Please, PLEASE do not get your hopes up about seeing Dan Rather mention QTV on the CBS Evening News. CBS is owned by Viacom, and he'll probably be speaking about Logo at the convention. I bet his bosses wouldn't even allow him to report on QTV.
I'd love for it to happen, but I'd hate to see more selling based on unrealistic expectations not being met... again.

i think that was very stupid of them to mention that.
Couldn't agree more. A big PR firm like Deveney shouldn't let their clients put out BS updates like this.

Actually, since he's one of the guest speakers at a convention, it's standard practice to announce that you are going to try to get a few minutes to speak with him. They usually have time put aside for such things, and when they say "you have a minute" they really mean that you have about 20 seconds, so you'd better make it good.
I agree though, don't get your hopes up about seeing Dan Rather reporting on the Q. That won't happen. The most you'll see is Dan's response to "did you know that Logo isn't first, but Q Television is?"... which will probably be something like "No, I didn't. Thanks."... and that will probably NOT be aired on a major network. It'll be in a small gay publication. JMHO though.

Okay, two out of the three things in the Press release are great, the other is wishful thinking. Why are you even harping on the Dan Rather thing, who cares...
What is important is the convention in New York and the advertising campaign. This will bring us the plublicity we need!
I don't know why they said the thing about Dan Rather, seeing how he is under Viacom but who knows...
The bigger issue is the convention... In my opinion.

The convention will be on the news in New York and other cities--with or without Dan Rather. Yes, it would be great if our Barbara could meet with their Barbara to arrange a private meeting with Dan, but QBID will get publicity regardless of how that plays. Anything is possible with contracts still in the working stage. There are so very many, many possibities. . . . QBID is a demand product--also, this is an election year. Dan seems to have an interest in politics--Clinton on last Sunday.

Frank Olsen, our CEO, will be back in the office tomorrow. In the meantime, he has provided the following update:
Scott Seger, our Vice-president of advertising and John Deveny of Deveny Communications, our public relations firm, are representing us at the National Lesbian and Gay Journalist Association Annual Convention in New York today and tomorrow. During this time, they will meet with individual press publications.
Also, Barbara Lamont of Network Teleports, our satellite company, is attempting to set up a meeting privately with Dan Rather, who is a guest speaker at the convention.
We have reserved space in four major publications. What we actually say in these ads depends on how many signed contracts have been returned to us by the time of the advertising deadlines, and also what free coverage we get from the press at the Gay Journalist Convention.
Our next target is to inform you of our carriage companies and detailed information on our programming.
We are on schedule.
Have a nice day and thank you for calling.

NLGJA National Convention to host Dan Rather, Margaret Carlson, David Brock and Ted Allen
June 24-27, New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge
New York, NY (June 19, 2004) – Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender journalists will gather in New York from June 24 through June 27 for the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA) 2004 National Convention. This year’s theme – “Out on the Town” – will focus on the massive news coverage in the past year of LGBT civil rights, including marriage of same-sex couples.
The convention will host some of the nation’s top names in journalism and media, including CBS News’ Dan Rather, CNN’s Margaret Carlson, author David Brock and “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” food and wine expert Ted Allen. In addition, CBS’s Harry Smith and The Poynter Institute’s ethicist Kelly McBride will examine continuing newsroom ethical challenges in plenary sessions at the convention.
The four-day gathering will draw hundreds of journalists from mainstream and LGBT media to discuss topics that include politics in a presidential election year, HIV/AIDS, the arts, emerging communities within LGBT culture, and journalistic ethics.
The 2004 NLGJA Convention will take place at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge (333 Adams Street, Brooklyn). NLGJA’s executive director, Pamela Strother, noted that up to 650 LGBT journalists and news industry leaders are expected to attend, adding, “Our presenters, workshops and plenary sessions promise to make this one of the most compelling conventions ever.” NLGJA leaders Barbara Dozetos and David Steinberg served as this year’s convention programming co-chairs. Mykel MacCarthy and Maria Baugh are the New York Host Committee co-chairs.
David Brock, author of four political books, including the newly released The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy will take the stage Friday from 4:30-5:45pm for a special plenary, “Conversation with a Newsmaker.” Garret Glaser, correspondent, CNBC Business News will interview Brock about his new organization, Media Matters for America, and his years as a conservative media insider.
Evan Wolfson, executive director of Freedom to Marry, will review the latest developments and future activity of marriage for same-sex couples, which has dominated headlines for months. Before founding Freedom to Marry, Wolfson was co-counsel in the historic Hawaii marriage case, Baehr v. Miike.
“No other convention delivers as high-quality content examining the coverage of LGBT issues,” said NLGJA president Steven Petrow. “In a year of unprecedented coverage of LGBT issues, NLGJA is uniquely qualified to distill and bring expert focus on LGBT politicians, the national political landscape, marriage, gay youth, health care and HIV/AIDS, as well as the extremely important issues facing transgender people in our society.” Petrow is Senior Vice-President, Editorial Director and Group Publisher for Waterfront Media.
The opening breakfast plenary promises a splash of news attention for the 2004 election cycle with “Asking and Telling: How the LGBT Debate Is Changing Politics,” featuring Rather, Carlson and David A. Sirulnick, Executive Vice President, News & Production, MTV.
NLGJA hosts its first-ever LGBT Media Summit with tracks of panels on Thursday, June 24, on topics relevant to journalists who work in the LGBT press. Featured speakers include Leslie Feinberg, Evan Wolfson and Michelangelo Signorile.
The National Convention is hosted by the New York Chapter of NLGJA, with speakers and participants from most major U.S. newspapers and television and radio outlets as well as LGBT-owned media and new media services.
A partial list of this year’s speakers and participants include:
Dan Rather, Anchor and Managing Editor, CBS Evening News & Correspondent, 60 Minutes II David Brock, author Margaret Carlson, columnist, Time magazine Harry Smith, Anchor, CBS’s The Early Show Ted Allen, Food and Wine Expert, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy Pete Williams, Justice Correspondent, NBC News Roy Simmons, former offensive lineman for the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins Hon. Barney Frank (D), U.S. Congressman, Massachusetts David Remnick, Editor, New Yorker Magazine Howard Chua-Eoan, News Director, Time magazine Charles Kaiser, author of The Gay Metropolis Kelly McBride, Ethics Faculty, The Poynter Institute Stuart Elliott, Advertising Columnist, The New York Times Dr. Lillian Dunlap, Media Consultant, Strategic Insight Matthew Link, Associate Editor, Newsweek’s Budget Travel magazine Ed Gray, former Sports Reporter, Boston Herald Michael Feingold, Chief Theater Critic, The Village Voice Liz Hamel, Sr. Research Associate in Public Opinion and Media Research, Kaiser Family Foundation Tim Curran, News Director, Sirius OUTQ Sia Michel, Editor in Chief, Spin Magazine Gwen Smith, Columnist/Founder, Trans Remembrance Day Web Project Bruce Shenitz, Executive Editor, Out Magazine

Hello pharmdman... and thank you for your welcome. I have posted on the QBID tally of my holdings since 02/09/04 with a total of 5,250,000 shares I totally believe in this company. I have been reviewing all pr's and everything about this company. I firmly believe it is our time... WE WILL LAUNCH! All we have to do is take a look at all there promises and projections over the past several months and it clearly states this is a good viable company, and yes just like anything in life we must take a risk to get ahead. But people take a look and see the potential - It's there - Yes we can be subduable, but that is a choice and I choose to believe.... Good luck to you all... I'm holding strong............

SAMPLE LETTER
DEAR GAY/LESBIAN ADVOCATE,
A new network about the Gay and Lesbian experiences will be available for carriage July 2004, in your territories. I find this to be exciting information.
A compressed broadcast day is available for viewing through the end of June on Satellite 1A-7, Transponder C1 at downlink frequency 3731.425 MHz Horizontal. 129 Degrees West. Channel 1.
In addition to motion pictures, documentaries and series, Q Television Network, will go into the communities and report the news that is vital to it's members. With the new bureaus available to Q Television worldwide, QTN plans to be the 1st Gay/Lesbian network of choice.
You may contact the offices of Q Television Network at 760-323-4455 and speak with Steven Grunberg or Frank Olsen for further information.
Here is one of the latest news releases RE: Q Television Network
Q Television Network Has Arrived: New Gay Family Television Network Showcases its Unique Perspective Prior to Public Launch 5/26/2004 6:00:00 AM
NEW ORLEANS, May 26, 2004, (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 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 1A-7, Transponder C1 at downlink frequency 3731.425 MHz Horizontal. 129 degrees West. Channel 1.
Olsen, an entrepreneur with a significant background in broadcasting, 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, DC, 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 composed 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.
For more information regarding carriage and advertising opportunities, contact the network at 760-323-4455 to talk with Frank Olsen or Steven Grunberg. http://www.qtelevision.com/

This was what I was trying to say. SIRI is only a radio network! They have 1.5 billion OS, haven't reported a profit, trading at $3 a share & they're not even the front runner. XMSR is trading over $20 & they too have never reported a profit.
Even if we were to trade on par with a radio network (SIRI) & have all of our 15 billion authorised shares outstanding that would put us at .30 a share.
But then I remind myself,,,
"Self, Broadcasting National TV Networks do not trade for less than $1 a share!"

Newbie question--The guys on IBC Radio said a couple of times today that they think QBID is diluted. It sounds negative, like it's weak, but what did they mean, and what do some of you more experienced traders think about that comment? GO QBID!
