lol, not acting dumb just saying it how I see it. fact is that this company does not look good for a serious gain. I really do hope you all make a killing. I am very serious about that. I just dont see it happening. However if I am wrong, which for your sakes I hope I am, I will be happy for you. Sincerely. However if you look at this all from a different persective (I used to look at it positivley) you might see that there are no real reasons to put money into this stock. I just see a thousand better companies out there that will and should outpreform this one... particularly ones that do what they say they will and put out pr's properly informing the investor(s). This does not seem to happen with the q. At this point the qbaby is severly undernurished and looks to be turning blue. How can I put money into a company that releases pr's and leaves messages that they seem to not follow up on or follow through with? remember that O/S count? I never heard anything about it although promised? remember that list of carriers they were going to announce? I did not hear anything about it? did you? the list can go on and on. I am only trying to state that this does not look good from an investors point of view. It looks good if you want to support the gay comuunity, which I do. They have rights and deserve television, aimed at them. However I dont think I will support them with my money. my dollars have better places to be invested. GLTY and all!

all of this is just my opionon and from memory, if I am wrong please point it out. And as always I reserve the right to change my mind, although at this point I dont see it happening... GLTA

Really hurts watching it drop but if you believe in the company you know that in the future we will all see even bigger gains....do as Diana said and step away....unless you're like me loading up!

MM's are grinning today the *******s....if a PR is released and with the chart indicators obviousely revealing excellant buy in opportunities.

Dear _____

I've been working with Q Television's Webmaster for a couple of weeks on the banner add which you checked out this morning. Today was the first day it was posted and we are aware the link is not funtioning properly. We are working on the glitch now and it should be working correctly as you read this. Should you wish to go back to the site, even thou it displays the message, site not found, if you click on one of the tabs above you will enter the Amazon Herb site. Amazon Herbs has all information you wish I think on the site as per time in bussiness, research, history of the company, etc. Should you have any other question not answered their feel free to write me and inquire and I will endevor to answer.

I am an affillate of Amazon Herbs, not the company itself. I use and market their product, but am not involved in the research or production end of the company.

As far as Q television, I have not inquired of them their plans for revising their website. I would assume they will, but as it is a start up bussiness best I can tell, I would expect that to evlove with their evolution. I selected an advertisement on Q television's web site for the product as I feel the market addressed by Q television to enjoy the product. It is a 'natural health product' which also benefits our planet's enviorment as part of the companies goal is to purchase areas of the rainforest and cultivate the herbs without destroying the forests, which are so important to the general health of our planet's enviorment.

Thank you for your interest and , again, feel free to write me with any questions you may have. If you would, please acknowledge receipt of this email, to verify this portion of the set up is working correctly.

Sincerely,

Miles Colcock

Hello

I am an archtitect by profession. One on my sidelines is the stock market and I ran across Q television in my ever ending seach for stocks. One type of company I look for is one such as Qtv which I percieve could have a niche and good market and could increase in price. Although I consider Qtv highly speculative, could go bust for all I know, but it could also be reaching a heretofore untapped market. I purchased it .0033 cent a few months ago and here is at 12 cents or so today. Its what I call a yo bet 'if you've ver played dice' 15 to 1 odds, so make a small bet on i, one that won't hurt if you loose it 100%.

The idea to place Amazon Herbs on the Qbid website was simply the result of my thinking Qtv's audience contains a large majority of people who are interested in their health, well being and open minded to non western health formulas, etc.

I have not had a great deal of success contacting anyone with qbid ,thou I have not tried very hard, other than their webmaster whom I don't think is a qbid employee, rather, a web designer and maintains their page. That is my assumption. I have heard others have the same luck when trying to reach the 'higher ups' at Q tv. It appears to me it is a very small company, prehaps too undermanned to field many calls. I don't really know.

Your address puzzles me. Are you somehow connected with Qbid?

Again let me know if I can help you in any other way.

Miles Colcock

Fourteen Indicted in Kids' TV Scheme

By LINDA HAUGSTED -- Multichannel News, 2/26/2001

A Colorado grand jury has indicted 14 individuals for securities fraud and other alleged crimes related to the promotion of children's programming network KidZtime to small-scale investors.

According to indictments unsealed last week by Colorado Attorney General Ken Salazar, the defendants and their Colorado corporation, Capital Funding and Financial Group, participated in an illegal investment "scheme" between 1995 and 1999.

Network affiliates raked in an estimated $47 million from investors in the United States, Canada, Holland, Portugal, Germany, Spain, the U.S. Virgin Islands and South Korea, according to the attorney general's office.

This is only the latest suit against the venture or its affiliates. To date, 21 states have filed suits related to the investment venture, known as either KidZtime or the Children's Cable Network, according to Colorado officials. Class-action lawsuits were also filed, including complaints in California and Colorado.

The Colorado case may also result in a change in that state's laws. Legislators are angry that it took Colorado a longer amount of time to shut the venture down than other jurisdictions.

Colorado officials began investigating KidZtime in 1996, but were unable to seek prosecutions because the state does not have what's called a cease-and-desist law. The KidZtime case prompted Colorado lawmakers to introduce a bill revising state securities law.

The Children's Cable Network concept-later renamed KidZtime-was first floated by telemarketers in 1995.

Previous legal actions, including a suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California by the Federal Trade Commission, named longtime cable executive Michael Marcovsky as the architect of the venture designed to locally distribute wholesome, non-violent programming for children.

KidZtime purported to hold the rights to children's programming that featured marquee performers such as Shari Lewis and Bill Cosby, according to marketing materials provided to investors.

According to the marketing pitch used by both KidZtime and Children's Cable Network affiliates, media markets would be divided into 50 units and sold to investors for $10,000 each.

Of the $500,000 collected per market, plaintiffs allege, the CCN or KidZtime corporation retained all but $75,000. That amount was to be paid to a local management company.

The ventures were intended to put kid-friendly programming on local access channels and sell advertising time-the intended means for earning profits. But some investors said their markets never received tapes, and others said they were sent tapes of poor quality.

In lawsuits, investors alleged that an ad-sales mechanism was never put in place. Investors also claimed the funds collected were used only to attract more investors.

The latest indictments are against the KidZtime Colorado corporation, which had offices in Denver, Lakewood and Columbus, Ohio. Named in the suit are officers of Capital Funding and Financial Group, KidZtime TV Inc., KidZtime TV Management Group and the owners and managers of several independent sales offices.

Capital Funding and Financial Group split from the founding Children's Cable Network in April 1996, according to press reports. The two entities sued each other over business differences.

The Colorado indictment includes charges of securities fraud, theft, racketeering and computer crime. All 84 counts are class 2 to class 6 felonies under state law.

The investigation was jointly conducted by the Colorado Attorney General's Office, the state Securities Commissioner's Office and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The attorney general's office will try the case.

FTC SETTLED EARLIER

Other states ordered KidZtime to refund investors' money, said SEC Colorado office spokesman John Smith, but he didn't know how much actually made it back into investors' hands.

The Marcovsky-linked Children's Cable Network corporation was targeted by "Operation Risky Business," a Federal Trade Commission anti-investment fraud initiative, in 1998. The FTC filed the California lawsuit, shutting down what was left of that incorporated unit.

The FTC claimed the CCN unit had raised $16.5 million. In the months prior to that suit, CCN executives allegedly notified investors that revenues had dwindled to about $650,000.

Executives added that they intended to invest that remaining money in a later Marcovsky venture, My Pet TV, according to the FTC. The latter concept was peddled at the 1997 cable trade shows.

The FTC obtained a restraining order in that action. The court froze the assets of CCN and appointed a receiver.

Federal Trade Commission spokesman Mitch Katz said his agency reached a stipulated agreement Marcovsky in May 1999. Marcovsky and another CCN executive were personally ordered to hand over a total of $304,000 to the federal agency.

Marcovsky also agreed to a $200,000 performance bond requirement. Should the former cable executive attempt to begin any business "generally related" to CCN or My Pet TV, he will be subject to "significant" civil penalties and loss of the bond amount.

It sounds like this guy they hired is in some kind of trouble. Does that mean QBID is going down the same road. I think not. If what you are saying they will be forced to deal with the man's issues. Until I hear something about this straight from Deveny or QBID it is all merely speculation. Again what does his past have to do with drawing up agreements with the carrier's. If the carriers have problems with negotiating with this guy he will be out in a flash. Let's wait and see guys and gals. Fun isn't this. This is better than a soap opera.

I agree with you, except for the speculation thing. This isn't speculation, it's a fact that he was indicted. It's certainly something that's been in play for the last two days and probably a few more to come.

It seems as though he's kept his nose clean since then, and he seems to have the credentials and the contacts to do the job. However, this is bound to have a negative effect... at least until some positive, detail-laden PRs are released. And I mean filled with carriers, advertisers, and a hard-launch date.

If so, congratulations for small quick profit. Huge bucks to come soon!!!

I have finally joined the 1Million Share Holder group here! Plus I can pay some bills this month!

he has a shady past and this is only what he has gotten caught for. how much has he gotten away with and is still getting away with.

if he was a accused for something like child molestation, would you feel comfortable with him moving in next door to your day care?

not bashing,, just trying to keep it real.

Fourteen Indicted in Kids' TV Scheme

By LINDA HAUGSTED -- Multichannel News, 2/26/2001

A Colorado grand jury has indicted 14 individuals for securities fraud and other alleged crimes related to the promotion of children's programming network KidZtime to small-scale investors.

According to indictments unsealed last week by Colorado Attorney General Ken Salazar, the defendants and their Colorado corporation, Capital Funding and Financial Group, participated in an illegal investment "scheme" between 1995 and 1999.

Network affiliates raked in an estimated $47 million from investors in the United States, Canada, Holland, Portugal, Germany, Spain, the U.S. Virgin Islands and South Korea, according to the attorney general's office.

This is only the latest suit against the venture or its affiliates. To date, 21 states have filed suits related to the investment venture, known as either KidZtime or the Children's Cable Network, according to Colorado officials. Class-action lawsuits were also filed, including complaints in California and Colorado.

The Colorado case may also result in a change in that state's laws. Legislators are angry that it took Colorado a longer amount of time to shut the venture down than other jurisdictions.

Colorado officials began investigating KidZtime in 1996, but were unable to seek prosecutions because the state does not have what's called a cease-and-desist law. The KidZtime case prompted Colorado lawmakers to introduce a bill revising state securities law.

The Children's Cable Network concept-later renamed KidZtime-was first floated by telemarketers in 1995.

Previous legal actions, including a suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California by the Federal Trade Commission, named longtime cable executive Michael Marcovsky as the architect of the venture designed to locally distribute wholesome, non-violent programming for children.

KidZtime purported to hold the rights to children's programming that featured marquee performers such as Shari Lewis and Bill Cosby, according to marketing materials provided to investors.

According to the marketing pitch used by both KidZtime and Children's Cable Network affiliates, media markets would be divided into 50 units and sold to investors for $10,000 each.

Of the $500,000 collected per market, plaintiffs allege, the CCN or KidZtime corporation retained all but $75,000. That amount was to be paid to a local management company.

The ventures were intended to put kid-friendly programming on local access channels and sell advertising time-the intended means for earning profits. But some investors said their markets never received tapes, and others said they were sent tapes of poor quality.

In lawsuits, investors alleged that an ad-sales mechanism was never put in place. Investors also claimed the funds collected were used only to attract more investors.

The latest indictments are against the KidZtime Colorado corporation, which had offices in Denver, Lakewood and Columbus, Ohio. Named in the suit are officers of Capital Funding and Financial Group, KidZtime TV Inc., KidZtime TV Management Group and the owners and managers of several independent sales offices.

Capital Funding and Financial Group split from the founding Children's Cable Network in April 1996, according to press reports. The two entities sued each other over business differences.

The Colorado indictment includes charges of securities fraud, theft, racketeering and computer crime. All 84 counts are class 2 to class 6 felonies under state law.

The investigation was jointly conducted by the Colorado Attorney General's Office, the state Securities Commissioner's Office and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The attorney general's office will try the case.

FTC SETTLED EARLIER

Other states ordered KidZtime to refund investors' money, said SEC Colorado office spokesman John Smith, but he didn't know how much actually made it back into investors' hands.

The Marcovsky-linked Children's Cable Network corporation was targeted by "Operation Risky Business," a Federal Trade Commission anti-investment fraud initiative, in 1998. The FTC filed the California lawsuit, shutting down what was left of that incorporated unit.

The FTC claimed the CCN unit had raised $16.5 million. In the months prior to that suit, CCN executives allegedly notified investors that revenues had dwindled to about $650,000.

Executives added that they intended to invest that remaining money in a later Marcovsky venture, My Pet TV, according to the FTC. The latter concept was peddled at the 1997 cable trade shows.

The FTC obtained a restraining order in that action. The court froze the assets of CCN and appointed a receiver.

Federal Trade Commission spokesman Mitch Katz said his agency reached a stipulated agreement Marcovsky in May 1999. Marcovsky and another CCN executive were personally ordered to hand over a total of $304,000 to the federal agency.

Marcovsky also agreed to a $200,000 performance bond requirement. Should the former cable executive attempt to begin any business "generally related" to CCN or My Pet TV, he will be subject to "significant" civil penalties and loss of the bond amount.

The corporation was ordered to refund $600,000, an order that was suspended by the court "because of the venture's financial situation," Katz said.

he has a shady past and this is only what he has gotten caught for. how much has he gotten away with and is still getting away with.

if he was a accused for something like child molestation, would you feel comfortable with him moving in next door to your day care?

Another unforgiving soul. He has nothing to do with whether qbid making it or not making it. The public at large is supporing a Gay, Lesbian Bisexual tv station. We got over the biggest hurdle. Now we question a man's integrity and hold him up under the spot light without a smidgent of evidence that he is bad for this company. Come and get into the 21st century and quit judging. Those of You who have such high standards should be aware of this: someone said once long ago, he who is without fault cast the first stone.

I take it you have thrown many stones.
