sony pictures studio tour (formerly M-G-M Studios)
But Columbia is a relative newcomer to the Culver City lot. They spent most of their time at what is now called the Sunset-Gower Studios in Hollywood (until 1972), and spent their latter years in the Valley (sharing with Warner Bros what was then called “Burbank Studios.”) It was only in 1990 that Sony finally purchased this historic Culver City lot. For more than six decades (from 1924 to 1986), this was M-G-M Studios.
sunset-gower studios (formerly Columbia Pictures Studios)
Built in 1921, this 17-acre Hollywood movie studio was originally the historic Columbia Pictures Studios.
Update: In December of 2004, it was announced that the Sunset-Gower studio had been purchased by a private equity firm GI Partners (which manages an investment pension fund) for a price of $110 million. Fortunately, there are no plans to tear down the lot, and as of now, production will continue as usual.

Frank finds a studio that can be purchased for approx $2.6 mil cash.
He doesn't have that amount of cash available, but does have additional A/S shares.
Likewise he wants to move to another exchange, so he doesn't want a DISCLOSED bloated share count.
So he announces buyback, and completes it. Thus looking better for audit purposes.
He hires an outside accounting firm. They are auditing past sales and confirm the books as of a specific date-a date in the (recent) past.
He is then free to sell shares, even while audit is ongoing.
Frank has cash to buy studio on 8/12, auditors finish their report in mid-Aug, with a share count as-at date.
Frank has win-win for carriers. Announcement of studio and positive audit results cause pps to rise substantially so shareholders recover in the end.

seeing as Burbank is about 5 miles from Glendale...
and Q entered into a partnership with ValCom, the parent company that owns all those Glendale and LV studios...
and ValCom was selling them when they restructured Valencia Ent...
don't you think it's a good bet that since Q purchased Valcom's programming they then also purchased one of their studios?

For sure, remember that Frank did indicate in a past PR that he would be using the equiptment money for the buyback. This now makes sense if in fact he had his eyes set on the studio purchase.

I actually think that I personally have been too hard on G-vest. He actually makes very well though-out points. I suppose it is the fact that he "accuses" rather than "considers" that had me so riled.
I still think there is a line between actually "accusing" someone of doing something as opposed to presenting evidence and indications without making that firm of a conclusion, but I honestly have to admit that G seems knowledgeable and insightful. He certainly is better-read than the typical "basher," and I for one think it is the conclusions he makes rather than the data he presents that gets everybody (including me) so worked up.
So, I for one will in future listen to what he has to say and continue to make up my own mind, but I am not going to be nasty to anyone anymore unless they are nasty with me first, or unless they just plain "bash" without any kind of backup or thought process whatsoever.
My thought for the day and weekend is..... "can't we all just get along?"
That said -- hey DID say he gets kind of a chuckle out of the funnies thrown at him, so have at it if you'd like -- I am only speaking for myself here....
from now on, I am back to making funnies when I think of them, adding what I can when I can, and arguing points on their merits alone when I think I have enough to say.
Confession over -- and I hope my tentative inviation to the party in Vegas is not in the shredder, because I would really like to go

An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people.
Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment, the relative anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish.

I do accuse Frank of diluting. Maybe he's buying back now, I don't know. I do find it interesting that this last run went NEARLY back to the same level as the last run. That almost makes me wonder if maybe Frank is done diluting now that he has that studio. I can't, for the life of me, figure out what he'd need to dilute for if their expenses are really cut by 70%.
Think about it, if expenses were a million and they were bringing in 400,000 in revenues, that's a loss of 600,000 that shareholders would have to make up. If it gets reduced by 70%, that means we might actually be seeing a profit in the near future. I'm still skeptical, but I *do* own shares, so I think it's a healthy skepticism.
Again though, it bothers me that Frank got rid of his %53 of the OS, because that tells me that there could be more dilution. I'd like to hear a definitive on why he did that.

OK here is a detailed explanation of what i feel this deal means.
im going to fill you in on some history.
29 April 2005: Q Television Network announces Buyback of Company Stock. Q Television Network announced today that with proceeds specifically allocated for production equipment, the company will immediately begin to aggressively buyback QBID stock... http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/050429/295319.html?.v=1
Why are they spending this money? money that they had earmarked for equipment?
Because they no longer need to buy that equipment. because of this deal because 21 days later they announced this:
20 May 2005: Q Television Network Sets Sight on Hollywood. Q Television Network announced today that they are in negotiations to purchase a production studio in the greater Los Angeles area. The studio currently has production contracts which Q Television will inherit once the deal is finalized. Q Television hopes to take possession of the studio by June 1, 2005 and have a final closing no later than July 1, 2005... http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/050520/205258.html?.v=1
they no longer require the equipment because this studio has all the equipment they will require.
now in one of the interviews, frank has stated that he is fully funded through 2008. and informs us that his burn rate is 1.5 - 2 million a month.
out of this 2 million a month lets figure high and say that thier fixed costs of office space and staffing requirements are between 200-300 grand a month. but lets play it conservative as say $500 grand. this will leave on the high end 1.5 million a month that is production costs.
now we take to-days pr and start to dissect it.
they say that the new production studios will allow them to cut thier production costs by 73%. 73% of 1.5 million a month equates to a savings of $1,095,000 a month.
on top of that the studio has a income of $400,000 a month in revenues.
OK so now lets back up now.
U4 will be asking us where does Frank get the money to buy this studio.
Well lets Analise this. We are funded to 2008 and we are spending 2 million a month.
we dont know what we paid for it, but if the posts earlier are accurate it looks like the cash price for the studio is just under 3 million dollars.
with a savings of $1,095,000 a month even if we paid 5 million for the studio, our savings per month and the revenue the studio produces we could pay for it for it with only 4 months of savings in costs, meaning 5 months from today the studio is fully paid for and we have reduced our costs by 73% in the 5th month. meaning that any funding after that could go 73% further then it did before.
now we have revenue from the studio at $400,000 we have Revenue that we dont know how much from the dvd sales. we have revenue from subscribers. numbers that we last heard where 22,000 which gives us $87,000 and we have revenue from advertising which lets say its only $50,000 a month right now, i believe that is low but i want to remain conservative. $400,000 $87,000 $50,000
This comes to $537,000 in revenues that we are aware of at this point.
we reduced out monthy expenses of 2 million by 1.095 million leaving a burn rate of $903,000 month
less the $537,000 revenues leaves us a deficit of $366,000 in order to make up the difference we either need to get 91,000 more subscribers, which once we go national is a no brainer or 50,000 more subscribers and raise our advertising dollars.
now something to think about is that on July 29th Frank stated that our subscriptions where up over 200% which would mean 66,000 subs. so if these numbers are accurate, you can reduce the needs by about 44,000 subs to make us break even.
last week Frank stated that we would be profitable by 2nd quarter of 2006. that is only 12 months from now. I think he is being conservative.
these numbers are all derived from information that has been released to us from PRs and interviews.
we are going to be rocking here real soon people.
so this is the long version of why i feel that to-days PR was a big PR

The question about the studio was one of the ones I had asked about afew weeks ago. I am glad they came through with it and got it finalized. As far as the audit figures, I don't expect they will show up for at least a week or 2 as long as everything is on schedule. I am making this speculation based on my conversation with Richard. Studios with rental on off times and contracts? Oh ya! The pace is beginning to pickup and generated revenues are begining to grow.
