The beautiful thing about a nice dump is: The dumpers will have to chase it when it runs. And there is a good chance I can get some orders filled.

Email from Sandy:Not sure if someone else has already posted.
Dear Gentlemen:
I have attached each one of your emails to this email so that I respond to most of your questions in one email rather then 10 emails that are basically all the same.
I cannot understanfd why at this stage with so many pr's with regards to the ownership issue that anyone would keep questioning it.........it is totally ridiculous.
BKMP owns 20% of Blackout Communications - Blackout Communications owns 100% of TFN - I don't think I can be any clearer on this if I were to hang from the highest building - if anyone is unclear then read this 100 times until you do understand it.
Because BKMP is a 20% shareholder - it will get what Blackout Communications (BKCM) gives it - either by way of a distribution or share of distributed income - nothing else - or if there is a sale of BKCM then BKMP would get 20% of the proceeds, just because BKMP owns 20% does not mean it gets to share in the revnues and expenses assets and liabilities of BKCM - it doesn't work that way - and if any one of you do not understand that - then ask an accountant, they will.
No further buybacks right now.
TFN is working on getting out of Canada - if you would have read my last shareholder letter it stated the countries TFN is working on.........it takes time, the media world is changing very fast these days, what with Broadband and Mobile as well as IPTV there is a lot going on in this space and lots of people/companies in it - anyone in this space wants to try and make the right decisions.
No the company is not in any trouble - things are just fine.
I hope the divy works itself out, but will probably have to do a reverse split on them to try and get them trading.
I understand from the T/A that ETrade, Scottrade and Ameritrade are getting the certificates into individual names and will deliver this actual certificates in due course.
The T/A is not on a gag order - he gets way too many calls and is busy and does not have to answer any questions if he doesn't want to.
UFC is but just one MMA Promotion - we have 15 other MMA promotions from all over the world on the network and there are lots more out there - is UFC trying the WWE model - who knows but I don't think everyone will sell to them and competition is good for the soul.
The bottom line here is that you need to have patients as this is a long term ride and it will take time to do everything we want to, but TFN will succeed and the share price will hopefully reflect that success as long as the MM's don't kill us along the way.
Just think about this - what we would happen to the share price if we were to get into all these countries that we are working on - what would happen if some one being a major media company were to take a stake in the company - what would happen if we partnered with a new incredible technology that distributes our signal all over the globe .............................a lot of what ifs..........all plausible...................
You gentlemen might think we are just sitting around - but let me tell you no other digital network in Canada has gotten complete coverage right across the country in one year like we did...........now being mostly Americans you would really know or understand that - but it is a real accomplishment...........our programming line-up is second to none.........we have 15 MMA promotions - 15 boxing promotions and 10 wrestling promotions as well as movies, documentataries and news coverage - we have it all and then some - we have a dedicated team of professionals that love what they are doing..............this is a tough business and we are doing everything we can to make our Network the best in the business..........
Not everything is news worthy, doesn't mean nothing is going on in our business, but don't take no news as something is wrong or nothing is happening - a lot is going on and a lot is happening.........when a news worthy event happens we will report it.
There has been no changes in the o/s.
Thank you.
Sandy Winick

Good god, what a crook! Does he really think that not one of us knows the difference between a closely held corporation and a publically traded corporation?
BKMP is a public company owning 20% of Blackout Communications, a closely held (not free trading) company. There are only two avenues to shareholder value for BKMP.
1. Revenue sharing. Sandy says maybe/maybe not (as though this wasn't the crux of everybody's questions. Thanks for not answering it yet again).
2. 20% of a buyout. Hopefully all the speculation of the divy being a poison pill was wrong, because otherwise, we're the ones being poisoned.
He needs to fix his attitude. He works for the shareholders, not the other way around. He's got a lot of nerve getting all snippy that we expect him to do his job.

Is there any lingering doubt that this is a total POS? Did the CEO of this POS company just make it abundantly clear?

I actually liked that Sandy post. The dude doesn't control the PPS and has said this was a long term situation from the beginning. If you don't like BKMP, please sell at .0002 so I can get my order filled.

Nah, just a bunch of impatient people panic selling. The company is growing, they just aren't ready to give the PR that sends it on another run. If you look at the chart you will see that it did this same drop before it ran to .0018 last time.

I’ve poked gentle fun at Canada in this space. (We kid because we love, eh?) But there’s one component of their chilly slice of the Earth that practically makes me seethe with envy: a 24-hour channel devoted to concussions, hematomas, and all manner of wonderful joint injuries.
It’s the Fight Network, and they broadcast some ultra-obscure shows that would otherwise leave you at the mercy of some demented bootlegger who promised you “Jungle Fight 2” and wound up mailing you a Beta tape of three Facts of Life episodes.
Why isn’t it in the States yet? I’m not privy to the cable company wrangling, or how much it costs to port over a brand-new offering: I do know my local Time-Warner outlet has channels devoted to fishing, grainy football games from the late 1800s, and one preoccupied exclusively with a blue screen and a faint buzzing noise. I think there’s room.
Here’s hoping ’07 brings the stream over here.

I have a question for you to ask all the peeps on iHub and anywhere else you can get some responses:
If TFN were to offer TFN as a broadband service, whereby you could get it via the internet (not from your local cable or satellite provider) how many of the people following the company and the stock would subscribe to it.........just trying to get a feeling for the interest in it and what would you pay for it...........$9.99 per month is that too much or is that not enough to charge??????
How many of your friends and relatives would subscribe as well????
If you could get me some feedback that would be great.

Entertainment sources are like drugs, you gotta get people hooked before they would be willing to pay for them. You'd have to give it free for a couple of months on the internet and advertise the crap out of it for a couple weeks on all the MMA websites before people would be willing to pay anything for it. And I hope they aren't planning this INSTEAD of going after the cable companies.
Also, I think it would be better to go the Video on Demand/itunes route, where people pay 50 cents to a dollar to view their favorite individual programs from the TFN archives.

As noted above, Sandy has requested a survey of board members. I'm not sure why or what it all means. I'm just the messanger. If you want to participate please send email to mdoherty0835*msn.com answering the following questions.
If you have already posted on the list at IHUB, please DO NOT duplicate. Thanks
1) would you watch TFN on you computer 2) Is 9.99 per month to high, to low, or about right.

I think this is a brilliant idea. If he sets the price just right and advertises this well, they could pick up tons of US subscribers. That's good for one reason and one alone: To prove to cable/sat providers the DEMAND for TFN.

A GREAT POST FROM IHUB: semi301200 a former broker
That's okay, as NSS is very difficult to spot, especially with a stock with the outstanding shares of BKMP. You trust him, and that is the key; however, one crucial point you should look at, and that is the previous daily volume of BKMP, and the days of massive volume, within the past year. Yes, BKMP has been diluted, but, in the early days of 2006, the volume didn't justify the float, in a simplistic manner, and billions of shares traded. The SEC is aware of NSS, and has even condoned it, in selective issues, claiming it creates a market continuity; the problem is, it's rampant, and many funds, brokerages, organizations, etc. are making billions while sacrificing many viable companies. True, many pinkies are illusions, or pump and dump, but potentially good companies, like BKMP, are being affected; yes, we do have 13.6 billion shares outstanding, but the news, the current coverage, the hirings, cellulars, etc. point to major success, in the future. Yet the MMs have continued to suppress the PPS, IMO, in order to cover their massive short sells, as previously mentioned by **********. Many people have contacted the SEC, NASD, AMERITRADE, and complained, concerning the problem involving BKMP, but they respond by rubber stamping e-mails, and do nothing; thus, major news will be the answer, and, eventually, IMO, the shareholders will prevail.
