This chat is in every major city in the US and Canada. Planetout list all the gay television programs that are being broadcasted each day, the name the program and where to find it. From Will & Grace to Here TV.
Frank, will have to deal with PlanetOut sooner or later, remember he has the rights to the Gay Games and PlanetOut will need to access internet coverage and televison clips as it has promised to its membership.
Just before the RCN launch in SF I visited the gay.com chat room, and I was amazed to find out that no one in the chat rooms had ever heard of Q Television.I visited the chat room a number of times and finally got banned from posting in the gay chat, because you are not allowed to advertise without the permission of PlanetOut. But before being booted out I did get a few jabs in for Q Television.
The Gay.Com chat rooms are visited by approx 50-75 thousand men a day (according to their stats on membership). Frank, do you not think that this would be a good start. Frank, needs to buy banner space in the Chat rooms and be a constant remninder to the gay community that Q Television is available to them.
We should be advertising in multiple avenues in order to become better known, I agree with Bill we need to do a better job at getting the name out.
GO QBID!!!!!! Bring On The Green
Anyone can be a member at gay.com, its free to sign up and "no" you don't have to be gay. You can get into the chats and drop the "Q"

Stocks greet new year with red ink Investors consolidate 2004 gains, shrug off retreat in oil
By Mark Cotton, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 5:08 PM ET Jan. 3, 2005
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- U.S. stocks ended lower Monday, as a move to lock in some of the gains made over the last year trumped the positive impact of a retreat in oil prices, a firmer dollar and a raised sales outlook from Wal-Mart.
On the first day of trading in 2005, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU: news, chart, profile) ended down 53.58 points at 10,729.43, after climbing as high as 10,867.39 in early trading.
Within the benchmark index, Wal-Mart rose 1 percent on its revised December sales view.
Among the Dow components moving lower, Merck (MRK: news, chart, profile) fell 2.7 percent on a media report that more users than initially thought may have died or had serious side effects from taking its Vioxx anti-arthritis drug. See full story.
Construction equipment maker Caterpillar (CAT: news, chart, profile) shed 2.5 percent after the Commerce Department reported an unexpected decline in construction outlays for November.
The Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPQ: news, chart, profile) was down 23.29 points, at 2,152.15, well off an early high of 2,191.60. A decline in semiconductor stocks ($SOX: news, chart, profile) was weighing heavily on the tech-rich index.
The S&P 500 index ($SPX: news, chart, profile) was down 9.84 points, at 1,202.08.
On Friday, the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 closed out 2004 at levels not seen since 2001. The Dow posted a more modest 3.3 percent gain.

Well, it looks like that rumor I heard the other day from someone on another board was right, just 1 day off. This guy said USA Today will have the Q on it this week. I bought the USA Today this morning and there was no Q, but I wasn't dissapointed because it was a rumor, Q puts out pr when they are ready. So next week buy USA Today and it will feel good to see our Q in it.

Viacom puts gay cable channel on hold Peter Marchese, Gay.com / PlanetOut.com Network published Monday, January 3, 2005 The Showtime and MTV networks' proposed all-gay, 24-hour cable television channel missed its spring launch date, and now the vaunted project's future is in jeopardy. Last November, an internal memo from Showtime and MTV was leaked on the Internet, touting the impending development of the channel, called "Outlet." Viacom, the parent company of both cable networks, confirmed Outlet as a reality with a probable second-quarter 2003 launch.
However, eight months later, Outlet has been placed on hold indefinitely, allegedly due to the poor state of the economy.
After being questioned by the Gay.com/Planetout.com Network, Showtime said in a statement that "due to the current economic climate, the timetable has slowed down for the development of a new network dedicated to programming to the gay and lesbian audience. We will keep the media informed of new developments."
Both the economic climate in the United States and the impact of the war in Iraq have been used as reasons by many media companies for scaling back spending on new ventures.

is outlet & logo the same thing??? i hadn't heard of showtime being involved. as for the war in iraq effecting the launch of a new network???? give me a break, in most area's of the country the economy is doing fine, it always could be better, but with what has happened in the last 5 or 6 yrs most would say its not bad. Q sure seems to be able to get off the ground. i'd lean towards lack of real programming as the problem. if outlet & logo are 1 & the same.
