I can tell we should be getting ready to run. The bashers can't dispute now that we are on air so they are making up new make believe stories on Q now. I knew better then to read the RB board, they are all full of it. Oh well, just a few more days till Oct and lots of things happening next month.

When I say this, I don't think it matters myself. New ways of doing things happen all the time.
Most premium channels that cost $7.95 or more are usually movie channels. There is no premium channel out there for a specific target group like Q. We are really closer to what BET started out as. They targeted the African Anericans. Now most of these types of channels start out on a tier or package level on a cable network. Lets say you wanted the family package through my cable company with cost $20.00 a month, you get about 15 extra channels like NIck, toon, ABC family, Disney, Nick 2, etc. Your are really paying a premium but its in a package. Q will be the first new network (thats not a movie channel) thats going to be a stand alone premium channel at a cost of $7.95 a month. I think that since no other cahnnel offers a complete news, movies, talk shows for a guy/lesbian group that it will take off but this type of format has really never been tried before and new things can make some leary until they can see the money. We know the money will come but I think that some will need to see the numbers.

Ric, how do other premiums differ from QTN? Is it in the price?
We don't have HBO, but we could subscribe for $??? a month.
quote:Originally posted by firefly: "raining on parades since 1976" That says alot. I agree, we need subs, adv., and exposure. Your tone is dismal Robin O.
McFly
No, not dismal. Realistic.
Given enough time I think QTN could do well, but to do so, certain things need to happen. Let's reverse engineer this shall we:
Subscribers will start signing up when they're aware of QTN. Awareness will happen with a major marketing/advertising campaign. A major marketing/advertising campaign will happen whey they have gobs of money to do one. Gobs of money will roll in with corporate/VC backing. Corporate/VC backing will occur when these companies can take QTN seriously. These companies will take QTN seriously when they can actually analyze it and make a determination to invest. They can actually analyze QTN and make a determination to invest when they can see the financials. They can see the financials when Frank decides to start reporting them to the SEC.
Therefore, I'm highly optimistic that this could do extremely well and be the next BET, OLN, etc...... once they become a reporting company. I seriously doubt any bigshot investors are going to throw money into this one without being able to see where it's going and what Frank's done with it in the past. Let's face it, Triangle Multimedia's history is shady to say the least. But with a few minor steps towards legitimizing the operation, I think huge things are possible. Having a signal on the air is great, but it'll take a lot more than that in order to allow you to retire early.
Now for those of you who are about to respond with your 'basher!' nonsense, at least have the decency to point out where I've done so and provide some reasons why my line of thinking is wrong. I'm always up for hearing it.

QTV could get airtime in 50 major cities, but it won't mean anything until they get subscribers. No subscribers = no advertisers = no revenue = no huge gains = no early retirement = no Vegas party, etc.
I recommend a change in the team cheer. "All we have to do is get subscribers"... Getting a signal on the air is pretty simple. Convincing people that your signal is worth paying for is a whole different story...

I agree with you Robin O, QBID will not make a big move until subscribers appear and adverstiers start coming in.
This stock needs alot institutional investors to get on board so they can start buying huge blocks to move the price up, but this WILL NOT happen UNTIL Q Television Network is showing signs that it will be successful and profitable. Look at the price now; QTV is just about to launch and the price is lower than it was when they had no product at all and just an idea. Hype moved QBID up in the first place, now reality has set in and people are not certain that this will be a hit. Uncertainty kills a stock.
Well, thats where the gamble part kicks in, if it is a hit and they start getting subs, then the combination of certainty, massive hype and revenues should move the price extremely high. And you know what happens if QTV is not a hit, so I dont have to mention that.
Like I said before in my other post, which was erased, (although the post calling me a bum is still up which I think is unfair, lol), you just have to sit and wait to see if they start pulling people in.

Waiting for the Sec filings will hopefully be soon. I suspect the release of the audit numbers and buyback results if positive could be good for a pop.

they dont need to be convinced to buy it they have been waiting for this for a long time and they will buy it just to support thier cause. half a trillion dollars. we dont even have to have half of one percent of thier disposible income to make a go of this, how can we fail!
impossible at this point in my eyes.
and i threw out the rose coloured glasses a long time ago. your going to deny the progress all the way to a buck arent you!
that is fine, we are goign to make our money off this too.

Obviously you never read any of my earlier posts on previous threads. Always maintained that launch was what would open the door to all our opportunities.
Genuine Broadcasting National TV Networks do not trade for less than one dollar a share.
With a HALF TRILLION DOLLAR target who needs a bullseye.

robinO...you stated getting subscribers was the hard part, about 3 moonths ago a series of articles and a couple of lists were posted stating that very, very few of the start-up networks ever see the light of a TV screen. the hard part is getting on the air to get subscribers. i think you got that comment backwards.

Bill!
RobinO doesn't want to hear that. It was as right as he will ever be. All the hardest work occurs before a network ever gets a chance to broadcast. They have to prove a market before any carrier will even consider them seriously let alone put them on the air.
That's why I made a mantra of that one simple point,,,
