Does anyone think the big gun carriers are waiting to see what QTN has for live programming before signing on the dotted line?
Live programming has to be VERY attractive to carriers. It get some fresh and fun programming on the carriers table. Most live shows end up with memorable moments that are exciting and alive with spontaneous real life action.
If I were a major carrier....I'd have my eyes fixed on what QTN will be offering over the next few weeks. If they like what they see....I think we'll have additional carrier(s) announced in December.
I also believe the GLBT community can be broken down into different kinds of gayness (if that's a word). The gay's who are satisfied with no being outwardly public with their gayness may not be drawn in a big way to gay television. After all, Frank said gays don't want to buy gay toothpaste so why would they be craving gay television. The want to blend in with the rest of the world and mind their own business. The gay crowd that appears at every rally, festival and pride event will be the biggest target. They are outwardly proud of their gayness and want to make a statement. Having the programming in their home will be a must...no matter the cost. This group of gays will throw their arms around this programming and lift up the network to a new level. This is the group who will most likely be participating in live studio audiance shows. That will attract many, many subscribers by being able to see other gay's live and open with their gayness on television. This will be outstanding television folks! There is another group who I wish not to discuss because I put them in the lost gerbil crowd and they will probably be the ones with the webcams!! OMG!! I'm probably wrong about that but it a good thing Frank is putting in the time delay to weed out the sicko's that might give this network a bad rap. Frank ain't going to let that happen.
Just keep in mind folks....this live programming is EXTREMELY important to our growing network. This type of programming proves to the big gun carriers that QTN is a full service network. They have the whole ball of wax. Movies, sports, documentaries, and LIVE GAY PROGRAMMING!! WOW!! I'm getting excited already!!
How about you?
