Gay games Confirmation for Q
http://the17thman.typepad.com/my_weblog/q_television/index.html
Open Mouth, Insult A Network, Insert Foot
Wednesday, April 12, 2006
If you are reading this post you already probably know that I write about the Gay Games and my training for them as I will be swimming this summer at them. From time to time I post news about Q Television since they are the official network of the gay games. With that said last Friday night while at a LA blogging meet and great called G:Lab I was talking to a circle of people. During the point of conversation when I started to talk about my blog I mention Q Television and how at different times I posted various news items and press releases about the network and its financial problems over the last few months. With these posts I have been linked to Investor Boards and have received e-mails from investors and other people involved with the parent holding company of Q Television some of which were not very nice. As I’m talking to a fellow blogger about this I said something not to kind about the network at that moment the General Manager/Program Director, Frank Hagan is introduced to me as well as the News Director. After I apologized and a nice and informative conversation with both of the Q executives I want to make it clear that I look forward to the coverage of the Gay Games by Q Television.
QtnWith that out of the way I came across a few new news clips regarding Q Television. The first one which may not be that new is the announcement of the television show “On the Road to Gay Games” , hosted by Saskia Weber, former US Women’s World Cup team member, will travel the world to meet and profile individual competitors and teams as they prepare for Gay Games VII
Secondly, the holding company of Q Television, Triangle Multi Media, sent out a press release today (MarketWire) to “dispel certain rumors and address specific concerns that have been expressed by the investment community.” If you care about the biz end of the network read the press release at MarketWire.
To wrap this up, after meeting with the folks at Q Television I look forward to hopefully meeting up with them again in Chicago during the Games and hope that someday soon LA becomes the next market for Q. Good Luck to the Guys and Gals at Q!
Alternative option... ???
I was wondering if this was even possible...
Is there such a thing as a "FREE" scrambled channel.
It would seem to solve alot of Q's problems...
Ultimately... You would have to call your Cable carrier and ask for the channel to unscamble it... but there is NO CHARGE to get it..
Therefore it is asked to be brought into the house..
We can keep the programming Edgey as well as have commercials..
Just a thought....

***********************
Joke for the night...
***********************
(So this bananna and vibrator are laying on this girls night stand. The Vibrator is laying their shaking and the Bananna looks at him and says "what the fuck are you so scared about. She's gonna eat me... You Big Dick!" )
Laughing at the bannana the vibrator reply's
"You know what? I know the guy she's with tonight too and he loves bannanas."
With that the bannana Screams and starts to shake and cry like a little baby.
Just then the vibrator Smiles and says,
"You know bannana,I feel sorry for you.
If you do something for me. I'll save you from being eaten."
The bannana desperate not to be eaten agrees to the deal and says, " What do you want me to do.."
The vibrator says "don't worry about it I'll tell you later."
So the bannana says "O.K. great.. What about me not getting eaten tonite?"
The vibrator says "that's easy, When she comes back in the room. She's gonna turn out the lights. When she does strip off your peel and flop around on the night stand and I'll turn myself off and hide. She'll think your me and grab you and then you can go where I go instead of being eaten."
The Bannana thinks about it for a long minute and says "I love it.. Thank you thank you Lets do it" says the bannana.
Just then the lights go out..
The bannana strips off its peel like the vibrator told it to do
and starts flopping all over the night stand.
A few moments pass and then the bannana hears the man say to the woman in the bed.
" Honey hand me that bannana on the night stand Im starving.
The bannana giggles and immediately starts flopping like it's having a seizure.
As the woman searches the night stand with one hand for the bannana in the dark.
She replies back to the man "I can't find your damn bannana.
The only thing on this night stand is my vibrator that you love so much."
Just then the Bannana hears the hiding vibrator giggle.
The man says "You know I do. Now come on over and jam that vibrator in my ass."
I'll eat Later.
Moral of the story:
1. Don't listen or play with Fake Dicks they'll always fuck you!
2. Sometimes being eaten is better than being jammed in the ass!

Gay-vs.-Muslim Soccer Set in Netherlands..
Maybe we can trade Gay games Broadcast rights for this...

By BRUCE MUTSVAIRO
Associated Press Writer
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands
A Dutch multicultural group is organizing a soccer tournament between gays and Muslims, hoping to counter what a study published on Thursday said was a rising tide of fear among gays.
A nationwide survey by the Police Research Academy said that most gays questioned feel unsafe and reported experiencing verbal attacks in the last year.
Of the 776 homosexuals who responded to an internet questionnaire, 80 percent said they believed their safety was threatened at some time during the year, said academy director Frits Vlek, who commissioned the research.
Only 3 percent said they were physically assaulted, Vlek said in an interview, but some 40 percent claimed they had been insulted or verbally abused.
Youths from Moroccan and Turkish backgrounds often were blamed for the incidents, Vlek said, since homosexuality is not widely accepted in many Muslim cultures.
"Parts of the Muslim community still resist homosexuality and receive little education about it," he said.
Muslim-gay tension is the theme of the soccer tournament organized by the Institute of Multicultural Development, to be held next week.
An organizer of the group, Suzanne Ijsselmuiden, said she hoped the competition will "help ease these tensions so that people can openly talk about homosexuality."
Gay Muslims can take their choice of teams, she said. "People can have many identities."
A Latin team along with a team of all-women players has also been assembled for the government-sponsored competition.
Any Chance FAN moves his Other companies into TMM ?
Maybe he's looking to drum up some more capital for those as well..

US and Iran Join Forces In Anti-Gay Cause
by Chuck Currie
Thu Feb 16th, 2006 at 12:22:56 PDT
At the same time the United States is having an internal debate about whether or not to bomb Iran (or take some type of military action) to stop their nuclear program the US is siding with Iran in a debate at the United Nations to "deny UN consultative status to organizations working to protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people," according to Human Rights Watch:
In a letter to Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, a coalition of 40 organizations, led by the Human Rights Campaign, Human Rights Watch, the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, called for an explanation of the vote which aligned the United States with governments that have long repressed the rights of sexual minorities.
"This vote is an aggressive assault by the U.S. government on the right of sexual minorities to be heard," said Scott Long, director of the LGBT rights program at Human Rights Watch. "It is astonishing that the Bush administration would align itself with Sudan, China, Iran and Zimbabwe in a coalition of the homophobic."
In May 2005, the International Lesbian and Gay Association, which is based in Brussels, and the Danish gay rights group Landsforeningen for Bøsser og Lesbiske (LBL) applied for consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council. Consultative status is the only official means by which non-governmental organizations (NGOs) around the world can influence and participate in discussions among member states at the United Nations. Nearly 3,000 groups enjoy this status.
States opposed to the two groups' applications moved to have them summarily dismissed, an almost unprecedented move at the UN, where organizations are ordinarily allowed to state their cases. The U.S. abstained on a vote which would have allowed the debate to continue and the groups to be heard. It then voted to reject the applications.
"The United States recklessly ignored its own reporting proving the need for international support for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese. "The State Department's `Country Reports on Human Rights Practices' show severe human rights violations based on gender identity and sexual orientation occur around the world."
As the U.S. government acknowledged in its 2004 country report on Iran, Iranian law punishes homosexual conduct between men with the death penalty. Human Rights Watch has documented four cases of arrests, flogging, or execution of gay men in Iran since 2003....
The U.S. has reversed position since 2002, when it voted to support the International Lesbian and Gay Association's request to have its status reviewed. Officials gave no explanation for the change.
The US and Iran were joined by nations such as China, the Russian Federation and Pakistan.
Was Bored Went to Q Studio Just Now @ 4pm Sunday..
It was amazing let me tell you...
Their was 3 whole cars in the parking lot... The Iron gate to Lot was closed..
Looked like any other studio on a Sunday...
NO POLICE... Sorry..
Will drive by Q studios in morning on way into work to see whats happenin'
that will be around 930am my time...
Hope it's not time to bring down Porky's Studio..
Sounds to me like "CurveTV" is a Syndication Deal...
Who gets the money..
QTN or Franklin Broadcasting
Who owns what..
Who owns syndication rights to these Q shows...
Who owns "Franklin Broadcasting" Besides FO does QTN does TMM
OK .. Went to Q STUDIO today...Just Did drive by on our beloved Q
No... Not the kind with guns.. Sorry to disappoint a few of you...
Sorry had no time stop in and say hi.. but I did drive into the parking lot and to the back of the lot to see what I could see..
I did notice one thing on my way down the row of 1/3 occupied parking spaces.
The name placards of every Q Employee of importance still up on the wall above each spot. I counted 20 names I recognized.. Can't comment on ORAM or JOE wasn't looking for specific names at that time.. Don't remember
Otherwise, it look like a studio that was Dark. Not CLOSED ... DARK..
No moving trucks were there...
Thats I'll I can tell you about the studio ..
As for how production works in this town. I will say one thing only...
Everything that we have heard about QTN in the last week regarding shutdown. Is standard operating procedure on any type of formated tv/film production run... This is textbook hollywood penny pinching... It happens everyday in this town... This is normal... Go home now... Come back next week... happens All the time here..
I work at SUNSET GOWER STUDIOS right now. And of the 15 stages on the LOT all are currently un-used i.e(DARK -No cameras)
Our parking structure is still full of cars. Why you ask... Because the actual shooting of the show is only 30% of the work that goes into a show.
So in actuallity QTN is only 30% closed..for 2 weeks..
Don't believe what you can't see for yourself...
Sorry I don't have more info, but I'm not worried so I don't need anymore... As goes the studio issue.. As for FRANKY 4 FINGERS??
And for those that doubt I was there..
See my past posts.. I live 5 miles from studio and have reported on many of their events for this board...
peace out dingo
Well im off to my 1099 job in Hollywood... Because I'm freelance like 80% of production crew out here... I only work when there is work to be done. Otherwise I home sitting on my ass waiting for the next green light...
Tv/Film productions run tight ships... There is always someone on set that is in charge of sending people home and getting them off the clock as quick as possible... I.E (EXTRAS - CAMERMAN - EDITORS - MAKE UP - And countless other positons..) that are paid hourly.
If there is no scheduled shoot.. IE (GOING DARK) Every body is off that day or week.. Most 1099 people expext it and look forward to the break. It also alows for rotation of new people to come in.. Fresh Feet..
This is great thing in my book.. GO QQQ...
Ive worked in Hollywood for 8 years in Production.. This is NORMAL operations for any type of production company..
Step #1 Send the UNION people home immediately.. They command the most money.
The fact that they choose to do it all at once with all their shows only says to me that they are doing exactly what they say they are doing...
REVAMPING... I expect A HUGH NEW LOOK for Q on FEB 13th..
Studios go black all the time... They just saved a MILLION dollars..
Also gives your talent a nice two weeks off before the big push to GAY GAMES..
REMEMBER THE 14th is VALENTINES day..
LETS HOPE FOR A BASHER MASACRE
IMO

Time Warner trades at 8.5 times estimated 2006 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, compared with multiples of 9 for Walt Disney Co. (DIS) and 10 for the new Viacom Inc. (VIA).
What will it be for Q... APPARENTLY RIGHT NOW IT IS...
NEGATIVE -100 times estimated 2006 earnings
Time Warner profit up over 20 percent on cable...
Wednesday February 1, 10:53 AM EST
By Kenneth Li
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Time Warner Inc. (TWX) on Wednesday said fourth-quarter net income rose more than 20 percent, beating Wall Street estimates, on strong growth in feature films and high-speed Internet and digital phone services.
The world's largest media company, whose shares rose nearly 3 percent, also said earnings this year should increase at a high-single-digit percentage rate, in line with analysts' expectations.
Time Warner, which owns the Warner Bros. film studio, AOL and CNN, faces a proxy battle and threats to break up the company by a group of investors led by corporate raider Carl Icahn.
Time Warner has "a strong case going into this public debate about the performance of the company and the management," said analyst Christopher Marangi of Gabelli & Co., whose affiliate owns the company's shares.
Icahn, whose investor group collectively owns about 3 percent of Time Warner stock, this week lured former Viacom and Universal Studios Chief Executive Frank Biondi to head up the dissidents' slate of director nominees.
Biondi, who once headed the HBO cable network at Time Warner, has agreed to become the company's top executive, if elected to the board.
"We will continue to consider many strategic alternatives and initiatives to achieve even higher and more sustainable increases in share value," Time Warner Chief Executive Richard Parsons told analysts in a conference call.
But he added: "We cannot and will not experiment with the flavor of the day in the mere hope that it might be work or simply because we are impatient."
Quarterly net profit increased to $1.4 billion, or 29 cents per share, from $1.13 billion, or 24 cents per share, a year earlier, beating analysts' forecasts of 21 cents, according to Reuters Estimates.
Revenue rose 7 percent to $11.9 billion.
"I thought the results were pretty good," said Thomas Eagan, vice president of Oppenheimer research. "They were (generally) in line with our expectations, with cable outperforming our estimates on all fronts."
CABLE SERVICES GAIN
Revenue at Time Warner Cable rose 13 percent, and operating income before items increased 11 percent.
The company's basic video subscriber base grew by 34,000 from the third quarter to end the year at about 11 million.
Time Warner Cable added 265,000 residential high-speed Internet subscribers and 246,000 digital phone subscribers.
Revenue at the AOL online division fell 8 percent as it lost 625,000 subscribers in the quarter, ending the quarter with 19.5 million. But adjusted operating income before items increased 5 percent on higher online advertising sales.
In December, Internet giant Google Inc. (GOOG) agreed to purchase a 5 percent stake worth $1 billion in the division and to strike a broad ranging advertising partnership. Time Warner expects the deal to close in the first quarter.
Although the company did not provide financial expectations for the division, "AOL's adjusted OIBDA (operating income before depreciation and amortization) profile is likely to drop at the beginning of 2006 and then to increase as the year progresses," Time Warner Chief Financial Officer Wayne Pace said.
AOL struck a handful of partnerships in January to bundle its service with broadband access through cable and telephone companies to try to convert existing dialup modem subscribers to high-speed customers.
Time Warner's revenue from movies rose 11 percent, and profit increased 42 percent, boosted by the box office success of the latest Harry Potter film and DVD sales of "Batman Begins" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
Time Warner's adjusted OIBDA, a closely tracked performance metric, rose 18 percent to $2.9 billion.
For 2006, it forecast further OIBDA growth in the high-single digit percentage range from $10.3 billion in 2005.
"The guidance was very much in line with consensus expectations," Pali Research analyst Richard Greenfield said. "The real question will be if (the outlook) is conservative and the company can actually achieve double-digit growth or not."
Time Warner shares rose 48 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $18.01 in morning New York Stock Exchange trading.
The stock, like much of the media sector, has suffered from looming competition from other Internet companies and decelerating DVD sales growth. Shares have trailed the S&P 500 index by 12 percent over the past year.
Time Warner trades at 8.5 times estimated 2006 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, compared with multiples of 9 for Walt Disney Co. (DIS) and 10 for the new Viacom Inc. (VIA).
