Do you remember this letter. What makes you think that this latest announcement will not go the same route as this update did. All it takes is a keystroke and poof it is gone.


LETTER FROM FRANK OLSEN, CEO OF Q TELEVISION NETWORK (http://www.qtelevision.com/news.html)

August 11, 2004

Dear Shareholders,

We just returned from a three-day retreat in Seattle. In attendance were Tim Orden, our in-house VP of Public Relations; Barbara Lamont from our Teleport company in New Orleans; Jeffrey Ory from Deveney, our PR company; Scott Seger our VP of Advertising Sales in New York and representatives from our Investor Relations department. There were also cable company reps there, as well as potential advertisers. We discussed our plans for Q Television over the next 30 days, 90 days and 120 days.

RCN told us today they have been "inundated" with calls requesting Q Television and they are very excited about the September launch. They will begin promoting Q Television on their stations next week and we will also be targeting the RCN cities where Q will be carried.

We have received approximately 100,000 calls over the past two months on our 800 number. The majority of the calls related to the caller's request for carriage. We believe most shareholders will want to watch Q to see what they own. We are currently in negotiations with the major cable and satellite companies, plus many other small cable companies. Some of the cable companies we have already signed, but you could help with some of the other cable and satellite carriers.

We need you to call your local cable company and/or satellite provider and ask them to carry the Q Television Network as part of the fall line-up. Remember, all such providers have Caller ID, so one person calling 200 times a day from the same phone is not going to help. One person calling every week does help because that just means you are a persistent customer. This doesn't mean we are desperate, but it will help close the contracts, particularly where management is sitting on the fence. For example, one gentleman I spoke to only has 1500 clients, but he received 60 calls asking for Q Television in the last two weeks. He immediately called me and said he wanted to carry Q Television and we are putting his contract together now. This shows how important your calls are. If the cable company wants to reach Q Television regarding carriage, they should call Rene Schenk and he can be reached on 877-875-6300.

Once you've called your local cable company, send an email to info@qtelevision.com and let us know the name of the carrier you called and your zip code. By the way, if you are one of the 100,000 who called our 800 number in the last two months, you will be receiving an automated call asking you to call your local cable company, but you don't have to wait for that call. Also, ask your friends to call. It only helps.

We will be putting information out in the national press soon. During the week of the national convention it might be slow because the press will so busy, but before and after we will have general press coverage. This helps to raise awareness of Q Television and generates interest therein.

One other item I would like to mention is that we are very proud to announce that we have sponsors in most areas of the country for any people who are housebound with AIDS. We are going to pay for their basic cable and provide the $7.95 per month subscription to Q Television Network at no charge. This means we are truly a gay channel for the gay community.

This weekend we shot pilots for WOW!, Q The Music, Qewsbreak, Q on the Move and Yestergay. Today I will sort through the pilots and daily production will begin next week. Q will be jumping out of the box and ready to go on September 4th.
