Q Television chairman Lloyd Fan says the gay cable channel is in the middle of restructuring and expects to resume production soon. On Wednesday, QTN shut down its Burbank, Calif., studios and sent out an e-mail terminating all its employees after it was unable to meet its payroll. But Friday afternoon, Fan told Sirius OutQ Radio that the termination message was just a "standard type of form" that gets sent out in such situations. Fan said he couldn't comment in detail because of "delicate" negotiations that are under way but that the company is "still moving forward with a restructuring" and that he expects the network to resume operations. QTN is still continuing to transmit prerecorded programming to cable systems around the country through hired master control facilities in Texas. Fan took over the company two months ago after QTN founder Frank Olsen departed in a management shakeup. (Sirius OutQ Radio)
It's really sad isn't it?
Hello all. Count me in on this run too.
What if any companies make equipment for ethanol delivery systems such as Pumps and tanks and such? Things more on the consumption and storage side.
So my guess is that We will be able to sell this week. IMO. Anyone have a better clue.
I think the R/S should take effect at open on Monday which is May 1. How appropriate...May Day. I think we will see a quick sharp drop. I will sell ASAP and finish moving on. At least I can salvage some chump change.
What a F------ joke!
OT: Jake lol...btw check out INSQ. I'm in that one heavily butBEWARE... Skunksyard has somehow found that board too.
I feel your pain jake. glty .eom.
I actually thank Fan for letting me take what little money I have left and move on. Maybe I'll buy my kids a swing set. That way everytime I watch them play on it I'll be reminded to:
STAY AWAY FROM PINKSHEETS !
There is going to be a massive sell off when this takes effect. I will be selling that is for sure I don't know if it will be in @ openening bell or sometime throughout Monday but I'm taking away valuable lessons.
Thanks Florist and good luck to you. I have read your post for a long time now. You don't post often but you definaltely post honestly.
I have moved on to other...hopefully greener pastures. Good luck to you ALL.
And like the rest of you...I am stuck holding my 16.7 million.
My roll of toilet paper may not be as large as some but it is my toilet paper nonetheless.
We all have been royally screwed. The only good thing is the smack down education I received.
They are finished with the shareholders
yes, this really sucks!
Well well well, it seems that nothing is going on here as usual. I don't know if I should be upset or not. I guess that I won't be upset today. I just want something to happen like all the rest of the hopeful people here. Give me something for my shares...jeesh.
I don't know if this has been posted but here it is:

ACTION! ALERT
Gay-friendly church ad rejected by Logo
Gay channel won’t run UCC commercial about discrimination
By ANDREW KEEGAN
Friday, April 21, 2006
A national television network targeting gay viewers is catching heat for its refusal to air a commercial promoting religious tolerance, while two other gay cable networks are airing the commercial free of charge as a public service ad.
The Viacom-owned Logo, launched in 2005 as a gay-focused cable network by MTV, joined mainstream broadcast channels like ABC, CBS and NBC in rejecting an ad by the United Church of Christ.
The 30-second “Ejector Seat” ad features several people, including a gay couple, a black woman, a Middle Eastern man and a disabled man, who are systematically ejected from their church pew when they sit down next to a conservative-looking family.
“God doesn’t reject people. Neither do we,” the commercial says.
A spokesperson for Logo confirmed that MTV’s standards and practices division deemed the UCC “ejector” ad as disparaging to other religions and not acceptable to run on Logo or any other Viacom-owned network.
Two other cable channels geared toward gays, Q Television and here!TV, are airing the UCC ad free of charge. But Logo spokesperson Steven Fisher said not all gay networks operate the same way.
“We’re an ad-supported network unlike a pay channel,” Fisher said. “We have certain rules for advertising.”
A number of other ad-supported networks, including CNN, TBS and TNT, accepted the commercial.
THE UCC, A progressive Protestant denomination with 1.3 million members, launched its inclusiveness and diversity campaign in 2004. One of the first ads featured two bouncers blocking “non-traditional” churchgoers from entering a place of worship. That ad was also refused by mainstream networks.
Logo did accept the UCC ad in 2004, according to Fisher.
Anticipating a backlash from its gay customers for rejecting the latest ad, Logo prepared an e-mail response supporting its position.
“Since the channel’s launch last year we have covered issues of religion and our community with films like ‘Angels In America’ and ‘Latter Days,’ and through documentaries as diverse as ‘Trembling Before G-d,’ ‘Saints & Sinners,’ and ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye.’
BOTH Q TELEVISON and here!TV are airing the UCC ad because of its inclusive message, according to each company’s spokesperson.
Ron Buford, director of UCC’s Stillspeaking campaign, which produced the ad, said Logo’s decision reflects the network’s true motivation.
“I guess the idea of gay TV doesn’t really mean it’s your community network,” Buford said. “It’s just something that’s targeted at you to sell product.”
The church has launched a campaign against Logo urging the network to air the ad.
Last year the UCC “bouncer” ad was selected by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation as the year’s best.
A spokesperson for GLAAD said by rejecting the latest UCC ad, Logo may actually give the ad greater exposure.
“The main message of the UCC’s campaign is that everyone is welcome, including gay people,” said GLAAD’s Rashad Robinson. “That important message is traveling in a lot of different forms; some networks are airing the spot, others have chosen to reject it, which itself has become the story.”
what are you talking about?

see channel 435 in writing finally.
If they do a R/S I am selling the very moment I see it.
It doesn't work that way
looks like this is going to be a long couple of months until the games. I hope they would formally update the numbers....MAKE IT REAL!
open mouth...insert foot...again.
so, are we in a complete holding pattern? I like the way Mr. Fan has communicated so far BUT I think he needs to not let up...in fact I would argue that he needs to step it up even more. KEEP communication lines open. Has anyone received email replies to any questions sent to QTN?
Then maybe someone can buy in the fifth decimal such as .00005 but I can't think of any common that would buy at any price. What good would a few million more shares do me. If I can't do it with 16.7 million shares...I don't want to do it...lol.
Yeah but did you get this part: "...Please realize that anonymous or unnamed sources generally have an agenda. I knew that when I quoted that person about QTN, but I put it in anyway because I have an agenda too. (And the source isn't anonymous to me.)

(third paragraph of STERN UND DRANG portion of article)
rickhan: very nicely put! eom.
They next majot announcement I want to hear is that QTN has paid all of the unpaid employees!
Yes, but you are forgetting one thing. According to Mr. Fan, the float is not increasing. And more importantly, don't take him at his word....Look at the volume since he has taken over.
I think that if Fan intended on getting rid of the common, he would have done so already. There is definately some sort of fix it plan in place. All we have to do is listen to what he is saying and look at what they are doing.
best post you ever had. Just stay away from predictions and you will be alright.
what did zeus get banned for?
How can there be a sell off when...YOU CAN'T SELL!
"WIth the PR stating the O/S and the Float I wonder if there will be a mad rush to sell Monday."
OHHHHH. that makes so much sense. Thanks grtcli.
