true and the majority of the ones that vote on something are the very strongly opposed. Quite often you dont get true results from a poll.
many people that would like to see it will never vote. but anyone that is strongly opposed will definately make a point in voting.
the fact of the matter is that most people will not want anything to do with it but are not opposed to anyone having this channel.

quote:Originally posted by andrewAAB: The PrideTV deal was said to be final after 4/02/05.(our source) Today Frank was supposed to fly to sign the contracts. So don't expect to hear anything about the Pride deal until Monday. IMO The deal is real and will be made.
Illuminati was the person passing this on and he did not say who said it and he said "around" April 2nd. Hell in the world of Q around could be July 2nd.
Still speculation and heresay at best but I would suspect that one way or another we would hear something between April 4th and 8th. Of course thats only a guess on my part based on various rumors and the April 7th launch date of Prides second channel.
I have to say that I trust what Illuminati has said the last week or so for a number of reasons. However, growing up in and around the professional golf touring industry - I used to help run, organize and coordinate those things in a former life - I am very much aware of what sort of rumor mill those things end up being. Also, the amount of alcohol involved is tremendous lol AND while I trust most of what Illuminati has passed on I DO NOT know and therefore do not trust his information.
I am sure what he has said he was told he was really told, but that does not make it true.
Its a shame he passed on what he believes is valid info and many people (not pointing at you or anyone in particular here) have turned it into a death march deadline.
I can assure you the bashers have April 2nd on the calendar as the date to start the "Franks a liar, he cant make a date, Q is in the toilet, get out while you can, FIRE! FIRE!" if there is not an official PR outlining the deal on that day. We gave them the fuel and they will start the fire - and all based on a speculative date past on at a party...

i just want people to understand that these speculations are understood as just that.
I hate it when people start stating things as fact only to have millions of shares dumped because they didnt see something happen by an unofficial date.
people have a tendnecy to expect these stories to be gospel and when they dont happen then they freak out and start bashing.
If its not in pr then we should not spread rumours as fact.
thats all nothing more nothing less.
i want all that info to be true as well but talking about it like it is fact only hurts us in the long run.
I feel that there is a good chance that this deal will go through, but untill it is in a pr, im not holding my breath.

i have no problem with people bringing messages in here that state Frank said this and Frank said that. as long as we stick to the fact that it is hearsay and not gospel.
there have been many posters in the past that called a couple of events and all of a sudden they where considered reputable and then they made predictions that didn't happen and boom sudden mayhem.
i only brought up the post from the investor board as is was posted hours after that message appeared on IHUB. that was not a coincidence. that to me was a very pointed message that there is some untrue information floating around.
Frank can not be telling that kind of information to people whether it is true or not. so to take it to seriously, could be disastrous.
the simple fact that this info was posted, could have Frank in trouble for distributing insider information. If what he says is true, Frank may have to delay things to make it look inaccurate.
If he did have loose lips on this, then he has not learned his lesson of how bad things can get if the wrong info gets out.
I know this sound a bit paranoid, but it is not, i'm just keeping an open mind to everything, and not looking at anything through rose coloured glasses.

I meant nothing by my post... I was just filling in a question asked. I was not making a statement or promise. Just trying to keep everyone up to date and questions answered. I would hope anyone with infomation (rumor or dd) would post it. I believe that is what these boards are for. To express your thoughts or findings may they be true or false. Why else would you have these boards? If all you could talk about was pr's and company released statements; these boards wouldn't be here.
IMO Lets hear it all! At the end of the day its your choice what you do.....

i have stated that i have no problem with repeating messages, as long as the are brought forward as rumour or speculation.
it too often happens that a rumour repeated often enough is very quickly construed as fact.
nothing more nothing less.
i read your message and the way it read sounded like it was coming forward as factual.
the clearer we keep the info the better the actual info becomes. I want to hear facts as facts, but rumours as rumours. I want to hear them all but i want to know the source.
sorry if you think I'm hammering on this to hard, I just want to keep the info presented as it actually is.

I hear you on the Illuminati posts. Maybe I shouldn't have brougth them here because we all know it's hear-say until a PR says deals are signed. However I couldn't help but think that it was information that pertains to our stock & I felt that I trust most to see it for what it is, "exciting possibilities" of a nature that may be of interest. If it's really that disturbing & most don't want it I will refrain from bringing messages like this to the board in the future.
In addition, I will often speculate about possibilities & future events & even call it that, speculation. There isn't anything else I can write about unless news hits. Anyway my point is that I'm not trying to harm this stock. And with PKs you're always going to have alot of speculation because they do not have to file & we can only guess what's going on. These puppies will move radically up & down anyway.
Regardless what it does near term I'm holding. Cause amid the rumors & speculation there is one little fact,,,
posted
you are not harming anything Whiz you brought them here and stated that they where from a poster on the IHUB board. nothing wrong with that.
keep it up. you have always stated that this is my opinion.
you are good man you bring in all the messages you want.
i like to read them i just like to make sure that it is not perceived as fact.
i hope to god that all that stuff about the trip to Toronto is true and we get this news next week
but i have to keep reminding myself of the post on the investor relations board. they are there for a reason.
they have stated on several occasions that anyone stating that they have inside information of news that has not been released is not to be trusted, as this is not the way they want information out.
but please keep bringing anything interesting in here.
i may have come across the wrong way in my typing. I'm not a great typist so my thoughts don't get conveyed to type as well as i would like.
i think way faster then in type and i also loose my thoughts much faster then i type as well. lol
as far as my spelling, it has been pointed out how bad that is. but I'm more intent on getting my thought across then i am on my spelling or grammar. I'm not in high school anymore, and don't place as much thought on sentence structure anymore.
again I apologize if i seem like I'm coming on too strong here. I just want to keep the right information in the right file so to speak.

Nah, whizknock you did the right thing bringing those posts here and passing on what was heard and said. You are right, we all have to be the judge. This board is much much better than most of the others out there and they are typically where my frustration comes from the rumors turned into facts, not here.
Its good to get all the info you can and we all know that its easier to believe a lie when its wrapped in some truth. We just have to individually determine what we fell that truth is in each tidbit. Hell, you have to do that with PRs that most companies put out. I forget who but someone (maybe WebMD) had a stellar 4th Q 2004 growth increase based on their official PRs but when you dug down deep there was little to no real growth it was all income that acquisitions had generated which was less than those same companies had generated in previous quarters and years and of course didnt offset the cost of acquisition hence it was a loosing quarter in both their own sales growth and the growth of the companies acquired but was spun quite the opposite. I have seen this a few times in recent past and stocks soar until a week later when people do the math and realize there was losses all the way around... you cant believe anything these days, even if Frank or Michael Dell/Richard Parsons/Bill Gates/whoever tells you face to face.
Qs gonna fly, its just a matter of time. I honestly believe that Frank couldnt totally blow this even if he tried. They have original programming in a niche market with 2-3 possibly major players coming out needing some of that programming in the next year? Thats a win win even if its to buy Q out or pay for the syndication/airing of them. Thats why I am here and thats why I am gonna be smiling all the way to the beach.

Yes. It was nice because we got mentioned and they didn't make a big deal that we're not as widely distributed as Here!. They stated we're not as widely distributed AS Here!. It seemed to make us as equal a player in the market as Here! and LOGO. Then the questions weren't targeted specifically towards Here! even though they had a representative there. I can't imagine how much better Frank would have done if he were there.
It wasn't a huge deal except for the fact that gay television is going to be the next big thing. I don't see other television news segments about other niche networks trying to get carriage. We'll soon be big. Matt
