red, I agree. Tell us what is happening now.

they are venting Red...once Lloyd brings out his plans and we see those plans being implemented this will all go away....

Lloyd Fan and QTN have no funding. Lloyd cannot get any funding. QTN is overwhelmed with lawsuits. They have a skeleton crew working at the studio. Most of the talent are not being told the truth about anything. It is a fiasco - beyond comprehension. Why and how QTN is even still running with no funding and over 5 mil in debt is beyond me. Frank is very depressed and sick. He will not leave his Palm Springs home. Carol Hinnant is trying to save a sinking ship. She does not return phone calls and they will not give interviews. QTN is a laughing stock and it is being run by a straight management team that includes Lloyd Fan, Carol Hinnant and Chris David. None of these folks have ever run a network and none of these folks have ever worked in the gay marketplace.

Oh yeah, QTN has not paid their bill for the website. All email is currently down. It has been down for the last week.

Red,

I'm sorry that I cannot offer any insight into the future. Fan, Carol and Egan are not talking to the employees about the future. We have no idea where we're going. For all we know, we could be on the downhill slope of a rollercoaster that is missing part of the trap at the bottom of the hill. Or, as has been hypothesized, Fan could change the focus of the network altogether and make it another home shopping network. Which I'll tell you right now, won't fly. There are currently about 8 or 9 such networks available. On any given affiliate system, there are between 3-5 available to subscribers. The home shopping channel arena is over saturated. Besides that all the contracts would have to be re-negotiated before that change could happen. That would take a lot of time.

I want to make something very clear. I believe in the purpose of QTN and have done all I can do to make it succeed. I want to see this channel take off and kick LoGo to the curb! LOL I love this channel and only want see things happen that are in it's best interest. I cannot however put my faith into the new management to take this station and make it the amazing thing it could be. Two months ago HereTV was bumped down to 2 hours of programming a day, 6 days a week. LoGo got on the air after agreeing to make they're channel G-rated. Q did not give in. We want to tell our stories our way and not have anyone tell us we're wrong. That is why we're a pay channel. All the employees, current and past, still believe in what the channel could do with the right person at the helm. We just haven't found that person yet.
