Couple questions about Carol Hinnant.
1. Is she a member of the GLBT community
2. Is she probably the backbone of QTN currently
3. Would anyone object to her being the new CEO of QTN, or raise any questions to her having the ability to handle the full duties?
yes i did thank you very much sputnik. All i was commenting on was that in that lawsuit it said something along the lines of Frank giving shares to Firestone the day of each PR announcement of carriage. So i was saying that maybe once their relationship went sour, Frank contineued to give them the shares during each launch (san diego, houston, etc.) but gave PR's AH so that they couldnt dump enough.
it was just a comment sput
i think he also went by Ray Olsen at one point
I still wonder why Frankie boy is releasing big carriage announcements at the worst times. (AH at around 6:00)
Im thinking it may have to do with the shares given to Firestone for each carriage contract and since their relationship have gone sour Frank has said sc*ew them and makin it hard for them to sell their shares.
Who really knows though, but it the timelines do seem to matchup, as they didnt use to PR carriage announcements AH
hold one how many lawsuits does this bishop have against Frank. Or you mean you know of way more than the 100 we already saw today?
Lets get it all out now!!LMAO. Heck, weve already seen 100 lawsuits against Frank, whats one more!!!AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Quick post about the Firestone lawsuit.
Dont really know how to word it, but it seems that most of the lawsuit is about Firestone getting paid for work they have not done yet. So wouldnt it be correct in saying that 1 of the worse case scenarios is Frank having to use Firestone to do those 4 shows they have contracts signed for? I mean how bad were they really Frank, just allow them to produce those 4 shows and thats a major portion of the lawsuit.
Anybody else think that this could all be done away with if Frank would just allow Firestone to produce the shows
I wonder how many lawsuits are against Rene Schnekek or Alan Alldrigre. Anybody with a better experience in finding these cases care to give it a try?
Shoot, maybe i can look up a couple of buddies of mine, see if they havent been telling me something!LMAO

Have you spoken with TW Houston yet and been able to subscribe?
This company is to big now. Hinnant, Rassenburg, Withers, need to speak to Frank and get him to step down. Keep him on as executive producer, but this is not no 1 man show anymore. I have been behind Frank for many months now, but i agree with the majority, Frank has got to step down NOW.
i believe this is what Frank was talking about regarding recapitialzation.
Financing technique used by companies to defend against hostile takeovers. The company borrows against undervalued assets. In most cases the company borrows the money and pays shareholders a large cash dividend and exchanges the old stock with the “new” company’s stock. The “new” leveraged company can provide a high return on equity for shareholders if it does not choke on the high debt burden.

Honestly, after reading that, some good things and bad things were said...
I will wait and see how it turns out but do read QTN's coutner claims. Pretty ridicolous if Firestone is intentionally disturbing the signal. Sounds like something a 10 year old kid would do.
I just hope that QTN buys out these friggen guys, buy a studio in NYC and be done with there friggen past.
BTW, and only IMO, it always seemed like to me that Firestone was being kept alive by QTN and now that QTN is leaving them they are crying for more.
Although, we dont know even half of the facts so i will stay out of it.
anyone else having trouble opening it?
skunks....
so it was annoucned last night that the co host (joe) on q live is going to be getting his own show now?
1. any idea when
2. any idea what kind
3. how often
And Robbie Laughin is going to be the new co host on Qlive? has he ever been on QTN and is he any good?
Doing a quick google, it seems like he has experience in TV.
5. when do you expect all the new shows to rollout and can they all be taped at the burbank studios?
anything else new on QTN that has been said on the show. tia
Anybody know a site that will give you the entire trading log for the day on QBID. thanks
Q on Houston lineup. Channel 537
http://www.timewarnercable.com/CustomerService/CLU/TWCCLUs.ashx?menu=Programming
this is one of the best and most logical posts i have seen on any QBID board if you are correct in your thinking.
What would it take to "secure" our security? What exactly has to be done? tia
Thanks Bishop, i truely do appreciate your insight into this issue.
You seem to know him to a T.
From what it seems, Frank is not "trying" to screw the shareholders, but because he is a dreamer and will not delegate he is hurting the shareholders.
I really think it would be in Q's best interest for Frank to maybe keep the CEO job, but to begin to delegate responsiblities to others. #1 get a CFO who will keep the Network's costs in line. (it seems like Frank has a spending problem. Some have said he drives around town in a lincoln continential with a choffeur.)
#2 have an investor relations individual who is not outsourced and who is in direct contact with upper management and has the ability to accomplish things for shareholders. Richard as everyone knows is just a puppet.
I want somebody in upper mangegment who is FOR the shareholders. Who are always thinking how will this affect the shareholders. And this somebody can make sure Frank doesnt promise anything he cant do. For the life of me i dont understand why they have Frank basically writing the PR's
There is just NO concern for shareholders period at this point. To hire somebody and put them intouch with upper managment would be bigger than anything at this point i believe.
Who else agrees with me about this, or what are your comments.
And Bishop, is there anyway you could get in touch with Frank and speak to him about this issue. The network is great and all, and its bad to see all these problems with the investment because its all INTERNAL, not EXTERNAL.
Thanks bishop, for your time
Hey Bishop. I would like to know about Frank Olsen's personal character.
Many of us here are seriously down quite a bit of money (anywhere from 5K-30K). Do you personally think that Frank Olsen would be scamming us, is he intelligent enough to run the company at this point, etc.
I would just like to finally talk to somebody who is unbiased on Frank Olsen's character and who knows him personally.
Do you know anything about our current pps and the company itself? What do you think has happened.
thanks for all your opinions, i truely appreicate your side of the story and your insight.
And if some questions you would rather not comment on because of an impending lawsuit than i completely understand
hey junk, this is an issue that needs to be addressed more i believe. I think its very important to compare the recent sales of individual channels to major corporations.
1. that College Sport Channel selling for 300M is a little scary. But that website is the "about us" section and what it sounds like to me is a well written PR guy. They use the term subscribers loosely and i think that CSC is a package channel because i also have it on Directv and have never subscribed.
2. I wonder how many subsribers that HBO has in USA. That would be a good number to at least compare with. I know QTN would be nowhere near that, but i think HBO would be the ultimate in subsribers.
3. It would also be intersting to find out recent buyouts by Time Warner Cable or other Corporations. Is TWC really buying independant stations or is it just corporations like Viacom?
thanks for all your neutral information on this issue, as i belive it is something that needs to be exaimed closer
From allstocks this is Imakemoney. (also the guy who has sent the certified letter to QTN demanding to view the books in 5 days.)
He also has subscribed to QTN via San Diego and here are his posts tonight regarding the programming.
------------------------
(he is talking about Jack e jett show)
No SAM1959, I must agree its just kinda dumb and his jokes well they stink, now im not gay but this isnt looking good, i know i wont be keeping qtv, give me the playboy chal anyday, maybe it will get better but now that people can see it that might be why the pps keeps falling.
Never ment it in a bad way the being gay thing, but i hear you, and thats it the programing stinks
From allstocks, this is SAM, a member who has subscribed to QTN via San Diego. Here are his posts about the programming for the night. I have to say it is good to see something different becuase we now have skunks, doublek, imakmoney (allstocks) SAM(allstocks) and if i am correct 2 Ragingbull posters have QTN. Plus Thunder on here is going to be subscribing in Houston.
--------------------------
Keep in mind that I don’t normally watch QTN closely as I have to do other things and don’t want to bother my family by having it on all the time—so my answers are not exact.
1. The number of commercial breaks per hour varies greatly. During their live programming, there are not very many at all, but during the shows that they are probably getting from other sources like the fight show, there are about two commercials every 15 minutes. I get the feeling that those commercials come with the show and may not be making any money for QTN.
2. They transition from show to show like any other station would. They have public service announcements and advertisements for their shows like On Q Live, Jack E Jett, and Q on the Move. They also have short station identification bits where they show a couple of girls kissing and the big gold Q logo and a statement saying you are watching Q Television Network (or something close to that).
3. I did not see any problems with the picture last night; there is a good chance that problem is fixed. The sound problems I noted earlier were only with specific programs and in my opinion (I’m a technical type) the sound problems were production problems, not anything associated with Cox; I suspect that those problems will still be present in some of their shows. The sound on their main live shows done in the studio was fine. I suspect the problems could have been associated with filming on location.
4. I have seen parts of On Topic, On Q Live, Q on the Move, QTN World News, Odysseys & Ovations (sound out of sync), and the Concrete Jungle.
Hope this helps…

I watched that show last night and I sure don’t agree with doublek’s assessment of Jack E Jett. He is way too liberal and way to obnoxious for me!
That just goes to show you, my assessment of the programming may not be that great; I am very critical (have very high standards—ok, I’m a real butthole sometimes) and I am also pretty conservative in my thinking. Jack E Jett is so far to the left, he’s about to fall off the scale and most of what he said was just plain stupid.
This is only my opinion, and I’m sure that lots of people like him… But I don’t.
--------------------
Sam
Allstocks has 1 poster (imakmony) who has subscribed in San Diego and is now beginning to post on the network. He is a reliable poster. Here is some of his posts thusfar.
---------------------------------------
Q-LIVE its good they have these dancers that bring the guest out, then dance going in and out of comercels, they seem to give all the guest drinks, its funny. MT i just havnt seen a nof yet to be fair. im prety dam happy so far. the picture is a bit jumpie all the rest of my tvs and chanels are fine so its them. i will keep it coming.
ITS real no black and white, when i said gay i mean for gay people its not afencive, its good i wish i was buying right now at .0004 but will see its just great to see that its for real.
WIFE WONT LET THE KIDS WATCH.
IF I WAS GAY THIS MIGHT NOT BE TO BAD.
WOW ITS GAY
skunks.......
Can you post...
1. Word on new shows coming from Q or when you expect them to release them and how many more
2. Any new hosts coming to Q

Thanks
Social helix, are you going to be able to subscribe?
Or is anyone else on ihub, allstocks, or ragingbull now going to be able to give us an update?
we had double K but he was abducted, and who knows what happenened to the guy in birmingham LMAO
Regarding the ownership of QTN through QBID shareholders from the CC.
Now, i know i know, Frank has a very good tendency to lie or mislead, but there was no safe harbor statement here, and Frank says it striaght up that the QBID shareholders own 100% and its solely owned.
I do wonder though why they are taking time in clarifying the rumors that it is not, if they have nothing to hide. But heres the CC part where he talks about it......
--------------------------------------------------
Can you tell us what percent ownership the common holders of QBID have in QTN? What percent do the preferred holders have? And the private investors.
I’m going to say right up front as you know my stock is preferred. Ok? I own 53% of the company. But the company is a solely owned subsidiary of Q television network. And as far as I’m concerned. I can’t do anything with my stock. I can’t sell it. I can’t do anything. And basically what it comes down to if QTN is sold its sold by us together and we’re all going to reap the rewards together the only thing we have to do is pay the debt service and the only thing difference between you and me is as a preferred shareholder I’ve had to sign personally on the debts and you haven’t had to do that with the investment bankers.
Is there anyway to give a percentage breakdown?
I just told you. I own 53% of the company.
So what do the common QBID shareholders own?
MY stock is preferred so if you took the other way around you would have 47%.
Would anybody be able to post the CC audio or the transcript.
Thanks
QTN launches in San Diego tommorrow on COX Cable.
Wonder if we will get a PR tommorrow about it. We got one for Eureka.
Is FCDH a subscription driven channel?
Does there revenue come from $10 a month from subscribers or does it come from advertising? tia
i have thought about toxic financing, and i believe that could very well be what is happening.
Its not that they are currently a struggling company, but its the fact that when they started Frank desperately needed money to begin his network.
Im not saying that they have toxic financing, but what im saying is something is not right, and it very well could be the case.
What does everyone think about Toxic Financing?
Does it not make sense that, this is what has happened to Q? The reason Frank will not release the audit and the reason we continue to go down?
i dont think it really means much. :

A catch up post before the BIG post
Just wanted to let everyone know I am alive and doing well. Since I posted last I've been given two of my own columns in Frontiers Magazine. One is called Informer which is basically a list of things I think are hot and the other is called Cheap Date. I saw the Tiger Lillies , went to Wed Rock, a bunch of parties...the usual. I've also been a guest several times on The Queer Edge with Jack E. Jett on Q television For those of you who have complained you can't see it they just signed a huge deal with Time Warner and will be in LA very soon. They're pretty much everywhere else in the US, Canada and Australia already. I am so grateful to be involved in such a cool, subversive show. I've gotten to interview Jane Weidlin from the Go Go's, James St.James while standing on a guy with a trample fetish, did an episode with Judy Tenuta, my friends Kitten Natividad and Goddess Bunny as well as be part of the Halloween show with Sandra Bernhard, Ohmarosa (she was nice but when will reality TV end?) and a bunch of other beautiful freaks. Here is a photo of me at the Halloween show with the gorgeous Selene Luna and a strange primitive type gal under my skirt.

no arguing that! we always seem to get these incredible posts by writers and the like where they state Q is on all over the US etc. Just wondering if he/she does know something about the LA deal. That would be huge, but i didnt even think TWC was in LA.
zandent, millertime's post was not his opinion. If you look at the bottom of the post, it was a link. The article was from a link, not his opinion. Just wanted to clarify
COX SAN DIEGO - 399
http://www.cox.com/sandiego/docs/channellineup.pdf
Word is from a cox subscriber that we launch Dec. 7th, but here is the channel lineup updated just tonight and we are on channel 399.
can anybody post the Time/sales slip for today? Tia
Copied from the CC. "And I would not increase the stock, the
outstanding, one iota without informing the shareholders in advance, and
there would be only one reason I'd do it, and I'm going to tell you
right out in front: There is a movie series that has 307 episodes,
which I've been trying to get for ten years, and it would be just like -
it would be just like another I Love Lucy, which would bring in money
and bring in money and bring in money.
And I don't even care, I'll tell you the name of it. I'm working very
hard to get the rights to Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. And I've been
working on it for five years. And that would be the only reason that I
would make - increase the - increase in the shares, so I would have some
restricted stock, so they would go along with me to give me the soap.
That would be the only reason. And I would notify the shareholders in
advance, and I would even let them vote on it and I would abstain. But
there's 307 episodes of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman; and it has never
been - the music rights have never been cleared, and that's why you've
never seen it. And you youngsters don't know what it is, but old guys
like me know that it would be a great series to have on the shelf."
---------
not that it means anything, and i certainly dont want to get in an arguement about Franks wording, but LOL, he did say the OS not the AS in the CC so we cannot technically say he lied YET. But i will not be surprised to see him say there was a vote in about a week and it passed and were buying Mary Hartmen. LMAO.
