In development for more than two years, Outlet failed to launch in 2002 because MTV had brought in sister network Showtime to market it as a pay channel.


When that strategy didn't pass muster with cable operators, Showtime bowed out of the picture and MTV repositioned Outlet as an ad-supported, digital, basic cable network.



MTV spent two years trying to sell this to cable operators as a pay channel. THEY FAILED. Why would QBID be able to make it work?

THAT statment alone raises every red flag I can imagine. Just my very humble opinion, of course.

I'm finding it hard to justify believing in QBID's validity at this point now.
