Sorry it has taken me so long to post this, I was having scanner problems.
It's our very own Betting Babe, who graced the BACK COVER of The New York Times Magazine on Aug 7. Do you have any idea what an honor that is?
I think it takes a heck of a woman to put her pic where her words are! All the rest of us "hide" behind our screen name(s!). I'd really like to thank her for all she's contributed and her incredible honesty! Plus, just "knowing" her, I feel like I get to have lunch at the cool table.

Friday, August 12, 2005 Q Television Network Closes Studio Deal in Burbank, CA
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. – August 12, 2005 -- Q Television Network (OTCBB Other: QBID), the first 24/7 premium network for the gay and lesbian community, which will be celebrating its one-year anniversary on September 5th, announced today that it has purchased and closed on a revenue generating studio in Burbank, California. The studio will be renamed “Q Television Media City" and will be the center of all of Q's original programming.
Q Television Media City — when not in use filming for Q Television — will be rented out to filmmakers, television creators and entertainment executives seeking a Los Angeles studio for production. Currently the studio generates up to $400,000.00 per month in production fees.
"This turn-key facility, which has been the home of "Jeopardy” and the "Wheel of Fortune," is state of the art and will make our transition out of Dallas quite seamless,” said Frank Olsen, President, CEO and Founder of Q Television Network. “Our Partnership with Firestone has never been stronger, but our growth required us to obtain an independent studio of our own. Media City equips us with all the necessary technology and space to create, produce and shoot all of our original programs. Q Television is now extremely visible to the media universe because of our own studio in close proximity to the most famous studios in the world. We are extremely pleased with this purchase, and the added income that the studio will bring in will reduce our monthly liability by 73 percent.”
There will be an open house for all viewers and investors mid-September. An announcement on the exact date and time will be made a few weeks in advance.

Finaly an other 2000 dollars available to buy more... but somethings holding me not to do it now, I'm not gonna buy it now, why would I? when there are PR's coming the PPS doesn't move anymore like we have seen some days ago, an for the audit they sad that they would announce it a few days befoure it 'll be realeased, so before that there wont be a run, so I'm gonna hold it and see at wich PPs it 'll be some days before the audit comes, I already have 3.5 million, I could also wait when the audit comes and "if" it would run, I'll buy in the run, because I can't imagin the run just holds one day...

Hey Gang, This is my first post to this board so bear with me. I am very excited about this stock. I have been long for over a year and a half now, and over that time I have accumulated over 5mil shares. The price of the stock is killing me, and I agree that nothing significant will happen until the audit comes out.
Now my question is, why does everyone seem to agree that a R/S would be a bad thing? I would think that it would jack the price up and make the stock more attractive to more main stream investors and potentially even some institutional ones, allowing for a much quicker run up in real terms. I love the psychological impact of owning millions of shares of the company, but 500k at $10 does me just as much good as 5million at $1.
I am just missing the logic against a R/S. Any help would be cool.

on the other side, if it would fell even more down then 0.0013, lets say 0.0007 or even lower, for those who have still some money that would be perfect I think,because that way,you can buy more to lower your avg cost, right? (for those ho can't buy more it would be frustrating, because they wanna see it go quickly up)

OK, I have some concerns at the moment, but until I see an audit or something catastrophic I am holding the majority of my shares for much higher prices.
I would like to know the lease versus purchase question that has now been raised.
And now I am unfortunately going to give bashers some ammo - sorry - anyone that has followed my postings for any time knows I feel strongly about this company... and anyone that comes forward and trys to claim I am on can basically go blow - but why the misleading Cox PR?
The PR says we have a licensing agreement with Cox, then Frank goes on to say “We are thrilled to be selected by Cox Communications as a premium channel in its television line-up,” said Frank Olsen, President, CEO and Founder of Q Television Network. “We applaud Cox's commitment to diversity, and appreciate its recognition of the need to service and give voice to the gay community.”
If I am rereading this PR correctly then this is - unfortunately - not a national carrier deal. It is a hunting license. It allows us to go to each Cox cable operator and ask them to put Q on the air as we now have the permission of the parent company to do so... they all could say no to us and we would esentially get no carrier deal from this. I do not expect this to happen as I suspect that there are some areas that we will be welcome with wide open arms and other areas not so much.
Basically this puts us in the same boat as Boomerang. Anyone that has kids, or likes cartoons, knows that Cartoon Network has a second channel that is called Boomerang, they run commercials daily on Cartoon Network asking you to call your cable company to get Boomerang (its all vintage - ack I feel old all of a sudden - cartoons of when I suspect most of us here were growing up) added to the line up. No calls and request pressure, no adding the channel.
I am guessing a lot more people saw through this immediately and thats why this didnt become a huge deal. This also could be why the Ludlow related PR said "possible".
So yes, after all my DD for the last year or so I am actually a little concerned at this moment in time. I do believe in Q, I do think that most of whizknocks reality check questions are all still golden, but I hate to say this, I am questioning very hard at the moment my trust in Frank.
Am I selling? No, but I have put in a sell order on enough of my shares that I break out a little over even on a temporary spike.
Should you take any of what I say as gospel and start panicing? NO!
However, I have a lot at stake at the moment in Q and until I get some answers my concerns will remain.

Hoss Welcome to QBID's Adult Daycare Center.
In theory, a reverse split should be "no different than" a forward split, since each shareholder's portfolio value stays the same. It just occurs in the opposite direction.
But historically, reverse splits have been negative for shareholders while forward splits have been positive. Here's a typical example:
A stock's PPS before the split tends to "return" after the split. So, let's look at 100 shares of a $2 stock, total value of $200:
A forward 2-1 split would create 200 shares at $1 a share with the same total value of $200. But historically, the new price of $1 often recovers to $2 within a short time. Since shareholders have twice as many shares after the split, their portfolio value is soon $400.
The same for a reverse split: A stock that splits 1-2 at $2 a share often sees the new price of $4 DIP back to $2 within a short time. Since shareholders have half as many shares after the split, they end up with a portfolio value of only $100.
As I said, this is WHAT often happens after splits. The WHY is not so simple.

Thanks for the response, and I definitely don't want my value halved. I would just think that jacking the price up would make it much easier for us to get off of the pinksheets and out of this pattern all together. Either way, I think it is just a matter of time. (I just wish it would hurry! )

but if we get of the pinksheet, would it make a different? in hte end it would be the same,or not? since 3 weeks ago I never buyed shares in stocks or nasdaq er amex, I was looking aroun to see if there werer shares with potential, so finaly I had chosen 3, and I had to make a dissision witch one I would buy, these were the 3: SSTY,IGTN, and Qbid, i've chosen Qbid because I saw a potential to go up fast, I think there are many other if the want to buy shares they use the same way of thinking of me, but if we were ofthe pinks, the little investors like us would be intrested anymore , we had our run then and most of us would have sell them by then, so the little ones who want to see his money go up fast wouldn't buy it anymore because the see that it already had a big run...

I have had stock in a few companies that have reverse split and the price never jumped to such a level that I was able to make any money in most cases I lost money. Just a hunch but if QBID R/S I think it wouldn't be small like a 10 for 1 but much larger. I'm basing that on my past experience and nothing concrete. Also the price jump I have experienced was never a big jump. for example I had bought in a company Biopure when it was around .80 and then it dipped down further. Then the news hit, in order to stay listed on NASDAQ it needed to get back up to 1.00 per share so they revers split 6 for 1 I ended up with 34 shares and then the price went to something like 1.40. I spent over 100 bucks initally and even after the split I still could not get my initial invesment back. So that is why R/S is not welcomed.

Well it appears that the studio PR is back on the website, strange that it was missing for almost 24 hours.
But as I said last night, maybe the webmaster was updating the site. Just great to see it back on the site.
GO QBID!!!!!! Bring ON The Green

This is exactly what happened to GTE. After a 10 for 1 R/S and subsequent move to AMEX they've but slowly lose over 100% percent of they're value.

Jonas, we WANT the big investors to take notice and price it out of the range of little investors. I am not interested in keeping it on the pinks to make it cheap for others. I want it to be really expensive when some Small Cap Growth index fund decides to buy into this company.

Thanks for the responses. I am for whatever works at this point. I am just not used to the penny stock world. Up until QBID, I have never invested in a stock without financials, much less one that had to worry about reverse splits!
