Just checkin' in. Still holding long and strong! Heck, I may have to wire in some more just to try and pick up a quick 500k or an extra mill at this price. I do agree though, MM's will definitely try to shake down to .0005 or .0006 since they will try to capitalize on our impatience and this stagnation.
I'm not selling jack but I too hate this waiting game, but this is a pick you just gotta roll with. I'll keep everyone posted on the quantity that I plan on purchasing so we can see if the MM's are continuing with their little games.

I have a, I guess, stupid question. I have heard the saying about "MM". What is an mm and who are they? Where are they? How do they shake things up? This is for us who are rookies.

First Canadian American Holding Corporation Reports on The Fight Network Upstart Canadian Broadcaster Says U.S. Carriage Deal Is Imminent First Canadian American Holding Corporation (OTC: FCDH) announces The Fight Network is currently only available on Rogers digital cable, but the upstart channel is looking to do something rare for a Canadian broadcaster. The Category 2 diginet devoted to martial arts and other fighting forms is in talks to be distributed in the United States -- initially on satellite TV and then on cable in select U.S. cities.
The Fight Network president and COO Mike Garrow tells Canadian Communications that the channel could be carried in the United States even before additional carriage agreements are in place with more Canadian distributors. "There's a good chance that The Fight Network will be in the United States first, before we have other Canadian agreements. I really believe that we will be in the U.S. in 2006," he says. He points out that there is no cable TV channel currently in the United States that is similar to The Fight Network, and that it acquired not only Canadian rights, but also U.S. rights, for its programming in anticipation of expansion south of the border.
"We secured options for the U.S. as part of a longer window, because we thought it would be some time before we expanded there. But we have now been approached [by a U.S. distributor], so we'll probably be exercising those options sooner," he states.
Successful expansion by The Fight Network into the U.S. would be a landmark move for a Canadian broadcaster. Generally, Canadian broadcasters partner with American players to gain access to their programming that is aired on jointly owned specialty TV channels here. For example, Alliance Atlantis Communications Inc. runs Home and Garden TV Canada in conjunction with Ohio-based Scripps Howard Broadcasting.
Garrow says that the U.S. distributor became interested in carrying The Fight Network after American viewers began phoning and asking for the channel. Word of the channel has seeped south of the border, says Garrow, mostly through the specialty channel's web site. The Fight Network has gone to wrestling and boxing matches, bars where pay-per-view (PPV) fights are broadcast, and to places like the Molson Indy, where Garrow says there's a male demographic common to The Fight Network.
The specialty TV channel is also promoting itself on its syndicated radio show it operates in conjunction with Toronto's 640 radio station. As well, an announcement will be made soon that the channel will be running eight PPV events from different fight series in conjunction with a Canadian cable operator. Garrow says the PPV content will be used to promote The Fight Network and vice-versa, and he sees additional marketing opportunities through the channel's sponsorship of fights across the country.
The Fight Network is proving to be popular, he notes, because it is not a repeat channel. "Eighty per cent of the programming that we broadcast has never been seen in Canada before," he states. Garrow isn't worried that for the time being it is only being carried by Rogers, the provider on which the channel launched in September (CCR, Sept. 27/05).
"We're in this for the long haul. It's a marathon, not a sprint," he states.
The Fight Network is leasing the broadcast facilities of Toronto-based Channel Zero, and Garrow says the channel could be uplinked from there for distribution to the United States. The Fight Network is being financed privately -- details of which Garrow would not disclose. He adds that there are fewer rules, and no need for a broadcast licence, to win the right to operate in the United States. His channel has already notified the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of its intention to broadcast down south, he states.

Time Warner Cable’s success is tied to its sensible clustering strategy. Time Warner Cable operates in 27 states serving 10.9 million customers with more than 90% of them located in clusters greater than 100,000.
New York – 2,620,000 Albany Bergen County, NJ Binghamton Delaware County Duchess County Green County Hudson County, NJ Mount Vernon New York City Orange County Rochester Sullivan County Syracuse Ulster County West Philadelphia, PA
Texas – 2,020,000 Austin Corpus Christi El Paso Harlingen Houston Laredo Port Authur/Beaumont San Antonio Waco
By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 11/23/2005 9:23:00 AM
It's hard enough for independent U.S. niche digital networks to get carriage, but Canada's Fight Network is in talks with a satellite distributor--CEO Mike Garrow wouldn't say whether it was EchoStar or DirecTV--as well as cable systems and telcos in an effort to get U.S. carriage.
The network, which only launched in Canada in September, has about a million subs, says Garrow. That may not seem like much, but there are only approximately 4.7 million digital subs in the whole country, according to a study released Friday by Ottawa-based Decima Research, though it predicts that number to climb to 5.9 million by the end of 2006.
But Garrow sees the possibility of getting more carriage in the states, more quickly, than he can get in Canada, given the limited size of the pie.
Garrow, who was in Philadelphia this week, points out that usually the media flow goes the other way, with U.S. nets rebranding themselves with a "Canada" on the end. This, he said, could be the first pure play Canadian independent to make the move to the U.S.
The channel covers wrestling, martial arts, boxing, and other combat sports, and has a two-hour syndicated radio show and Web site, thefightnetwork.com.

We have not received SNYY spin-off shares from the official paying agent yet for distribution.
Preliminary information indicates FCDH (now BKMP) is anticipated to distribute a 1 for 6 spin-off of restricted shares of SNYY. As of today the restricted shares of symbol SNYY have not been allocated and it appears that the DTC is still waiting to confirm the distribution.
Ameritrade has not received any additional information from Blackout Media Corporation or the paying agent regarding this dividend payment. Once Ameritrade receives this allocation and instruction to pay shareholders, entitle Ameritrade accounts will be updated to reflect the distribution.
Thanks,
Jon M. Apex Reorganization and Safekeeping, Ameritrade Division of Ameritrade, Inc.
I emailed Time Warner in Cape Coral, FL about a week and a half ago and got a live person response 2 days later by phone stating that they had no immediate plans of taking on TFN but with more requests they may reconsider.

if you're finished insulting me for no reason perhaps you will note: stnkng1 asked a question: (what did we end at) i answered it: 0009
not everyone is aware of the final trade that goes through, especially when they dont have access to level2 "last sales". or maybe they're just lazy, so i still give the answer.
that's what we do here.. we help each other out.
im willing to let this little brouhaha in your head leave me unaffected cuz i know you're new, but i am sitting here wondering what the buhgeezus your problem is.
off topic, thx for looking at my website. i do hope you're impressed by the fact that i design and program the entire site myself versus the simple fact that im in the pictures.
anyway, that's hump day y'all.

If your cat is anything like mine then that explains it right there. I can't be on the computer for more than 5 minutes before he jumps up and either stands in front of the monitor and won't let me see what I'm doing or else tries to sit on the keyboard and screws everything up. I throw him down, two minutes later he's back. We do this dance all day long. It sucks, but it's better than locking him in that bathroom and listening to him yowl all afternoon!

P.S. She's not asking you to bow, she couldn't see you do it anyway. Much more effective if you flatter shamelessly.

only thing is, TFN needs to get UFC on board which they currently are not. Yes, they may have individual fighters that have fought in the UFC, but no reason for UFC as a whole to promote TFN if they don't get a cut of the action IMO.

THE SEC WROTE ME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Mr. Xxxxxxxxx:
I am confirming that we received your complaint concerning the above-named firm. We take investor complaints very seriously and try, whenever possible, to provide some form of assistance.
We have sent your complaint to the firm’s compliance department and asked them to respond directly to you. We also asked the firm to send us a copy of their letter to you. Please understand that this process may take four to eight weeks.
Our efforts to facilitate informal resolutions of complaints often succeed. But, in some cases, it remains unclear whether any wrongdoing occurred, or the dispute boils down to one person’s word against another’s. If that happens, we cannot act as your personal representative or attorney, and you will then have to decide whether you want to pursue legal action on your own. The following portion of this email outlines the steps you may wish to take if you choose that option, and includes information on arbitration, mediation, and sources of potential legal assistance. Please read this information carefully. It describes your rights and important deadlines.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
CHERYL M LAWSON U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (415)705-2479
STEPS FOR PURSUING A COMPLAINT
Know your legal rights
You should know your legal rights and be prepared to take action on your own, even while waiting for the firm’s response. Federal and state securities laws allow you to start legal proceedings against those who may be engaged in wrongdoing. If you believe the firm’s response inaccurate or incomplete, consider writing a second letter to the firm, laying out the problems with the firm’s response and including copies of documents that support your views.
Act promptly
Time restrictions, called “statutes of limitations,” require you to begin legal action promptly. For example, the federal securities laws require you to bring action within two years of the date you reasonably should have discovered the wrongdoing, but no later than five years from the date it occurred. If you sue any later, you may lose the right to recover. Limitations vary from state to state and may differ depending on whether you claim a violation of state law or federal law.
Use arbitration, if agreed to
When you opened your brokerage account, you probably agreed to use arbitration (and only arbitration) to settle all disputes with your broker or the firm. But even if you did not, you may choose to use arbitration to settle disputes. If you use arbitration, arbitrators will apply either a federal or state statute of limitations, depending on the nature of your claim. You generally cannot pursue an issue through arbitration if it is more than six years old. For older cases, you will probably want to consult with an attorney. When deciding whether to arbitrate — or, if it is a choice, to sue in court — bear in mind that if your broker or brokerage firm goes out of business or declares bankruptcy, you might not be able to recover your money — even if the arbitrator or court rules in your favor.
Learn about low-cost arbitration
If you use NASD Dispute Resolution, Inc. and your claim is $25,000 or less, you generally will not have to appear in person at a hearing and an arbitrator will make a decision on your case by reviewing documents and written descriptions of what happened from you and your broker. The New York Stock Exchange also offers simplified arbitration for claims under $25,000. Simplified arbitration can be a less costly alternative because you typically do not have to travel to a hearing and appear in person to give testimony and answer questions. You should carefully review the rules governing simplified arbitration before filing a claim. To obtain information about arbitration procedures, please go to: http://www.nasdadr.com/default.asp. Again, you should weigh the costs of arbitrating against the likelihood of being able to collect any award, especially if the brokerage firm has left the industry or gone bankrupt. Firms that stay in business typically pay the arbitration awards levied against them, but defunct firms may not.
Consider Mediation
Mediation is also an option you should consider before going to arbitration. Mediation allows you to save time and money because it is quicker than arbitration and voluntary. If you can’t reach an agreement through mediation, you can still go to arbitration. To learn about mediation, please go to: http://www.nasdadr.com/default.asp.
If you decide to hire a lawyer and need help in finding one, please go to: http://www.sec.gov/answers/lawref.htm. Remember you do not have to have a lawyer to file an arbitration claim.

Description: I have 7,000,000 shares of Blackout Media Corp. (BKMP) which underwent a symbol change to BKMP from FCDH.pk. E*Trade did not change the symbol, and after several calls finally did. The problem was that I never received my dividend that was due, and I have sent several emails and calls and it still has not posted. The dividend was 1 share of SNYY for every share of BKMP held as of 12/29/05 (record date) and the pay date was 1/6/06. I owned FCDH since early December, far before the x-date, and the company spokesperson has stated that all of the dividend shares had been distributed to the DTC. E*Trade says that they do not see any dividend that I am owed. I believe that this stock, as FCDH, was naked shorted and I received counterfeit shares, which is the problem in my dividend not transfering. There are hundreds of other investors in the BKMP forums on sites such as InvestorsHub and RagingBull that are stating that they as well have not received anything, although some say that they do show the restricted shares, and or cusip# in their accounts. I think that this company has had the Market Makers printing and shorting bogus shares, and now we the investors are holding them. They should be forced to give us not only the actual authentic shares, but the dividend that was due, even if this means that they may be out substantial sums, since SNYY trades at over a dollar, and the dividend was 1 SNYY for every 6 FCDH held. If there was a substantial naked short on this stock, then they are truly in trouble, but at the very least must make sure to give the brokers the authentic shares, as well as the dividends that are due to make ammends to the inconsistancies in the shareholders brokerage accounts, especially E*Trade and Scottrade. Thank you in advance for your time, and I look forward to hearing more on this matter in due fashion.
