let's think about it. If MTV does content comparable to Queer Eye, and talk shows and game shows, etc..They'll win. They can even get away 'r' rated gay movies, I would guess.
for $2 a month..what will QBID offer that's more than that?
Think about MTV's demographic as well. Lots of hip, young gays watch as it is. MTV isn't afraid of being confrontaional or controversial in their programming. They always give appropriate disclaimers about content.
Ask yourself a simple question: If YOU were a cable operator, who would you listen to first in regards to a ground-breaking TV station...MTV execs, or Frank Olsen?
