Q Television Network's, (Pink Sheets: QBID) President and CEO, Frank Olsen and Bill Craig, CEO of Canadian OUTtv D.B.A. PrideVision announced today that they have signed a Letter of Intent to explore opportunities by which the two companies may take advantage of joint programming initiatives and a potential equity investment in the Canadian Television service.
The Parties have identified a number of areas of interest, including the telecast of Canadian produced live and acquired programming in the U. S. as well as branding and marketing opportunities for the respective television services.
Mr. Craig, said, "A relationship with Q Television Network could provide OUTtv with the opportunity to share gay programming throughout the world."
"I feel this is the first step in a long relationship between the two networks," said Olsen. "We have a great interest in working with OUTtv and moving Q Television forward with this venture. This also shows how committed Q Television and its executives are at making GLBT televisions succeed for the queer communities."
Q Television is interested in OUTtv purely for its family/life programming and the company and its executives have no interest in the networks' pornographic shows.
And on March 19th, who said that we would see a deal withing 7-10 days
GO QBID!!!!! Bring On The Green

By the letter of intent it appears that they are structuring a joint venture rather than a merger or offer to buy Pride. You have to keep in mind that Pride has porno and it would not fit into Q's business model. SO it would not make since for Q to buy Pride but rather use each other.

You're right, customers usually follow what you say like sheep, only there aren't enough here to make the company any money

By: illuminati2012 28 Mar 2005, 01:22 AM EST Msg. 96968 of 96969 Jump to msg. # After the show Frank came and sat down with my wife and I for about 20 minutes and we had an incredible conversation. Some items I cannot post as he told me if he saw it he would kill me, big stuff, I kid you not. Big. I can say he leaves Tuesday to Toronto to sign the PV deal. 86% aquisition of the part to remain non porn. I do not want to seem dramatic or silly, but if anyone is out of the stock currently and waiting to get in or back in, do not wait too long. There are things happening soon with QTN that will bring attention to it and we will all be pleased. One of which is really tremendous, not a carrier, but the result of it will be massive, this item is a bit more in the future, but will occur this year. I'm going to see Frank at his office tomorrow for a bit more, the set was shutting down fast and we all had to clear out. Frank was clear on what could not be broadcast and I will not be adding shares to my position and certainly not selling any. QBID IS going up soon, I recommend if your in, hold em tight, it's E ticket ride, it's gonna be fun.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm......

This has an agreement between the two parties about the responsibility of each. It lays out who does what. This is wonderful for Q and is the preliminary discussion prior to an agreement or contract.
It is a very standard vehicle used in negotiations. There are expenses in this type of understanding and the letter usually lays those expenses out also.
I'm sure the naysayers will be knocking this. Let them and don't react. This is very simple and direct and from this will come an understanding of the future of both companies. Good stuff...
Its the beginning of a Sweet Relationship with Pridevision. Bring on the bashers

its not that big. it is a letter of intent. to share programming at this point.
if it was announced as a letter of intent to aquire, then it would be much bigger.
the problem is they stated they are going to bid to purchase now its only a deal to share programming. when you compare the two statements there seems to be a large difference
now with all that said it has been stated that it is a letter of intent. it could turn into a merger or aquisition.
so when the details come out that is when this will get big.

I agree...show how Frank keeps releasing PR's too soon. They should of never release the PR about the BID to buy. He releases PRs and then does not come through fully on them. This just always will come across bad and that is how the market reads Q PRs now. You can not believe them all the way. He release too much too often. He should hold them and wait until there is real substance and worth. The market is showing the faith in the PR today...Like it says it is only a letter of intent. I have had many letter of intent over the years to do buy out, mergers and such with my company. But after all DD is done they fade away. Just as this one could. I would never release a PR about a LOI like this. This should still be in the confidentail stage while the details are finalized if they are ever finalized.

I remember on the phone conference last year Frank said how he got burned in the past releasing a PR too soon about a cable deal and it ruined the deal. He said he would never do this again....But he has continued to do this time and time again.

Now you do not know this for fact.. They are only working out the details of a LOI...there is no signed aggrement for Pride to broadcast any Q productions at this point.

hmm.. i think a pr about LOI is the norm, especially if the company feels that the deal is solid enough to report to investors. anyways, here are some past LOI PRs by bigger companies... some are acquisitions, others are just deals..
first bashers were out here calling frank a liar for even claiming to be negotiating with pv. now that there is a legit pr about pv and qbid's negotiation, they will trounce on something else. neverending.
imo, things are falling into place nicely for this company.
