Called TTN QBID today and talked with Elaine. Elaine is upfront that most of the knowledge is with the higher levels than her but she did say something that made sense to me. I asked her why TTN went out and publicized it was ready to the Denver community when it wasn't and she said they were thrown for a loop when the AT&T Comcast deal was announced. She said TTN was put aside for this. I believe this because it was announced in December? She also mentioned not to worry they are going to launch it's just going to take a little while longer. She said they are in talks with other companies also. I asked her about the MTV, etc. coming so soon and she said immediately "They can't touch us". "We have too much gay material with gaybandstand, etc". She said they are in several studios developing these programs and I perceived she was very confident in TTN content.
Bottom line:
a) she said they are in negotiations with other companies and it's only going to be a matter of time, not too much longer as she put it
b) the big ones MTV, etc can't touch them because they have too much gay programming.

comment:
You know we are back a little on this but I'm not sure that we don't have a very interesting direction to look at now. Is it possible that maybe MTV and Showtime, etc may want to take TTN content to include in their g/l programming?
With a cable and or dish launch along with the possibility that maybe the 'big ones' might be interested in TTN stuff could put a whole new spin on this stock....
Just some thoughts here.....also let me add this. Without the Boeing deal and the stock being almost at the 300mil (is that right Willy?) I think we would be at a loss for funds. IMO Frank made a good decision on this one.
