Transcript of new Qtelevision message:
This is Frank.
Things are wonderful, and I wish that I could tell you all the great news, but I can't. Ahh! Except that I am loosing my voice. Um, for specific questions, you can email me at info@qtelevision.com The hard launch will be tomorrow, and that means that we will be running 8 hours of programming, 3 times.It will be for any carrier that wants to take it, and that has been liscenced, but, we will not be announcing carriers until all contracts have been put togetherand have been signed, unless we have permission from a specific carrier. This will happen soon. I know you're awfully impatient and would like to get this information out. But, I cannot give it out any sooner than I am allowed to. I made that mistake once before and lost the agreement about three years ago. I'm not going to make that mistake twice. So bear with us, and, uh, your network is going to be strong, viable, and a moneymaker. I GAURANTEE IT!! Have a great 4th of July weekend, and remember - that is info@qtelevision.com

TRIANGLE MULTI MEDIA (QBID) DUE DILLIGENCE FACTUAL ACCURATE
APRIL 8, 2004
I DID THE BEST I COULD TO COMPILE COMPLETE INFORMATION ON TRIANGLE MULTI MEDIA (QBID). MY THOUGHTS WERE THAT IF SOMEONE WANTED TO SEND INFORMATION TO A FELLOW TRADER OR E-MAIL AS INFORMATIONAL PACKET TO ENLIGHTEN THEM TO THE OPPORTUNITY INVOLVED IN QBID, THEY COULD DO SO WITH MINIMAL EFFORT. YOU MAY QUESTION WHAT IS ON THIS BOARD BUT THERE IS NO HYPE OR LIES.
OF COURSE THERE IS SPECULATION, HOPES AND DREAMS. THAT IS A GIVEN.
THE FACTS ARE HERE. IF THE NETWORK IS LAUNCHED IT WILL BE INCREDIBLE AND ALL OUR LIVES WILL BE BLESSED.
IF IT DOES NOT LAUNCH WE WILL ALL HIT THE SELL BUTTON AND MOVE ON TO ANOTHER HOPEFUL STOCK. THOSE ARE THE FACTS.
THIS IS NOT A "BUY THIS YOU ARE GOING TO BE RICH" THREAD. THIS IS A THREAD OF THE POTENTIAL LAUNCHING OF A GAY/LESBIAN T.V. NETWORK.
WILL IT OR WILL IT NOT? I PAWNED MY CRYSTAL BALL TO BUY QBID. THE TIME THE PLACE AND POLITICAL SITUATION IS GOOD. WE ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. STILL NO GUARANTEE'S. THAT'S THE FACTS. READ THE THREAD AND DO YOUR DD. VERY IMPORTANT.
THIS IS A GAMBLE NOT AN INVESTMENT. YOU ARE SITTING AT THE BLACKJACK TABLE AND THE DEALER HAS A BREAK CARD SHOWING. YOU HAVE A SOFT 17. DO YOU DOUBLE DOWN?
BY THE WAY IT MAY TURN INTO AN INVESTMENT. RIGHT NOW IT IS A GAMBLE. IMHO JUST LIKE ALL PENNY STOCKS.

===> 8 July 03: From an article at Gay.com ... The plan, first announced by Showtime/MTV in Nov 02, to launch an all-gay, 24-hour cable television channel by the Spring of 03 has been placed on hold indefinitely, allegedly due to the poor state of the economy. After launch, this appears to allow TTN to lay claim to the title "First 24/7 gay TV network in the U.S."
===> 7 July 03: (Revised): There is evidence now, via persons communicating with TW, of TTN trying to arrange a first wave of simultaneous separate PRs issued through multiple local TW marketing units from around the country. Since there would be logistical complexities in getting this to all play together, a few extra days of delay in getting the PRs out should not be unexpected. See also http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=QBID&read=70048 . In the meantime, "Pay Per View" and rival "Direct TV" have fired a shot (of sorts) across TWC's (and TTN's) bow: http://www.amtdrt.inlumen.com/bin/story?StoryId=CpWJWqbKbytu0otu
===> 4 July 03: At a time when the summer heat is still heading in the upward direction, it seems intriguing that TMM is suddenly reversing itself by switching back to regular-season hours! It was only a short time ago that the company announced that it had scaled back to reduced hours for the summer (not unusual for P.S. businesses during the hot months). Yet, today's updated after hour phone recording states that TMM's "new" summertime hours will be 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM starting next Monday, 7 July.
===> 2 July 03: Triangle Multi Media President and CEO Frank Olsen gives audio interview on "Wall Street Reporter." Highlights 10 year, multi-city deal for TV carriage via Time Warner Cable, potential for retail product spinoffs, as well as goal to be listed on an exchange by end of 2004: http://www.******************.com/linked/TRIANGLEMULTIMEDIA.html
===> 1 July 03: June 20-26 article affirms that popular actor and producer-director Bob Poirier (AKA Bobby Roger) is coming back to help spearhead TTN launch: http://www.portlandphoenix.com/television/documents/02958184.asp
===> 30 June 03: Amazing 737 million shares traded today! Intraday high upticked to $0.0003. Next best chance for first round of PR's seems to be immediately after the upcoming 4th of July weekend. Meanwhile, check out today's AOL TW's "Opportunity Investment Fund" announcement. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/030630/305395_1.html .Could one of the upcoming PR's be similar to this but with Triangle's name in it?
===> 27 June 03: Now prominently posted on Triangle's web sites: ON QBID SITE: <><> "Qbid takes Pride in the announcement of TTN, inc., in which Qbid has a vested interest, concerning their relationship with Time Warner Cable. For further information please see TTN's website at http://www.triangletelevisionnetwork.com " ... and ON TTN SITE: <><> "TTN PROUDLY ANNOUNCES A 10 YEAR NATIONAL CONTRACT WITH TIME WARNER CABLE. Target Cities and Launch Dates are currently being reviewed and will be announced soon. Watch For Further Announcements." <><> In the meantime, just two days ago a U.S. Supreme Court decision was handed down that overthrew Texas' anti sodomy law that was being used to discriminate against gay couples. And just a few days before that, Canada legalized same sex marriages. Certainly we are at a point in history where acceptance of gay rights is accelerating and is in the forefront of the news. Is the order and close timing of the above events a complete coincidence, or is there something more going on here? The scope and (arguably) almost urgent tone of TTN's post sure seems to be signaling the possiblity that TW has now abruptly entered a "get TTN on the air around the country without delay" mode.
===> 23 June 03: PR on 24 or 25 JUNE? Two callers reaching separate people at the company, and reporting on another board, are told there might be a PR tomorrow or Wednesday. Huge volume uptick today to over 97 million shares; price jump at end of day to close at $0.0002!
===> 21 June 03: IMPORTANT POSITIVE BREAKTHROUGH HAS APPARENTLY BEEN REACHED WITH TW IN ONLY LAST DAY OR TWO that will permit the release of considerably more information on the contractual relationship between TW and TTN. A PR may come out the week of 23 June that could reveal this relationship publicly for the first time. If so, the PR will likely also reveal fresh evidence of TW's attempts to get TTN launched at the first opportunity. This could finally mark the beginning of very exciting times for TTN (and for QBID Shareholders). Question:...Could news a couple of days ago proclaiming that same sex marriages in Canada are now legal have anything to do with what is happening?
R.I.P. GIMLI
I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Gimli aka Ron. Ron and I go back to the old days of GAAY. We had some great battles over the years. He had a way of getting under my skin. He will be missed by many that post at Raging Bull. May God Bless his family.
REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND
Being sold off for it's name value and "..dying.." are two different things entirely.
A shell is a shell, it has value in and of itself for the launch of some different effort - by another company.
Persumably some other effort in the minorities market will have use for the equating of GAAY and its company name or market; and QBID wwill derive the benefit of sales price.
If you're a shell player, it might be worth the wait. If you are a McDonald's investor, it obviously wouldn't meet your criteria.
Your right it is going to die soon b/c
its useless

To potential advertisers we can offer the most attractive demographic targets in the U.S. The gay and lesbian community is
highly educated, has a household income over 60% higher than the average American household, and they tend to have a
much higher level of disposal income than the national average. Additionally, this niche group is disenfranchised from
American society and effectively overlooked by mass marketing mediums.
With a population loosely estimated to range from 8 – 15% of the U.S. population, or approximately between 21-40 million
people, this enormous market is, in many ways unseen, and, at least by the mass marketing vehicles, untapped.
We can bring information about your product or services to one of the most attractive demographic targets in the United
States. The gay and lesbian community has over $514 billion dollars in purchasing power—a number simply too big to
ignore. And, this estimated value does not include the ancillary market—friends of gays, parents, children of gay men and
women, and more. The value of this audience is overwhelming. To quote Simmons Market Research Gay and Lesbian
Market Study, “respondents are well-educated, affluent, sophisticated customer’s who show loyalty to advertisers willing to
take the risk of marketing to them”.

Per the SEC, changes are coming for the penny market. The following information, if you invest in penny stocks, you will find to be a breathe of fresh air. It's about time.:) Around the first week of May, 2001, I read a post from someone who got an email back from a guy at the SEC. I called the guy for questions. It turned out that naked shorting/manipulation wasn't up his ally. However, we talked for 10-15 minutes about nakedshorting/manipulation. He had to ask me exactly what naked shorting meant. I explained the entire situation with information on the companies that are fighting the "short", he was intrigued. He even said "wow, how do they do that" (sell virtual shares). I said I could email you some "stuff". I did. A couple days later I emailed him to ask if he could give me a name and a number of someone closer to the action. He did a little better. I received a call from an SEC official on 5-15, that seemed to me, said maybe more than she should have? I spoke to the same official on 5-18. Here is what she said. I would like to mention the demeanor of this person I talked to - imo, gitty and excited to be in the middle of this.:):) First, she said she has received 4,000 complaints from investors about shorting/manip in the penny arena. Those 4,000, I'm not sure if that was the total or just what she has seen. Obviousley, tons came from pcbm but the complaints were in general. I did not inquire specifically about pcbm, but as I talked about all the companies that are asking for cert pulls, companies doing dividends etc, I passed the name on of a few companies. She is aware of all of them. Here is the current situation. She told me to watch the SEC website for proposed rule changes for the penny market. She said she wished they could have gotten them out already, but they should be out this summer. She said they want feedback, ( I think that last 90 days) both positive and negative feedback. I asked a few point blank questions, and to my surprise, they were answered - in flying colors I might add.lol I asked if she thought that naked short selling is happening to the point of manipulation. The answer was yes. She said "We are completely aware of what's going on out there". I asked her to what extent are some issues being shorted. She said "We are seeing indications where the short has gone beyond the entire O/S." Now, if she would have laughed and said "No, there is no way the manipulation goes to that extent." Mine, and all of our hearts would have sank. What this means is that, were not nuts to have thought the mm's have been doing this to the extent we thought. We were right all along. So we started talking about rules. First, for the otcbb market, rule 15c211 really doesn't seem to be effective or enforced. There is a problem with it. MM's are not closing out and going even monthly like they are suppose to. This is about when, w/o me asking, she was giddy and told me she would love to tell me the changes in the proposal are but she can't. In regards to pink sheets, worse yet. She said that the SEC doesn't govern the buyback/go even stuff with the pinks but she said to the best of her knowledge there are no rules pertaining to that with pink sheeters. She is aware that there is a "movement" from us investors trying to nab the shorts. I asked her if she thought the mm's are aware that "we" are onto them. She laughed and said "I don't know, I would think so." Asking about the actual process of busting the shorts and creating a buy in, that was not up her ally. But as we know, pcbm is right on the doorstep along with numerous other companies. She told me I could call anytime, I will see if I could possibly get a name and number of someone at the SEC who can talk about the mechanics of a buy in. She brought up another rule that isn't being followed. Rule 153c-3. Yes, someone else is being naughty too,lol your broker. They are required to have you sign a release in order to allow the broker to lend your shares out with your margin accounts. Have you ever signed one of those? She laughed and said "That particular rule isn't being followed." Now, regarding the proposed changes, I asked how long it can take to make actual changes. She said they are in a tough spot right now because they have no chairman at the SEC at this point. So, who know's. The situation is, those changes when they do happen, won't effect companies that are now battling a short position. Again, many companies are doing what they can legally to get it busted. Along with pcbm, I understand there are others knocking on the door. The situation as I see it is two fold. One, and should be foremost, is that change is coming to the penny world that should make this game somewhat fair. THAT is huge. Secondly, as I mentioned, with tons and tons of circumstantial evidence, and now what the SEC confirms, it shows we were on the right track all this time. Here's a couple of thought I have. One is, the mm's have been playing this game a long time. Guess why it's coming to an end? Answer, the net. The forum, unity, gumption lol, brains, have all come together. The rule changes have come too late to save the mm's from themselves. I believe we will go into the next era of investing which we can dub "The big bang theory.":):) So the mm's know were onto them. With this issue and others, here's a thought I have as far as there game plan. Are they manipulating these prices so low (in pcbms situation the price is now at 4 ecnts) that when there is a run to 6 cents, 8, 10, 12 cents, won't there be a ton of sellers? Do you think they think they damn near have a cap on 20 cents? 500% return, damn nice right? Well, there will be sellers, the problem is we own the float as much as 10 times over. We will decide what they should pay us. Note to bashers: Wake up and die right. The writing is on the wall. No one needs you people, your completely worthless failures. Information good or bad will be discussed by the longs, sure as #### don't need you stick your lousy attitude into it. Perhaps you should drive truck.lol I suggest you think about finding a stock that has a huge short and invest. Quit batteling against change in the penny market. In regards to paid bashers: There is a plan for you guys too. If any investors out there beleive that a particular basher is paid who hits it really really hard. Email the board name and one post # to jmcjmc99@yahoo.com. (The pcbm board needs not to do this, you all know I know everyone here).:):) Feel free to post this on any board where there is beleived to be heavy shorting and manipulation. Good luck all.:):)
GAAY is a shell now, and will be peddled to some other outfit.

Hughes Electronics seeks to raise debt for spinoff
LOS ANGELES, March 10 (Reuters) - Hughes Electronics Corp. (NYSE:GMH - news) Chairman Michael Smith is promoting a plan to spin off the satellite service from General Motors Corp. (NYSE:GM - news) as an independent unit, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
Under one possible scenario, Hughes could raise as much as $6 billion in debt to pay off parent GM and take the service, DirecTV, independent, the newspaper said.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (Australia:NCP.AX - news), the world's fifth- largest media conglomerate, has been negotiating for months in a frustrated attempt to close a deal that would merge DirecTV into its own operations to create the world's largest satellite broadcast network.
The parties agreed on the outline of a complicated $70 billion deal last month, but subsequent talks have stalled over the price of the acquisition and the management structure of the new company.
Smith has been urging News Corp. to provide more favorable terms for the deal by agreeing to take only 30 percent of the merged entity as opposed to the 35 percent initially proposed, the Los Angeles Times reported.
At the same time, Smith has been approaching other potential strategic investors, such as Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) and trying to convince them to take a stake in the satellite broadcaster independent of News Corp., the newspaper said.
Microsoft, which is eager to broaden its access to the market for digital set-top boxes, had reportedly agreed to invest up to $5 billion in a News Corp.-led deal.
Under the initial News Corp. proposal, Smith would have been out of a job and DirecTV Chairman Eddy Hartenstein would have reported to the chief of Sky Global Networks, Chase Carey, the Los Angeles Times said.
Sky Global Networks groups News Corp.'s satellite properties, including holdings in British Sky Broadcasting, SkyPerecTV in Japan and Asia's StarTV, a fully-owned subsidiary.
A spinoff of Hughes as an independent company would not preclude Murdoch from concluding a later merger that would still give his network access to DirecTV's 9.5 million U.S. subscribers, the newspaper said.
Hughes shares have fallen about 18 percent since early February when details of the News Corp. deal began to emerge. The stock closed Friday at $22.90 on the New York Stock Exchange, down 2 percent.
A News Corp. spokesman said Friday that the company was still in talks with both Hughes and GM, although sources near the talks have said that Murdoch is losing patience with the grinding pace of discussions.
If talks break down, News Corp. could mount a bid for DirecTV's smaller rival, EchoStar Communications Corp.
(NasdaqNM:DISH - news), or float his Sky Global satellite holdings without a U.S. component.
Hughes is a tracking stock of GM, meaning that public shareholders benefit from the company's financial results but lack voting rights.

Dish Network backs away from Gay TV
by Eric Erickson
Thursday, 25 January 2001
A partnership between a fledgling gay television operation and the company supposed to transmit its signal to millions of subscribers has fallen apart, leaving the launch of Gay Television Network in doubt.
GTN wants to provide movies like 'It's in the Water'-along with other gay programming-despite the apparent pullout of corporate partner that was to beam the network to gays across the country.
It was a novel, even unheard of concept: Gay television programming around the clock. For years, gay men and lesbians around the country have waited for their Gay TV.
And it was supposed to happen later this month.
But delays have plagued Palm Springs, Calif.-based GTN, which initially said it would launch last November. That was delayed to Jan. 23, then again to early February.
In promoting itself, GTN said it would run gay movies, gay religious services, a gay spin-off of "Good Morning America," even a gay cooking show featuring drag chef Betty Delicious. All gay, all the time-at least first on the weekend, and slowly expanding from a 12-hour broadcast day.
And GTN touted a partnership with Dish Satellite Network, which would help GTN tap into Dish's 5 million digital satellite subscribers.
But this week, Dish said that partnership was premature; GTN said Dish is suffering from "homophobia."
Related Issues
For an overview of this issue see:
Television
"Dish got a case of homophobia," said Frank Olson, president of GTN and it's parent company, Co-Media.
Olson said Dish Network spent four months in Palm Springs, installing fiber optics equipment that would send the signal to gay homes across the country. Some 50,000 people have inquired about GTN, Olson said.
But when GTN issued a press release touting the Dish partnership, the alliance unraveled, Olson said.
EchoStar, the parent company of Dish, said the company had talked with GTN in the past, but that talk of a partnership was premature.
"The press release they put out was in error. We do not have a contract with the Gay Television Network," said Judianne Atencio, EchoStar's communications director. "I have nothing to say about GTN."
But in a Nov. 28 letter to GTN from Mark Jackson, an EchoStar vice president, Jackson writes that "EchoStar looks forward to a long and mutually beneficial business relationship with Co-Media"-one that will last long past the initial terms of a one-year agreement.
A representative in Jackson's office would not comment about GTN and referred comments to Atencio, who did not respond to further questions.
Olson said GTN stands behind a contract it has with Dish.
"I believe we do have a contract. We don't have this whole office full of Dish paraphernalia for nothing," Olson said. "We didn't give out 10,000 Dish bumper stickers at the last Pride festival for nothing. I didn't get it out of the fruit stand. We have an agreement and we expect them to fulfill it."
Despite the recent troubles, Olson said Dish has been easy to work with.
"They've been angels. We believe Dish Network is going to come through and honor their commitments," he said. "We're proud and we're proud of Dish company. We expect them to come through so we can be proud of them again."

Olson's said GTN can still make good on its dream of the all gay, all the time TV network.
"I thought it was the greatest thing. We can sit and watch sitcoms that weren't made for a cross-over audience. They were made for us," he said.
QBID/CMDA UPDATE #2
This is starting to appear as one MAJOR media exposure.
SOURCE = http://www.wearegaytv.com/news.htm
Dear Publishers,
As a result of recent controversy surrounding the distribution of Gay Television Network on Dish Network, we felt we owed you an explanation.
We are sending you evidence of the existing agreement we have with Echostar Communications Corporation (Dish) so you can pass this information on to your readers. We are also sending you a copy of a letter we sent to Dish this morning.
Co-Media, Inc. and Triangle Multi-Media have invested approximately $7 million in money and commitments as of this date to develop GTN. This was done based on commitments from Dish Network. Lacking any other reasonable explanation, it would now appear that Dish has developed a slight case of homophobia.
The contract with Echostar (Dish) represents a $4 million plus revenue stream for them. Echostar (Dish) was selected because of its professional business practices and locking capabilities, which provide easy access to the gay community without intruding into the living rooms of anyone who does not wish us to be there.
GTN intends to broadcast February 2nd. It is our sincere desire that Dish Network honor its commitment and broadcasts GTN. With the present delay, this might not be possible on February 2nd, but there is no reason we cannot go on the air in the first two weeks of February.
We want to thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Frank Olsen
Michael Schwimmer
Vice President of Programming
EchoStar Communications Corporation
90 Inverness Circle East
Englewood, CO 80112
Dear Mr. Schwimmer,
As you know, recent statements by your company have caused us irreparable harm, both with our customer base and our programming providers. Since we have a valid agreement with you to go on the air and to sell your dishes to the gay community, we are extremely perplexed as to the position apparently taken by “your public spokesman.”
The purpose of this communication is to advise you that we are proceeding to honor our commitment to go on the air on February 2nd via your satellite network. Accordingly, we request that you immediately notify us that you intend to fulfill your written and verbal commitments.
We are available to meet with you in any location of your choosing within the next two working days.
Very truly yours,
Marvin Jenkins
Gay TV Refutes Dish Deal Denial
Jan 25, 2001 — Is there a battle brewing between the Dish Satellite Network and the fledgling Gay Television Network? EchoStar, Dish's parent company, denied late last week that it had any plans to launch the gay-themed cable network, which is owned by Palm Springs, CA-based Co-Media. A source close to the deal, however, tells Gist that GTN has a signed distribution contract with Dish and that the network plans to launch as scheduled. The source accused Dish of "damaging [GTN's] credibility."
GTN last week issued a press release saying it would begin service as a premium Dish channel on Feb. 2 with news and entertainment geared specifically toward the gay and lesbian market. —Steve Noveck, Gist TV Staff

To Our 50,000+ Inquirers and Pre-Launch Subscribers:
We apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience. No money has been or will be taken from your orders until we actually go on the air and we "Will Launch" The Gay Television Network. We want to thank you for your ongoing support because without it this wouldn't be possible.

January 16, 2001
PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Jan 16, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Marvin Jenkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Co-Media, Inc. (OTC: CMDA) announced today that the company will launch its Gay Television Network (GTN), to be aired on Dish Satellite Network, beginning February 2, 2001. Co-Media has been specializing in target programming for a number of years. "This project has been eight years in the making," said Jenkins. "We have finally overcome the obstacles of distribution, availability of programming and acceptance in the advertising community."
Gay Television Network is available only through the Dish Network, the digital satellite subscriber system, as a Premium Channel choice. Sign up for their Basic Package, which includes 150 channels of TV and audio programming, and for an extra charge of $19.95 the subscriber will receive GTN and, as a bonus, a gay Internet radio channel. If one signs up now, one gets the 18-inch satellite dish and installation free.
"In the beginning programming will be 7 days a week, 12 hours weekdays and 24 hours per day on weekends," explained Jenkins. "Programming will include news, information and entertainment especially for the gay and lesbian community. We will eventually have original programming, such as "Gay Dating Game," "Gay Court," "Gay Bandstand," and 40 new movies each month. We will be covering events such as Gay Olympics, Gay Rodeos, Gay Conferences and Gay Prides all over the nation, as well as the activities surrounding the Nabisco (Dinah Shore) Golf Tournament."
The initial film schedule includes "Claire de Lune," "Red Rain," "Defying Gravity," "Latin Boys Go to Hell," "Twisted," "All the Rage," "It's in the Water," "A Boy Named Sue," "Caravaggio," and "Edward II."
Produced programs planned include a morning talk show, "Good Morning, Gay America;" "Gay Archives," a one hour program which traces gay life in New York and Los Angeles in the early days of the '70s and '80s; "Gay Pride, Palm Springs;" music video shows; "Gay Across the Globe," an hour special that documents international gay happenings; "Mardi Gras 2000," a documentary on the hot celebrations down under from Sydney, Australia; and religious services broadcast live from Fort Lauderdale's Sunshine Cathedral and Dallas' Cathedral of Hope.
In the near future we will be adding a cooking show hosted by transvestite Betty Delicious, as well as a gay history program. Also planned is a Girls' Night, featuring lesbian-themed films, and a Boys' Night.
Gay producers and gay writers have been producing programs for years. Co-Media, Inc., GTN, combined with the Dish Network, provides an ideal distribution system for the entire GLBT community.
Through trade ads in the gay press, their subscriber base is projected at 10,000 during the first few months; it currently stands at about 2,000. Naturally the Dish Network's subscriber base of 5 million is a rich resource for new viewers.
The demand for niche television programming by the advertising community has become very evident by the recent purchase of BET (Black Entertainment Television) for $200,000,000 plus by Viacom, as well as the entrance of non- traditional television producers such as Microsoft teaming with NBC to form MSNBC. Other networks are also in demand as noted by the increase in advertising dollars spent for advertising time.
"The company will now devote its time to the execution of its business plan and continue seeking acquisitions, to create and enhance shareholder value," Marvin Jenkins stated. The company's audited financial statements have been completed and plans to file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, its Form 10 by the middle of February 2001 to become a 12G Company. Co-Media, Inc. is a vertically integrated entertainment company that includes radio, television programming/production for network syndication, Internet and real estate holdings. GTN's projected gross revenues for the next five years exceed $250 million. For additional information please visit our website at: www.wearegaytv.com.
