Bigrod, I know this is old but they did it before, they'll do it again. Especially if they want people investing in them. This was posted on their FAQ page few years ago.Sept. 6, 2001 QBID posts FAQ on website.
1. What is the Triangle Television Network?
The Triangle Television Network (TTN) launched on September 5, 2001. TTN is the world’s first television network broadcasting television programming exclusively devoted to the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender (GLBT) communities. The network is approximately 75% gay owned and 80% gay operated. TTN has been in the development stage for over 8 years.
Our mission is to provide high-quality programming designed to entertain, educate and inform the GLBT community. TTN wants to bring the gay world to your home with programming created especially for you.
2. How do I receive TTN?
TTN offers an open-tier, digital signal available on TelStar 7, Transponder 1 located at 129 degrees west longitude. The footprint for our signal covers the continental US, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Vancouver, Canada.
If you do not have the proper sophisticated C-Band equipment to view TTN, your cable company or satellite provider must carry the signal. We wish you could just flip a switch and begin viewing TTN; but, of course, the television broadcast business is not that simple.
As people begin to request TTN and we show the cable and satellite providers that TTN will generate enough revenue to justify being carried by them, I assure you they will carry us. But you must call in and request TTN.
The TTN signal is available to all cable companies within our footprint. Also, our signal is available for both major satellite providers, DirecTV and The Dish Network. Additionally, the TTN signal is available for the smaller private satellite systems that provide service to gated communities, hotels and apartment complexes. If you want to know more about receiving TTN with a smaller, private system, please contact Ron Foster in our engineering department for service information.
For individual residential users that would like to view TTN, there are two steps you need to follow:
Step 1: Contact your local cable or satellite provider and tell them “I want my TTN”. (See below if they tell you they have not heard of TTN)
Step 2: E-mail us with your zip code. This information will assist us as we solicit the cable companies that are most in demand by you, the subscriber.
BONUS STEP: Tell your friends to do the same.
If you do not know who your local cable provider is, then e-mail us (paris@triangletelevisionnetwork.com) and we will let you know.
People that have the proper C-Band equipment can receive TTN from the satellite coordinates above.
3. Is TTN a subscription channel?
Once TTN becomes available through your local cable or satellite provider and you are able to become a subscriber, you will receive a free 30-day viewing period, after which your monthly subscription fee of $14.95 will be billed by your local cable company or satellite provider.
4. How do I contact TTN?
TTN is always looking to enhance our product and service. We are open and ready for suggestions from the community. Please contact us at 760.322.1217 or by email (paris@triangletelevisionnetwork.com).
5. What is the TTN programming standard?
We consider TTN a family channel. Just because we offer gay and lesbian programming does not mean we are pornographic. Our broadcast standards are the same standards that channels such as Showtime and HBO adhere to.
TTN programming will consist of a combination of originally produced programming, gay and lesbian oriented movies, local programming from various cities across America, serials from around the world as well as special event programming. Future plans call for the development of both a full-scale news department and news magazine programs skewed to the gay and lesbian community. Additionally, TTN will broadcast a variety of locally produced programs, such as Gay Court and Gay Bandstand, as well as gay sitcoms. We will also cover national gay events, such as AIDS Conferences and Gay Pride events worldwide. Our Gay Icon series will include features about artists, writers, actors and historical figures.
What should I do when I call my cable company or satellite provider and they say they’ve never heard of TTN?
The best answer is to say, “The TTN phone number is 760.322.1217. I am sure they would be delighted to send your company a media kit and licensing agreement for TTN. As a matter of fact, as a potential subscriber to TTN, I will call them myself for you. Please let me know whom I should have them send the media kit to.”
7. What is corporate doing to make sure TTN is going to be available so I may be able to view TTN?
Currently, we are continuing to negotiate with the two major satellite providers and several major cable companies to carry TTN. Beginning Sept 20, the TTN sales and licensing department will be aggressively contacting the remaining cable companies to solicit licensing agreements to carry TTN.
