There will be a period of confusion. and then, a period of JOY!! I'm up for it!!
Well said, Birdie! Birdie's rule!!
Bnjmn,
The show schedule is on the company website: http://www.wglmilliondollarshootout.com/airingschedule.html
I have watched the entire program on DirectTV Satellite here in Southern California. Comcast here didn't pick up the show, but it did in many regions.
You have missed most of the showings, but still time to catch the exciting end, and that it is!! Very exciting! We had guests over when we were watching the last show (which we forced them to watch because we could NOT miss it), and they loved it! They all commented on the music. The music helps build up the suspense. Very well done show!
And, for those who think this is a quick flip, you should pay attention to the longs here. We know the buyback is the first step and that patience is required.
GLTA
That's great news, and I can see that the ratings would increase because we have been watching the New England showings on satellite here in Southern California, so they are ahead of the New York showings, and we absolutely are looking forward to the last show which is tomorrow. Last week's show was amazing and very exciting!
I haven't even been watching the stocks this week because of our fires and evacuated relatives. Everyone is OK, and their homes are too! We are missing one car that got left in haste.
Thanks for posting the news!!
Imcat!
Glad you are feeling better, and glad NSHV is too!! I got your private message, but I let my premium membership expire, so I can't respond. Good luck golfing!! I've been doing a lot of that! Got so bored with my stocks, I haven't even been watching. Guess I better start paying attention again!
Nice to see NSHV moving up!
Happy trading!
OT to Chadman
Hey you! I found a great site for poker instruction! This dude has it nailed: http://performpoker.com/BOOK.php?ContentID=0&StyleID=0
That's great, Bondmat! We have a winner here! It will take time, of course, but I've got plenty of that!! GLTU
That was great news!! I missed it on Tuesday because I was golfing, Wed, playing poker and watching the MDSO in the early afternoon on Satellite. Actually, my man is very addicted to the show and will NOT miss one episode. He isn't a shareholder!! So, I can see how the ratings are doing well with the general public! Nice to know the sponsors are getting good responses as well! Happy trading today and good luck to all!
Kirschholz,
I agree with you about the team shirts! That was one of my suggestions here on the board a couple weeks ago, and I think there are a lot of areas that could be improved. I am making a list to send to Mike when the show completes its airing.
Still, it IS airing on Cable! Would you prefer that we slipped back to the old days when we didn't even have a product?
And you seem to have a way of predicting the future... How exactly do you know, and state with such certainty, that this version will never be shown on national TV. Comcast owns the golf channel! Did you forget that? Our first move toward a major network would be to be shown nationally on the Golf Channel! I have my fingers crossed!!
Third rate product? Hmmm I have a great suggestion!! Perhaps YOU should buy a few more million shares so they would have the funds to be able to do a better job! Cool, huh? Get right on that!!
Have a great trading day everybody! GLTA!
I watched the 4th episode last night! It is getting exciting! Can't wait till the next one! There were some elimination surprises, and they are now down to the last 2 teams! I am watching the NE showing on Satellite here in Southern California because Comcast isn't showing it here in this area.
I am not sure why doctorS would call this a scam, but I would call him a basher! And I just put them ALL on ignore!
Looking forward to our revenue news! Let the ratings rise!!
GLTA and have a great trading week!
Of all the commercials on the show, that exfuse+7 one needs some serious editing. The dude talking sounds like he is trying to talk like our governor (Arnold), but makes a mess of it. That "um, um, um" part drives me nuts. AND if it is a health drink, they have made it look like a sexy alcoholic drink. Also, they compare it to Noni Juice, and Noni tastes terrible! I have a friend who swears by that, and she is sick all the time!! Oh well, just my two cents. Nice to know that Mike has healthy values!!
I have a man who flips to sports during commercials, so I don't have to endure them too much!
I am looking forward to Episode 4 Sunday night. So far I've watched them all, and it is getting more exciting! GLTA and keep watching!
Birdie, Mike has been very consistent in saying that they will BUY back shares with revenue! No RS is needed! I am not sure why you consistently harp on that issue! There will be no RS per Mr. Pagnano!
What is needed here is a little patience! If you listened to the interview, he has addressed these issues, AND was very clear that revenue will be based on ratings, and if they come in as expected, he will start a share buy back. Many of us here have waited a long time for this airing, and we are very excited in the future of WGLT!
GLTA!
I am wondering if Satellite viewers count. The comcast regions don't cover Southern California, and I have to watch on DirectTV. I am watching the east coast SNY station. I sure hope satellite viewers count! We should get all our friends and families to watch to help with that 5%!
Be sure you listen to Mike Pagnano's Interview at http://www.wallst.net/audio/audio.asp?ticker=WGLT&id=3905
My take:
I like his voice. He is very accurate an informative about the current show.
Speaking about Total Sports Asia airing in January of 08. Comcast deal is a barter deal. Add inventory is the revenue there. TVI in NY will place the sponsors into the spots. Approx $700K in revenue is what they expect.
Comcast does OWN the Golf Channel! Advertising rates will increase substantially. It's a ratings game, so it will all depend on ratings. We do have several prime time slots. Hoping for future national airings.
He is talking about share structure. They want to pay the convertible venture off in cash and retire it. Then as revenue permits they will buy shares back. Roll back the float, etc. He doesn't expect a move in price until revenue pours in so that they can reduce the float.
He didn't say much about future projects, but all in all, I gave the interview 5 stars! I am one of the few here that has patience on this company! I figure in a decade or so, I'll be very happy I stayed with WGLT! GLTU!
Chadman OT FYI about Poker. My apologies to the board. I dropped my premium membership and can't send Chadman a private message. This is Off Topic!
I forgot to tell you that both poker stars and full tilt have freerolls. These are no buy-in poker tournaments that give cash to winners, with the pool being $100 to $200 per tournament. There is usually a cut line. Like 133-145th place get .30 and on down to first place which usually gets around $45.00. They also give prizes like poker trips and stuff. So you don't need much cash to play.
Poker stars does have ring games (6-9 players) with the buy-in at $3.00, and the blinds .01/.02. You don't win much, but they are very cheap to play. Full Tilt's cheapest rings require about $4.00 to join and the blinds are .05/.10.
You will get a ton of info if you join for free, railbirds.com. Be sure to tell them that DesertBreeze referred you! They have exclusive Password Protected freeroll cash prize tournaments daily at Full Tilt and Poker Stars. GLTU
Chadman, FYI OT
I dropped my premium membership at IHUB, so I can't send you a private message, but both Full Tilt and Poker Stars allow US players. I fund my account at Full Tilt through my ATM. Works fine. VISA. Poker Stars, I use epassporte.com
Good luck!!
I, as should all of you, fully intend to communicate my suggestions for improving the show to Mr. Pagnano, but my man (the logical side of our family) has convinced me to wait till we see all the episodes before sending any suggestions to him.
I am very excited, and hope he addresses it today in the interview, about the Golf Poker Invitational! I "Invest" in small companies I believe have potential. I "golf" because it's so much fun and good exercise in beautiful places. I do my gambling (not on stocks) in online poker! I LOVE POKER and GOLF!! I am a seasoned Full Tilt and Poker Stars player, and I play for cash. I enter tournaments all the time, and that one tempts me! When they get it going, I'll be trying out for it!
Looking forward to the interview, and the rest of this season's episodes! GLTA!
Thanks for posting that link! I know there are a lot of projects in the works in addition to the Million Dollar Shootout! It will be interesting to see what we have ahead of us! GLTA!
OK gang, I watched Episode 2 last night. You were all wondering about the sponsors. There were too many commercials, but I was watching SNY, East Coast on Satellite, so probably the station puts in their two cents.
Here is what I wrote down for you:
Bosley.com (hair growth stuff)
Exfuse+7 incredibledrink.com (seems like some health drink)
Bowflex
QRay TryQRay.com
MusicDrivesUs.com
Toyota
Additionally, since my man and I are golfers, we would have preferred more golf shots and less chit chat. We would have liked them to announce each team's scores as they happened instead of at the end because we forgot who was on which team, so we don't really know which team won. We also would have liked each team (there are 5) to wear a certain color. That would help us keep them straight.
Could have been the wine we were drinking, but I was getting a little bored with it all! Hope next episode is more exciting!!
That's my review! Do you have one?
I don't feel qualified to make a comment on any future r/s possibilities. I just know that many times I've bought a symbol, checked the chart and watched the fall from 4 bucks to sub penny. Why did it do that? Because that's all it's worth. split or no split. It is what it is.
NSHV, if they get their game together could be a great investment. Until then, it's dead money.
Oh, and by the way, I still have all my shares (you know I did not bet the farm), and I will no longer be able to answer your private messages. I am as of today, ending my premium membership with IHUB. I see no reason for it.
Take care!
This is very very good news! Thanks!! That cleaner is magic! I love it!!
Watched it last night on Fox Sports Net New England. Episode 1. It was great! Looking forward to watching Episode 2! I tried to look at the commercials (revenue), but my man kept flipping the remote to watch the Bears game! Grrrrrrr Anyway! He is not an investor, but he really liked it too! GLTA!
I printed out the schedule and looked up the corresponding satelite stations, so that I can watch. It's on FSN New England at 7:PM this Sunday the 16th, and also Tues the 18th! Be sure you look at the schedule in your area so you can watch!

Good luck trading today!
Thanks for posting that news! It takes patience here on the ground floor, but with all these new opportunities it's hard to see how Winning Brands Corporation can NOT be making good revenues. I hope we get revenue news next! GLTA
I have not received mine yet from Etrade.
Well, I'm OK with you posting, but I'd like to know where you get that RS foolishness! Could you elaborate? Just your opinion? Or, did your crystal ball tell you? I gotta let you know, that if you bought that thing on Ebay, it's defective!!
Chevy, once again a very well put reply! Thanks!! Always good to hear what you have to say!
Great News!! I love it! Thanks for posting! One of these days.... GLTA!!
That would be great! Where in California are these events? Any in Palm Springs? If so, I could attend that one!
Just so you know, I'm still checking the board, have all my shares, am keeping the faith, have always known that this would be a hold for a couple of years at least, and I read all your posts daily. I just don't have anything to contribute that hasn't already been said. I'm here! I have my shares! Good luck to all!!
Wow! Mike missed answering an additional question that I had asked him, and I'm sure you will all love his answer. When I responded to him this morning, I asked him to please address the question he missed in my previous email. He responded within 20 minutes!!

Dear Mike,
Although I would LOVE a DVD set of the show, I'd rather you save your money for production and whatever. I DO have Direct TV, and I will be watching! Thanks so much.
Could you please address the only other question I had?
I am looking forward to revenue news!! Hopefully that will be on the plate soon, and evidently you emailed a different poster that you would be buying back shares and there would be no R/S. Could you please confirm that?
Thanks!

As revenues permit, we will begin to buy shares back and have no plans for a RS.
Mike Pagnano
I heard back from Mike on how I can view the show since Comcast in Southern California isn't on the list. My question and his response follow:
Dear Mr. Pagnano,
We have all waited a long time for the comcast news, and my main question is how can I see it? I live in Southern California on the Tom Weiscopf course at PGA West, and I am very disappointed that comcast didnt pick it up here. How can I watch it? I waited years for this!!
His response: If you have Direct TV you can see it in FSN New England or SNY New York.
Otherwise. Provide us an address and we will mail you a DVD set of the show.
Mike Pagnano
Of course I responded that although I would love a DVD set, I'd rather him save his money for production etc, and I DO have Direct TV and I am thrilled that I can watch it on FSN New England or SNY New York! YAY!!!
Thanks. I'll try my questions again with that one! And I'll let you all know what he says. Again, thanks!
ok. which email do you use? I sent him some questions wondering why comcast won't be broadcasting in southern CA, but not sure if he got it. I sent to info@wgl...blah blah.. the one on the website.
Nice to see an active level 2 finally and nice to see some buys! May it continue through the Comcast season and beyond! GLTA!
As usual, Etraders have not. Etrade lags on this stuff!
I LOVE it!! I have added a ton more shares down here at these cheapo prices, and am looking forward to the day when we get revenue news! Good luck to all of us, and have a great trading day!
Nice to see you here! Welcome! We have a wait in front of us, but the rewards could be fabulous! GLTU and your friends and family!
Well, I still have my shares, however, I do study charts often, and many penny and subpenny stocks started out well over $10.00 per share, and then they slowly drop over a period of a year or two. I am not sure why they do, but many do. I certainly hope that MCII is not part of that mix, but it well could be. Revenue drives buyers to stocks. It will be great if they PR some nice Revenue! GLTA!
I still have 5 shares in my Etrade account. They haven't given us our shares yet.
