COMMERCIAL Closet, a Web site that promotes better representation of gays in advertising, got a boost from an unexpected source: the right-wing American Family Association. After the AFA alerted members to a Downy ad featuring two gay men in bed together, Commercial Closet was swarmed with AFA members trying to find it, nearly downing its server. "We ended up getting one and a half million hits per hour," says Commercial Closet director Michael Wilke, who noted that the Downy ad is four years old and ran only in Canada. "It's ironic that it worked out this way, but we've actually benefited from all this exposure. A lot of people have been introduced to us for the first time." http://www.nypost.com/gossip/29655.htm

FRANK OLSEN SAYS WE WILL BE PROFITABLE IN 12-13 MONTHS
PER FRANK OLSEN:
Q-TELEVISION WILL SPEND $370,000 PER MONTH FOR OUTSIDE PROGRAMMING. $200,000 ON PRODUCTION. REDUCED MONTHLY EXPENSE TO $33,000 PER MONTH.
SINCE 2000 QBID HAS DONE NOTTA AND FOR THE CACULATION HEREIN, I'LL LEAVE IT AT THE REDUCED RATE OF $33,000 PER MONTH.
$370,000 + $200,000 = $570,000/MONTH. NOW ADD $33,000 IS $603,000 PER MONTH.
$33,000 PER MONTH SINCE 2000 IS 48 MONTHS TOTAL $1,584,000 TO DATE.
$603,000 TIMES 12 MONTHS IS $7,236,000.
150,000 SUBS AT $7.95/MONTH IS $14,310,000.
RCN GETS 30% TO 50% INDUSTRY AVERAGE FOR THE SIGNAL AND I'LL LOWBALL IT AT 30%. $14,310,000 TIMES 30% IS $4,293,000 LEAVING $10,017,000.
$10,017,000 MINUS OPERATING EXPENSES ($7,236,000) EQUALS $2,781,000.
$2,781,000 NET PROFIT.
FRANK TELLS US HE HAS SECURED FINANCING TO GUARANTEE 5-YEARS BROADCAST. FOLLOWED UP BY HE HAS HEDGE FUNDS GIVING HIM A "LOAN" OF $2 MILLION DOLLARS TO SECURE THE FIRST YEAR OF BROADCAST.
WELL WAIT. HOW DOES $2 MILLION DOLLARS SECURE THE FIRST YEAR BROADCAST WHEN BY FRANKS OWN NUMBERS, THE COST IS:
$370,000 + $200,000 = $570,000/MONTH. NOW ADD $33,000 IS $603,000 PER MONTH IS $603,000 TIMES 12 MONTHS IS $7,236,000. BUT WAIT FRANK, HOW DID YOU SECURE THE FIRST YEAR BROADCAST ($2-MILLION) WHEN YOUR OPERATING EXPENSES ARE $7,236,000 (SEVEN MILLION).
SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RUN YOUR STATION ON $2 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE FIRST YEAR. LET ALONE YOUR 5-YEAR BROADCAST.
SO FOR THE SAKE OF MATH.
IF 2 YEARS OF FINANCING TO SECURE 1-YEAR OF BROADCAST IS $2 MILLION DOLLARS. YOU TOLD US YOU SECURED 5-YEARS OF BROADCAST SO WE HAVE TO ASSUME THAT 5-YEARS TIMES $2-MILLION PER YEAR IS $10,000,000. NOW WE HAVE 5-YEARS AND THEN YOU ANNOUNCES YOU HAVE 1-YEAR FINANCING BROADCAST SECURED SO THAT TOTALS 6-YEARS AT $12,000,000 (TWELVE-MILLION DOLLARS).
SO $12,000,000 IN LOANS WITH BUSINESS LOANS GENERAL FOR 10-YEAR PERIOD MEANS YOU HAVE A MONTHLY PAYMENT OF $145,593.11 AT 8% OR $1,747,117.32 PER YEAR. NOW ADD THAT TO YOUR MONTHLY OPERATING EXPENSES WHICH IS $603,000 PER MONTH GIVING US A TRUE OPERATING EXPENSE OF $748,000 OR $8,983,116 PER YEAR BRINGING OUR NET INCOME TO:
THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE $33,000 PER MONTH OR $1,584,000 IN FUNDS THAT HAVE MAKE FRANKS OFFICE RENT PAYMENT, ELECTRIC, FED HIM AND HIS STAFF FOR THE PAST 4-YEARS. WHERE DID $1,584,000 COME FROM WHEN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO INCOME FOR QBID FOR THE PAST 4-YEARS AND TO DATE THERE IS NOT A SINGLE SOURCE OF INCOME.
SO ON THIS $1-MILLION DOLLAR PLUS IN NET INCOME, FRANK TELLS US THAT INDUSTRY INSIDERS CLAIM QBID TO BE WORTH $1-BILLION DOLLARS.
FURTHER, RCN HAS AT BEST 400,000 SUBSCRIBERS. IF 3% OF THE POPULATION IS GAY, HOW MANY OF THEM WILL ORDER A GAY STATION? SO LET'S SAY 1% OF THE 3% ORDERS GAY TV. THAT IS A TOTAL OF:
DUM DA DUM.... DRUM ROLL........
4,000 SUBSCRIBERS.
I WAS ON THE GOLF COURSE WHEN A FROG SAID "RIBBIT 9-IRON". I PULLED THE 9-IRON AND THE BALL WENT RIGHT IN.
THE NEXT HOLE, A FROG SAID "RIBBIT 7-IRON". I PULLED THE 7-IRON AND THE BALL WENT RIGHT IN.
I PICKED UP THIS FROG AND ASKED HIM IF HE WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO ME "RIBBIT, YES I AM" HE SAID.
AT THE END OF THE 18TH, HE SAID TO ME "RIBBIT, TAKE ME TO THE BAR" SO I TOOK HIM TO THE BAR WITH ME.
AT THE BAR HE SAID "RIBBIT, I WANT A SCOTCH AND SODA" SO I ORDERED HIM A SCOTCH AND SODA.
HE THEN TOLD ME "RIBBIT, TAKE ME TO YOUR PLACE" AND I WENT HOME WITH HIM.
HE THEN SAID "RIBBIT, KISS ME AND I'LL TURN INTO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN" AND I KISSED HIM AND HE TURNED INTO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
AND THAT YOUR HONOR IS HOW THE 14-YEAR OLD ENDED UP IN MY HOTEL ROOM.

FRANK DOES A "SOFT" LAUNCH ON COX CABLE. LASTED 12+ OR SO HOURS FOR A SINGLE DAY.
FRANK TELLS US THAT BROUGHT ABOUT 50,000 INQUIRIES (WHICH IS A LIE).
FRANK TELLS US THAT BROUGHT ABOUT 100,000 #800-HOTLINE HITS (WHICH IS A LIE).
BUT YET, RCN CABLE WHICH IS BANKRUPT AND HAS 400,000 SUBSCRIBERS WILL PROVIDE US WITH 3% OF THE POPULATION THAT IS GAY AND 1% OF THAT 3% WILL ORDER QBID LEAVING US WITH A GRAND TOTAL OF....
4,000 SUBSCRIBERS.
SO INSTEAD OF GOING WITH THE 150,000 INQUIRIES THAT COX CABLE PROVIDED US WITH A 12-HOUR UNANNOUNCED BROADCAST THAT DISAPPEARED AS QUICKLY AS IT APPEARED, LET'S MOVE OVER TO RCN WHICH IS BANKRUPT.

NEWS Just out LOOK Our Q-Channel has a NEW Show called THE AGENDA $ O.K. GUYS & GIRLS LOOK AT OUR NEW Q-CHANNEL SHOW CALLED THE AGENDA
From The Producers Desk News And Things:
October 2, 2004
It has become a very exciting time for GLBT entertainment with the launch of The Q Television Network, and eventually some other networks.
GLBT programming and the GLBT market is no longer a novelty item, or something to just wonder about. Major advertisers are sponsoring our events, magazines and soon, our television programs.
As we go forward with THE AGENDA! airing on The Q Television Network we are moving towards our goal of bringing and sharing information not only within the GLBT community, but with people everywhere. No matter what community they belong to.
GLBT sports, and stories about the people who participate will begin to be told. From the quiet life in a country town, to the propaganda machines of those who oppose us, we will follow people and stories that relate to and are about us.
As 2004 progresses and passes into 2005, we will be using many of the stories, segments and show ideas that have been sent to us.
With that in mind we would like to thank each of you who have been sending us ideas and suggestions for THE AGENDA!
If you have an idea for a segment or a show we would love to hear from you!
So don't forget, if you see us about town shooting, come over and say hi! Or if you have an idea for a segment or even an entire show, we would love to hear from you!

Interesting article in the Oct. 5, 2004 Portland Phoenix, especially the following: "...Triangle Television Network (TTN), a sort of lavender-lined MGM, located in the Coachella Valley. In association with Time Warner Cable, TTN plans to produce an ambitious array of original programming aimed at gay and lesbian viewers."
Just can't get past that FIVE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLAR targeted,,,,,,,
What? SIX HUNDRED BILLION?
Ok, Ok. I just can't get around that $600,000,000,000.oo of disposable income of our targeted audience.
Niether can The CEOs of many a Fortune 500 Companies that are drooling over the prospect of developing an intensely loyal consummer base that weilds that kind financial clout! My bet is they've already shot the commercials.
No matter how I do the math one percent of SIX HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS keeps coming up as SIX BILLION DOLLARS. One tenth of one percent is SIX HUNDRED MILLION BUCKS!
One tiny azz tenth of one percent,,,,,,
$600,000,000.oo!
That kind of revenue alone would put this over a buck easy.
That's just one reason that it's so difficult to find a Genuine Broadcasting National TV Network that trades for less than $1 a share. That & the fact that none exsist. That's right,,,NONE!!!!
There are no real TV Networks trading under a dollar a share.
Think about this for a minute.
What does the word NETWORK imply?
Am I the only one that sees where this is headed?
Q TV Channel Q TV Movie Channel Q TV Music Channel Q TV News Channel Q TV Comedy Channel Q TV Social History Channel Q TV Movie Channel II Q TV Sports Channel Q TV Movie Channel III R rated
The list goes on,,,
There's only one way I do not see $1 per share. Frank sells the whole thing & they take it private.

What do you say to those that say QTN is privately owned by Frank and it is being subsidised by investors of QBID who will never see a return on their money? In other words, we own QBID and have no ties to QTN. Obviously I read this on a another BB.

Hello,
I was interested in knowing if you are planning to carry Q Telelvision. I subscribe to Time Warner, but Q Telelvision is only being carried by RCN.
RMSG started a huge downtrend in March whereas QBID started end of April. Just now 7 months later did RMSG spike up 100% from .25 to .50. QBID has only been in a downtrend for 5-6 months. We will see that spike very soon.
But if you look at the pattern, its somewhat similar. RMSG went from .40 to $3! QBID went from .0025 to .028

I will say...life is a risk....much more penny stocks. I have seen stocks go from 5 cents to 0.0001 & from 0.0001 to 5 cents & eventually one of these hit the dollars... The beauty of this risk is that you have a chance of making some serious money if you have the patience. QBID has potential...if you believe that you should stay in it....but it if it does not launch then everybody who stay will end up lossing their investment.
