I dunno - More likely it's MTV that's hosed due to Frank tossing out the $2 a month gauntlet! LOL

Besides, anybody buying a car can choose between dozens of manufacturers.

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.
