The interviewer didn't do a good job...He should have asked about the missed PRs.
zeus, which is your cable provider?
What excuse will Frank give for POD failure?...I lost most of my confidence on this company over the past 3-4 months...When Oxygen dates were screwed up, it was because of miscommunication between third party vendors and we all hoped the POD will happen on time...But history repeats again...I am still invested in Q but dont think this stock is going anywhere because of false promises...If QBID gets to 1 cent, its like winning a lottery..I am holding to this stock just like the lottery I took last week.
Looking at the new "Q On The Move" webpage, they still keep the POD press release under news section...This is the last drop of hope that tells me Q is on target.

I think today's PR is to deviate investors attention off from POD...As of now POD is highly unlikely by 1st of June, yet investors will be satisfied if possession of new production studio is done...In my opinion this deal is already done.
Todays PR..
"With the revenue currently being generated from the studio, this turn key operation, equipped with the latest technologies, including fiber to send and receive our signal, will cut our production costs by 70%,"
When Q signed the Letter of Intent with PrideVision, Frank said almost the same thing. Production costs will be reduced by shared programming.
If we sign a couple of more contracts like these, our programming/production costs will be reduced zero...LOL
12 more days to go to see which direction are we going...Frank should make the POD thing happen to gain some confidence among investors. Sorry to say that my prediction is that this won't happen in 1st of June as stated in the PR.
Anyone expect a r/s in the near future?
I watched this intv over and again and I derive two possibilites. Frank clearly mentioned that if we are going to get a carrier, Q need to do advertisements for them. I think that's what exactly happening now. In the best case scenario, QTv is very close to getting DirectTv as carrier, otherwise, these informercials are just for the POD thing.
Checkin again....has anyone recorded last night infomercial so that others can download and watch it?
How can a channel such as Oxygen air different informecials on different carriers...shouldn't it be same nation-wide?...IMO, this Q informecial was not aired by Oxygen but Q might have made some special agreement with directTv to show in the midnight. They chose to show in Oxygen channel could be pure coincidental.
Can someone upload the info. clipping?
Looks like this stock is not going anywhere...What is the next major event/PR we all waiting for?
I tuned in at 1:30 this morning(Seattle/Comcast) but there was no informacial...From the feedbacks we are getting, it appears that this was aired certain selected regions only...My inference is that we may hear a major carrier news soon...Remember Frank mentioned about Time Warner cable in the intv...May be that is getting closer to a reality..:)
Anyone checking if Q infomercial on Oxygen tonight?
5000 hits per day is nothing when QBID has an investors base of around 6000...As an average investor, I go to this site 2-3 times/day...i cann't imagine how many times people like Skunks or firefight hit the site...They may have even set browser home page to www.qtelevision.com...LOL
I agree with island...The site account will give all the statistics including distinct IP address hitting the site...I am more interested in that figure.
hmmm...they can show it but cann't comment on it?...We need to check with the IR.
Guys, dont get mislead by today's PR...It just says 1.5 million hits per month but doesn't say how many distinct users. My guess is that the user count is only around 5000.
I just read some posts related to infomercials on Oxygen.
So,
a). Did they resolve legal issues?...Why Q is not commenting about it.
b). Are they planning to run informacial daily from now onwards?. If so, what time?
This is a mediocre PR and will hurt PPS...I dont understand why Q is sending these kind of PRs with no substance.
In the CBS intv, when asked about carriers, Frank mentioned about talks with Time Warner but refused to talk about any other carriers...Does this imply that a deal with them is almost done?...Just a thought-:)

Smoke, I think the POD deal is part of the 123 stations Frank promised. If they start airing from June 1st, I am half satisfied with Q.
Skunks, Is HTVNQ still operational?. As I understand they are coming out of BK but do you think they will do better this time?. Also, this stock has low OS(<200M)
Has anyone looked into Hispanic Television channel(symbol:HTVNQ.PK)?. They are coming out of bankruptcy.
We should thank Oxygen for suing QTelevision over a petty thing. This is going to be an excellent publicity for Q...!
How is the POD thing coming along??
What does the term "Tick" means in stocks context and how it is determined?
If this suing thing is fake, we should report to the IR firm...They are agressively chasing guys who spread false infomation.
I never get a reply from the IR guy(Rich)...Has anyone ever got his reply?.
I dont think that's the case...If they really wanted to bring the PPS down, they could do it in many ways such as issue a PR like "...Management is planning to do a reverse split..." and later deny it...The truth is this company is really struggling in its efforts to get new deals....I believe that bigger carriers don't have enough confidence in Q...Companies like this may take much much longer time for carriers to even consider...Here! got major carriers very recently though they started airing 4-5 years ago...Carriers picked LOGO just because of the MTV label...Definitely Q needs much longer time(may be upto 3-4 years)..Patience!.
I dont understand when they say Q is complying with potential carriers demand...Infomercial will only help to popularize this channel which will bring more business when they actually carry Q at a later time...In my opinion, potential carriers should support this move.
In many ways Oxygen deal is unnecessary for QTelevision...If the POD is really going to happen in June, paying for infomercial is just waste...I blame QTelevision for issuing a PR such as this and later giving stupid excuses.
If QTelevision really wanted to get infomercials aired, it's not at all a difficult thing...Imagine how many junk infomercials we watch everyday in this channel...So there must be something beyond that.
IMHO it could be one of these.
1. We may be close to new carrier deals
2. We may not have enough money to pay for these informecials
3. PrideVision or POD agreement may have influence in dropping it
May be QTelevison has signed an agreement with a major carrier on last week or so and that carrier doesn't want the Oxygen thing to happen...Also, Frank may be in a positon not to disclose about the new deal too early...If that is the case, my kudos to Frank and team..In next couple of weeks we will know if he is a genius or stupid.
Where did you find that info?..I don't see in the investor's page.
IMO, the potential by signing PrideVison agreement is huge...This way Frank can reduce the production costs by sharing content and spend time and money in getting new carriers...Immediate action required from the management.
There are so many junk channels carried by various carriers...So, how it becomes difficult to get a good carrier for QTelevision?...We have reasonably better programming content so it very unfortunate...I wonder if Here! and LOGO screwing up our attempts.
I think it's the same...otherwise how in the world can QTv meet the 150 stations target before gay games in 2006?...Anyway, next few months are going to be really interesting...It's a "do or die" for very existence.
