WELL GUESS WHAT FOLKS: THERE ISN'T A SINGLE Q-TV CUSTOMER. RCN HAS NOT ONE ORDER FOR Q-TV. SO FOR FRANK TO APOLOGIZE TO IT'S "VALUED" CUSTOMERS IS A JOKE AND A FLAT OUT LIE. THEN AGAIN, HOW IS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT Q-TV WHEN RCN HAS NOTTA ON THE WEBSITE ABOUT Q-TV. FURTHER, THE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN THAT WE WERE TOLD ABOUT JUNE 15 AND WE HIRED THE TOP NOTCH GUY STEVE SEGER WHO WORKED FOR MAJOR MEDIA HOUSES AND TO BEGIN JUNE 21 HAS DONE NOTTA.LET'S SEE.... JUNE 21 TO JULY 21 IS 30-DAYS. JULY 21 TO AUGUST 21 IS 30 DAYS AND NOW BEING MID-SEPTEMBER AND WE GOT NOTTA. AMAZING. SHOOT, YOU WOULD THINK THAT SINCE 2000 WHEN Q FAILED TO LAUNCH, FRANK COULD HAVE WORKED IN SOME ADVERTISERS BETWEEN AA MEETINGS IN THE PAST 3-4 YEARS.
BUT HEY, WE REDUCED OPERATING EXPENSES TO $33,000/MONTH. WE GOT ENOUGH FUNDS TO ASSURE BROADCAST FOR 5 YEARS. GOSH, WE EVEN GOT LUCKY AND GOT ANOTHER 2 MILLION DOLLARS TO SECURE OUR FIRST YEAR BROADCAST. OOOOOO. THE SPECIAL 1ST YEAR INCENTIVES FOR THOSE ADVERTISERS THAT COME ON BOARD. "Q IS ON THE MOVE"
THERE WAS NO Q-TV SIGNAL IN SAN FRANCISCO AND THAT IS ONLY CONFIRMED (AGAIN) BY TODAY'S NEWS. (MORE LIES)
ANOTHER LIE THAT WILL NOT MATERALIZE: WE WILL NOT BE USING FIRESTONE QUALITY PERSONNEL TO BROADCAST OUR PARTIAL LIVE PROGRAMMING STARTING IN OCTOBER. SCHEDULE THIS AND SCHEDULE THAT.
LET'S GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT. NETWORK TELEPORTS WITH BARBARA LAMONT AS PRESIDENT, YOU ALL BETTER LOOK INTO HER AND HER COMPANY. NETWORK TELEPORTS IS NOT THE PROBLEM WITH ANY SIGNAL Q-TV WANTS TO RUN.
THE PROBLEM IS FRANK OLSEN.
THE FACTS ARE UNDISPUTED

Q Television Network (Pink Sheets: QBID) announced today that it will be moving its main satellite connection from New Orleans, LA to Fort Worth, TX. The satellite change was necessary due to signal difficulties the Network has been having since it began running its programming through RCN on September 8th.
"We sincerely apologize to our valued customers for the delay in programming. The testing we did in August and early September was very successful, so weather related problems are suspected," said Frank Olsen President and CEO of Q Television Network. "The networks main goal is to provide quality programming to its audience and we appreciate your patience. RCN has been extremely helpful and professional helping Q correct the signal problems we have been seeing."
The signal will be moved to Fort Worth, TX via Firestone Communications. Firestone will re-digitalize the signal and send it through to RCN for uploading; once this process is complete programming will return without further interruption.
"We want to thank Firestone Communications, which is wholly owned by the Firestone family, for its support and speed in helping Q correct this problem," said Olsen. "We are also pleased to announce that Q Television Network has made an agreement with Firestone to use its studio and quality personnel to produce some of the network's live programming which is scheduled to start airing in October.
Firestone Communications, Inc., is a privately held media company based in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas. The company launched SORPRESA! as its first digital channel offering which is available on Cablevision, Comcast, Cox, Time Warner, and The National Cable TV Cooperative. The company's Board of Directors includes Peter Lund, former President and Chief Executive Officer, CBS Corp.; and Raymond Mason, former Chairman, President and CEO, Charter Group.
