qtn is an invitation premium channel. Logo pushed back 5 months from initial launch date. I wish I had the post and message when they cut alot of their staff. Anyone having that would much appreciate it.
Also if logo launches that would bring more awareness to QTN.
This is a non issue imo.

You got a point there. Todays p.r. is all talk. Anyone can say they interviewed those Hollywood celebs but how can they prove it? We are into another month and everyone keeps saying, this will be the month, or it's going to break out. Hog wash. I guess they are right about what they said about Frank Olson and Renee dupree or whatever his name is.

Are you saying you will bash the bashers with a white hammer...???? Cool...
Kind of like the old Arm and Hammer commercials...20 Mule Team Borax...Really dating myself here...Those were old black and white commercials where the guy would swing a white hammer then be super imposed on the front of the box...I bet no one here is old enough to remember that?

That's what I'm thinking too. People seem to think that when logo launches, QTN will see its last days. Like Suz said, did Sirius fail because XM was the first to launch? No! If Logo is the first to launch a successful gay network, I won't be worried, because QTN will just follow in its footsteps.

i dont know, as far as satelite goes, here tv is already on direct tv and dish network. if i were them and had to choose between qtv and logo. id have to go with viacom. i just dont think the satelite carriers would have three gay networks. same with a cable carrier, if logo signs a big cable carrier, i doubt they would also have qtv also. so, logo is a concern for me. qtv is slowing loseing to the competition. and the sad thing about it, qtv has been around alot longer than here tv and logo.

If there was any confidence from any big investment companies why aren't they snatching this one up. There is no confidence. Come on. Under a penny and still doesn't budge. The big boys would be playing this one if it was going to fly. Don't you think?

Our system posted a HOLD today. The previous BUY recommendation that was confirmed was made on 02.25.2005 (4) days ago, when the stock price was 0.0029. Since then QBID has gained 6.90% .
Have you bought this stock when the recent BUY signal was confirmed? If so, it is great. Just relax and wait.
What will you do now? Well, the HOLD tag says all that is to say. Keep on holding your stocks and do not bother yourself with any further buying or selling as long as the HOLD tag stays.

if i found out for sure what logo may be doing, i would be alot more comfortable. viacom's ceo stated he thought a network targeting this market would be worth one billion dollars. last i heard the guy was worth $13 billion dollars. if the guy that owns viacom is worth that kind of money, i cant imagine what his company is worth. so, i doubt hes going to let this opportunity pass by. he knows the potential. personally, im hopeing viacom just buys qtv out. frank olsen has had years to get this deal done so, far qtv is only available in 3 cities. if it took years to get three cities. at this pace, we are not getting anywhere.

suzainiee, My pleasure. I thought it pertinent to this thread. Also, with the diverse, unique programming being offered/created by QBID, it COULD give them an edge....JMHO, but, I THINK their approach is going to make them stand out, AND, by the syndication announcement, allow for other Gay/Lesbian networks to air QBID's proprietary programming....we'll see...GLTA....

I've been looking at the here!tv website and it looks like they are taking the number 1 spot. They are already bosting nationwide coverage by directv as well as dish network and several other cable carriers. I've been holding Q long but I know I'm starting to worry whether we even have any carriers. If we wait much longer logo is going to come into the picture and this thing I beleive will fall hard

syndicating broadcast programming, if it's good programming, at a given targeted audience, is priceless. It's a major factor in long term revenue generation. Food for thought......

Yeah, I'm not a stock expert by any means but I don't think this is something technical analysis is going to be able to predict.
It basically comes down to... can the CEO get the carriers, or not. What is the hold up with getting carriers? Does this typically take a long time? When has the CEO said he will get carriers by, if he has?
I've been lurking this one for a long time, and I've read CEO credibility this, accumulation that, basher this, etc... I think its really all in vain. *IF* QTV can get its signal out to as many possible customers as possible, the stock will 'run'. I'll have my finger on the trigger for when this happens I suppose...

As a further note, I worked for a company a few years ago, re-broadcasting Direct TV and Dish sat signals, as well as C-Band signals, via a proprietary multicast network, (IP), internationally. A fee has to be paid for re-broadcasting ANYONES broadcasting feeds.....the fees vary, depending on the broadcasters fee schedule....is anyone getting this picture? Good programming costs money, and CAN produce significant revenue streams, dependent upon it's quility....more food for thought....and GLTA....

actually there are plenty of facts in that post. it is fact, here tv is available on direct tv and dish network. and also the mention of logo coming soon is true also. logo plans to launch june 30th. and its very obvious and true qtv hasent made alot of progress so far this year, as far as carriers go. so, you put all these facts together, in most people opinions, qtv is in trouble. things are cleary not looking that great at this moment. its very discourageing to see all these other networks come in and make so much progress in such little time, while qtv can only be seen in 3 cities and has been around several years. either qtv is holding back on the announcement of carriers waiting for the right time or maybe they have none.

roadrunner - does anyone have DD on how long it typically takes to set this kind of thing up? If its legit that it can take this long to get carriers, then its OK. Would their be a motivation to hold back announcing carriers? Like the company buying back stock cheap before it runs?

the main thing there are airing right now but, there only availble in three cities currently. so, being on the air, it really doesnt matter till when people will be able to actually view qtv. there not avaiable in probably 99% of the country. i mean what good is it doing if people cant watch it. ive been wondering if there buying back shares also for the past two months also. they do have a few sponsors, that makes me think that they do have something but, are waiting for the right time to announce it but, i just dont see why they are being so slow about annoucing it.

Yes, there is a very good example out there. Its called Here!. They also took a long time to get carriers. They too only had RCN for the first year and a half on air. They only got on Direct TV a couple monts ago after 2 years of trying. This is very common. It takes a lot of investment on the carriers to add a new channel. The only new channels to get on quick is those backed by major networks. The reason for this is because they want to know that you are not going to fail as soon as they air you. Especially premium channel that has subscribers. That would mean that there customers are hurt if you leave and do you think that the customer will blame the network. No, they usually blame the carrier for the lose of the network. Also, the expense by the carrier to add another channel is costly in equipment. Its just not good business to take on everybody. They want to know you will be around and that people want to watch you.

QTV has made significant progress this year. No we don't have carrier news. Everyone forgets about all the other great news that comes out. One thing that really sticks out in my mind is something Jackie Enyx put in her online journal. QTV is doing something no one else is doing; two and a half hours of live programming every weekday. Morning shows are only for an hour or so, news shows are only 30 minutes long, late shows are prerecorded, etc etc. QTV is taking on a huge task. Then consider the other people that QTV is surrounding themselves with and they've come a long way.
QTV is not in trouble. How many sports channels are there? Even if LOGO and Here! enter the market there is still room for Q. You all also think LOGO is the biggest threat. Remember when they were supposed to launch in February? Now they're pushed back to June. Does that remind anyone of any other gay television network? (QTV) Regardless of the billions of dollars Viacom has they still have their own problems to deal with. QTV is not in trouble. What progress has LOGO made? Here! may have the carriers but do we hear much from them? Look at PT's earlier post about Q at the oscars. http://namct.com/news/index.php?p=2277&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 The one line that hits me is about Q being the ONLY gay network there. Take a look and read it yourself.
We don't have carriers yet. So what? That doesn't make their quality any less. Ford has the power to produce hundreds of thousands of cheap cars a year, but it doesn't make them great cars. What matters is the time spent building the product to make sure everything works correctly and that it isn't terrible programming. Does Here! have live tv or the intentions on a live morning show? Did they get any movie deals from the Sundance film festival? I haven't heard anything from here!. Matt
