I have a few questions...
How does the demand look for the channel, from what you've seen? (I saw that you said TW in Palm Springs receives a lot of calls for the channel).
Will you be subscribing, when the channel is available?
Do you currently get LOGO or have watched any of here? Is the programming something that you would like to see? Is there more of a buzz about those channels or QTN, from what you've seen?
How did you find out about QTN? Do you tell people about it?
Thanks, I was just wondering...

I think Q should slow down with the ambitious growth pattern crap and concentrate more on getting this share value up. I just have a hard time getting over this thing that everytime the share holders want answers to questions, Frank comes up with a line of sh1t about the issue, then we never hear about it again. I'm glad Imakmoney sent that letter to him. I wouldn't be surprised if its the only way that he will ever release it.

After your challenge. If I were you I would be more worried about Frank putting on his work boots and coming over to your house to take care of business

One thing for sure is that Frank is greedy, so who knows what he is doing about buying shares.

Question for all of you, would it make any difference if "Q" were to go nationwide on either Comcast or Dish, or will it take something else to get the PPS moving upward. Just mere speculation on my part

If it hits 0001 and anyone can actually get a buy in there other than MMs the company won't have to do a share buyback. The true longs will soak up a few billion shares on that day alone.
I have an order in for 50 million at 0001 just in case, and might add to that. And I know people will say that is insane (and I can't argue that it isn't! LOL)
But my logic is simple. 60 billion a/s $1 billion in value (eventually! gay games, assets, subscriptions, ad revenue, etc. NOT from Franks numbers)
$1 billion / 60 billion shares = .016 per share
WORST CASE SCENARIOS
BANKRUPTCY - we get nothing, but with the growth of the channel, that doesn't appear likely any time soon. (although class action law suits could hurt)
MORE DILUTION - let's say up to 120 billion a/s, if the company keeps growing and is worth at least $1 billion you are still talking .008 pps
REVERSE SPLIT NO MORE DILUTION - Would probably hurt a lot in short term pps, but not if it came time to sell the company. Value per % ownership would be the same as pre split
REVERSE SPLIT WITH DILUTION - Second worst case after bankruptcy. Price could plummet depending on how big the r/s was and how much dilution followed it.
It is all a gamble. But I still like the odds.

I am holding until I am either rolling a giant 4 million share certificate spliff or cash out a happy man. When I bought into this that was the exit plan intended and that hasn't, and I doubt it will ever, change.

Hey MJM, Funny you should ask a question about the "buzz". I was out a couple of Sunday's ago at a weekly drag show, and one of the special guests was the main character of a gay sitcom on LOGO. The host asked the crowd if they had ever heard of LOGO - there was really no reaction from the crowd. I heard many folks saying "I thought the gay station was QTV." They are definately known in this area. They do very heavy advertising at major gay events here (White Party/Dinah Shore, etc.)
I personally plan on subscribing when it becomes available, as do many of my friends.

I think it could cause a short term bump. But with the o/s where it is, and the track record the stock has, it will take an audit and a looong time to get off the floor. A really good pr might bring enough short term traders in to get the price up, but as soon as it hits 0006-001 people will be bailing like crazy to get those 100% flips. It will take A LOT of longs to sustain an upward trend right now. IMO

I agree with Hoss, as long as Frank doesn't increase the shares to 703 billion, the co. doesn't go bankrupt,and the name grows in value as the carriers continue to pick it up and subsribers sign up and stay signed up.....the pps could go up. GO Q!!!!

There's only one fat finger that I want to see and hold....you know who's that is.
QBID, this is just the circle of death that Ford is getting themselves into. The same circle that so many of us have seen before---the belief that cutting jobs helps companies.
It may in fact help the company stay afloat, but in the long run, it does more damage than good--to both the economy and the company.
I don't know, but I think it's the overall sentiment people reserve for Ford. I hate to be rude, but when I think of Ford I think cheap. Now, Honda has cars that are inexpensive, but they are known for building cars that last...so their demand is high. (I happen to dislike Hondas too, but that is just me...I've seen too many people put the huge mufflers and "street race-ify" their cars).
When Ford can finally correct this, then they will start making money. I think they've gotten back on the right foot with cars such as the Thunderbird and the Mustang. However, this company image continues to hurt them. A friend of mine lives in NYC, and he was looking to buy a new car. He wanted to look at the Aviator (by Lincoln, a Ford brand)...but his father didn't like that the car looked like a "drug dealer's" car. Instead they went and purchased the new Volvo SUV. It's this type of brand-image associations that are hurting sales. However, a close friend back home in NJ, offers a better story. He's my age and drives a new Range Rover. In addition to that car, his family own a Mercedes S55, Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, and I think I few others. However, they decided to add a new Thunderbird and new GTO to this collection later on. Now, I think that a turnaround point for Ford should be fairly soon, but they really need to start working on a new business plan.
Just my 2 cents...and felt bored
You are witnessing a new business plan.
And in regards to quality, let me say this...both corporate greed and political curruption has been the biggest contributor to this matter i.e. save, cost cutting.
Its just not the auto industry. Its been going on with all the big companies for years.
Things like cheaper labor abroad and tarrif cuts has been crippling our country for a long time and will continue to do so. But are we going to stop it? Can we...me and you, "the people"...I don't think so. Greed is to powerful mjm.

What is the main carrier in plam springs? I dont understand why no carriers have picked them up in palm springs yet if the gay population is so large.
Lets hope Q knows what they are doing and are negoitating palm springs with the big carriers
Also LA, where is LA! who is the big carrier there? with that big gay section of hollywood, they should be launching there.

I think we need a bonafide national carrier deal, not hunting license contracts, and reporting status - regardless of the reporting results - and we are golden.
I dont think Comcast would qualify because I believe they work the same as Cox and TW in the individual offices can pick and choose certain channels to carry, so it would have to be Direct or DISH.
One other aspect, which I do think has some possibility, was the TW rumor. If they were purchased by TW it would very likely be mandatory that all TW franchises carry it so that would equate to a DISH or Direct TV deal.
With the inevitable sale of AOL on the horizon (even without) - they lose their PlanetOut collaboration with the loss of AOL so they essentially our out of the GLBT market at that point. I wouldn't be at all shocked to see TW jump into this to compete with Viacom. They are and have already done this in other areas. Cartoon Network/Boomerang/WBkids vs Nickolodeon/Nicktoons - Showtime vs HBO, Turner Classic Movies vs Nick at Nite/TVLand, WB vs The N and so on...

The main carrier in Palm Springs is TW. And of course, there is Dish. Not too sure about LA though.

Yeah it would certainly show continuing growth but I would say that it would have no baring on the big investors in their decision not to invest without an audit.
Basically moving the pps only slightly higher. But thats just my rookie opinion.

No difference. There is no "real" shareholder information available to verify anything we have been told.

I think that LA is carved up by multiple carriers.

Isn't this just the year end sell-off when people want to take some losses for tax purposes? No reason to freak out here.

You are right, people sell and then buy back in the first of the year. They take a loss and buy back in at a lower PPS.
