HOME, MANAGEMENT COMPANY, CLEANING COMPANY AND MAINTENANCE COMPANY AS A PACKAGE. IT WAS SWEET.
WITHIN 3 MONTH I HAD 900 UNITS TO MANAGE. UPON SELLING HAD A LITTLE OVER 3000 UNITS ON CONTRACT NOT COUNTING THE 96 UNITS I HAD ACQUIRED OF MY OWN.
SUCCESS IS A CHOSEN LIFESTYLE--NEVER TRYING IS THE DISEASE.
IMHO VIACOM VALIDATING THE DEMAND AND THE VIABILITY FOR SUPPLY, ONLY ENHANCES THE Q'S INITIAL SUCCESS.

ok folks--The Q hits 2.00-- 2 weeks in Maine. Vacation capital of the world. Kennebunk Port, ME 15 miles. Boston, MASS 80 miles. Rochester, NH 30 miles. Ogunquit Beach, ME 18 miles. Portland, ME 60 miles. Camdon, ME 140 miles. White River Junction, VT 4-5 hours drive. Atlantic City, NJ 7 hours drive.
Live on the Q. The new reality show "daytraders dream vacation."
Wake up to the beautiful lake clear natural spring fed lake water (stand with water to your knee's and see your feet.)
EAT ALL THE FRESH COLD WATER SEAFOOD YOUR LITTLE HEARTS CAN HOLD, SWIM, DRINK, LOUNGE, FISHING, BOATING, SKIING, TUBE FESTS, BARBEQUE'S, VACATION, TRAVEL AND ENJOY. WE CAN GO UP TO THE "MOUNTAIN" AND DO SOME SKEET SHOOTING. ( I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL HAVE BEEN POSTING ON THIS BOARD LONG ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THE STORY ABOUT ME COLLECTING GUNS AND MY FIRST EXPERIENCE SHOOTING A M-11--RAPID FIRE--WITH A 30 ROUND CLIP UP ON THE "MOUNTAIN") IT WAS PRETTY FUNNY. ANYWAY, VACATION ON ME. MIGHT HAVE TO BRING A COUPLE OF SLEEPING BAGS. LOL
I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I GOT ARRESTED IN MAINE. THERE HAD BEEN A STORM AND MY FRIENDS AND I WERE ALL DRUNK AND FULL OF DRUGS AND GOT THE MUNCHIES. WE CRUISED THE BEACH FOR LOBSTER TRAPS THAT WASHED UP. WE WERE SCOOPING UP LOBSTERS RIGHT AND LEFT. GOT BACK TO MY HOUSE AND WERE EATING LOBSTER, EGGS, BACON AND FRENCH TOAST WHEN THE POLICE ARRIVED. SOMEONE HAD TAKEN DOWN MY LICENSE PLATE #. IT WASN'T PRETTY....I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A CRIME. PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DONE IT ANYWAY. JUST WOULD HAVE PARKED DOWN THE STREET AND BEEN A LITTLE MORE QUIET. LOL THE TWO OFFICERS ACCUALLY SAT DOWN AND ATE BEFORE THEY ARRESTED ME FOR TRESPASSING AND PUBLIC THEFT OF PRIVATE PROPERTY (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT). LOL
THAT WOULD BE A BLAST..LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I WATCHED SOME PEOPLE SELLING THE STOCK TICK BY TICK AND I WONDERED WHAT MUST BE GOING ON IN THIER MINDS? I HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF INSIDE THE BOX....I APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF THEIR AWARENESS OF THEIR OWN FINANCIAL TOLERANCE LEVEL. WITHOUT YING, YOU HAVE NO YANG.

Talk about Maine reminds me of Minnesota where I was raised. I still travel back there every year for Labor Day weekend reunions. Cabins by the lake in Northern Minn. with fishing ,tubing,skiing,huge campfires, card games, feasts and whip cream fights,LOL. I'm in for Maine!
As to QBID competing with Logo or anyone else, also remember this, it only takes one really good series to make a huge impact. QBID may just come up with their equivelant to Star Trek.

It wasn't much of a thorn for me, but I'm glad to know that they're actually working on it... although, I am a firm believer that FAQ's should actually be "Q"'s... and have preferably been "A", "F"

Move Over Fab 5: Q Television Has Arrived; New Gay Family Television Network Showcases its Unique Perspective Prior to Public Launch
NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 2004--Q Television Network (Pink Sheets: QBID), headquartered in California, announces the launch of a subscriber channel for the gay and lesbian community in July 2004. An industry soft launch for carriers and advertisers begins June 1, 2004.
"It has taken more than seven years and millions of dollars to arrive at this day," says president and chairman Frank Olsen. "Clearly, the time to launch this network is now, and I am confident that the gay and lesbian community will embrace the unique perspective we offer as a family channel."
In a pre-public move to preview a sample of its programming to cable and satellite industry professionals, as well as potential advertisers, Q Television Network will offer a compressed daily broadcast that includes featured programs. The sample highlights Q Television's availability for carriage and sponsorship.
As executive vice president Steven Grunberg notes, "This is built by and for the gay community. Rather than a smattering of stereotyped gay characters offered because current market projections indicate it would be profitable, we offer a channel that will unite the gay and lesbian audience through a network that educates, entertains and informs - a network of real value."
Beginning June 1, the network will be available for viewing on Intelsat America's 7, 129 degrees West, Channel 1.
Olsen, an entrepreneur with a significant background in broadcast, was instrumental in the launch of The Movie Channel prior to its acquisition by Showtime. A pioneer in the development of new radio broadcast formats throughout his 40-year career, Olsen helped create African American radio and started the first gay radio stations.
"Just as CNN had tremendous hurdles to overcome, Frank and Q Television Network have had an uphill battle in the launch of Q Television," observes CFO Rene Schenk. "Q Television is positioned to successfully meet the demand that exists for a gay family channel."
Original and Acquired Programming
With a system of production crews throughout the United States, Q Television Network will offer a combination of original and acquired programming, which includes sports, fashion, travel, health & fitness, talk shows, plays, documentaries and movies. Teams of producers and directors will also bring breaking stories of interest to the network's audience via access to bureaus in Washington, D.C., New York, London, Paris, Moscow, Jerusalem and Iraq.
A preview of original programming premiered in May at the National Cable & Telecommunication Association's annual industry conference and was also included in a successful five-hour sample broadcast on May 15, which aired on Cox Cable in Louisiana and Comcast in the Puget Sound Region.
Included in that preview was "I Will, I Do, We Did," an original Q Television documentary exploring gay and lesbian marriage in America that offers an inside glimpse of the challenges faced by this community. Independent films, such as "An Intimate Friendship" and the award-winning "Straightman," are other examples of what will be available on the network, as well as commercial fare such as Bette Midler's "Divine Madness" concert.
About Q Television Network
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.

Teams of producers and directors will also bring breaking stories of interest to the network's audience via access to bureaus in Washington, D.C., New York, London, Paris, Moscow, Jerusalem and Iraq.
Is there a connection between these two statements. Are the camera crews they have available possibly connected to CNN?

that's a huge possibility... they're obviously aligned with another "network" and I'd suspect it is one that Frank has previous ties to....
