Since the change to digital there are no standards. Some cable companies haven't even updated to digital yet. Try to buy a High Definition TV today. It has to support 3 formats just to receive your local broadcasters.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to read this news article and know that this is good news. Progress is being made one negotiation at a time.
So this has me wondering about Frank and why Q didn't put this news out...I'm thinking that he might combine this news with other news in a press release to show how QTN is accomplishing its goals. Just would LOVE to know WHEN we'll hear from Frankie...He can just whisper in my ear and tell me ALL the good stuff and I won't tell a soul...okay, I'd only tell you guys.

Tracy Baim, Co-vice chair of Chicago Games Inc.’s board, says the dealis for a seven-figure cash consideration. It also includes an agreement to air shows promoting the games through their July 2006 launch.
Ms. Baim says Q Television will broadcast the games to at least 150 U.S markets, and possibly overseas. The 2002 games, held in Sydney, Australia, were not broadcast outside of the Sydney metropolitan area.
...sounds like the q's got some money, ad spots promoting, 150 markets ??? overseas???
...q sure is gettin' round, huh
...maybe frank's keeping things on the "q-t"
...good vibes sunny.........

Gay Games VII and Q Television Network make a deal
The Chicago-based organizers of Gay Games VII announced Thursday that they have signed a letter of intent to provide television and radio broadcast rights for the event to the California-based Q Television Network. The broad terms of the cash-and-barter deal include broadcast rights, joint development of Gay Games-related programming, broadcast airtime for advance Gay Games advertising, and live and taped coverage of Gay Games VII events. (Gay Games VII is scheduled to take place July 15-22, 2006.) Subscriber-based Q Television would unscramble its signal during live Gay Games coverage, giving basic-cable viewers an opportunity to view the programs. "It has been my dream to get television created specifically for the LGBT audience on the air," said Frank Olsen, Q Television president and CEO, in a statement. "With the Gay Games as our landmark network event, we will begin immediately to present the stories of the men and women worldwide that participate in the Games, and build anticipation and excitement until the opening ceremonies."

Well, there goes another statement! QTN's signal is not scrambled, it is in the clear! -- Pardon me ms gulfcoast but the most recent pr re:Chicago 2006 Gay Games was not put out by QTN. In addition the term unscrambled may be easier for the public to grasp than a detailed explaination of how QTN is usually a premium channel but during the Gay Games they will make the signal available to all. Been lurking and appreciate the insight you seem to have regarding Q Television Network.

A new report finds the U.S. gay and lesbian consumer market is both diverse and economically significant, prompting a growing interest from the corporate world.
The fourth edition of "The U.S. Gay and Lesbian Market" report was released this week by the market research firm Packaged Facts and the LGBT-focused marketing firm Witeck-Combs Communications.
According to the report, buying power of the U.S. gay and lesbian population is projected to reach $610 billion in 2005.
Chance Mitchell, from the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, called the report's buying power projections "right on," and said companies are showing "an overwhelming interest."
"I think the (LGBT) consumer is going to start thinking about companies that are buying back from our community, not just marketing to our community," he said. Mitchell told the PlanetOut Network that IBM, Wells Fargo, Motorola, Intel, JPMorganChase, Cendant and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts are some of the companies that are taking steps to purchase goods and services from LGBT-owned businesses.
The report also revealed a high degree of diversity within the gay and lesbian population -- including singles, families, seniors and people of color.
At least 2 million gays are approaching or have already reached retirement age, according to the report. By 2020, some 5.7 million, or 25 percent of the gay community, will be 50 or older.
The report also estimates that there are 1.8 million gay and lesbian households with children, and there are approximately 2.6 million children living with gay parents.
The report examines Census data on same-sex households as well as research on single gay men and lesbians to conclude that race and ethnicity among the LGBT population appears to mirror the general U.S. population.
The complexity of the gay and lesbian population reveals that "day care and taxes and retirement accounts occupy as much a priority role as travel, fashion and home decor once did," according to Don Montuori, an editor for Packaged Facts.
"Gay households should never be over-simplified," said Bob Witeck, CEO of Witeck-Combs Communications. "Growing trends of acceptance and respect throughout society make it possible -- even essential -- for more gays and lesbians to safely self-identify and to vote not only with their ballots but also with their dollars in the market."
"The U.S. Gay and Lesbian Market" provides updated analysis of the demographic profiles, consumer behaviors, and purchasing power of the estimated 15 million adult gay men and lesbians in the United States
