GLMC, GAAY associate, and RNWK partner and merger candidate under exclusive agreement (GLMC is the award winner for best Linux Application, applying e-commerce to streaming media), should be NASDAQ in a week or two.
I read in the SEC files that Global needed to raise $4 million dollars for the next quarter, and NASDAQ requires they have 10 million minimum in financing available from their finance company, RGC, to qualify for a listing. All this was accomplished as of March 23, when the 1999 Option Plan became fully implemented. The SEC is now in the final stages of review. No reason for the application not to be approved. Also, on Friday CNBC did a very encouraging 7 minute segment on GLMC.
You can study the volume since January 11 and see that all the warrants and options have been issued.
1) $10 million minimum from RGC:
Warrants: 680,000@$8.4375 (study volume)
1.97 million approximately 4 dollar options written to board of directors, but not sold, and issued as of March 13 as stated in SEC files.
2) Additional capital raised includes these options and warrants (at least 4 million).
Warrants: 62,769@$8.125 (study volume)
Options: 85,000 @ $6.63 and $7.00, 12,000@$6.63, 15000@$7.00, 8000@$6.06, 77,000@$8.00. (study volume)
and
Several hundred thousand 4 dollar options probably sold by the board of directors to the new president and vice president and market makers between 5 1/2 and 6 1/2. (study most recent volume).
Underwriters will likely be buying a significant portion of these shares and other shares held by RGC after the listing is announced, and a significant portion of the float is already tightly held for a secondary. It looks to me from the latest SEC File that Global Media is targeting this Fall (pre-Christmas runup for etailers) for the secondary when they will be raising a very substantial amount of money with RNWK?s assistance. E-commerce via streaming media should be hot. High speed connections are beginning to become the norm, and this Christmas should be the first boom for this kind of company. Global has been holding back a lot of news from which to start building momentum. I wouldn?t be surprised to see 30-40 dollars a share in the next few months.
I'm only sending this out to longs - no daytraders |

Multichannel News

Despite a published report on the MSN Web portal, a spokesman for EchoStar Communications Corp. denied Friday that its Dish Network service plans to launch Gay Television Network.
Palm Springs, Calif.-based Co-Media Inc. issued a press release earlier this week saying it would launch the new network exclusively on Dish Feb. 2.
At its Web site, wearegaytv.com, the programmer pitched the service for $19.95 per month along with a free satellite system.
Calls to Co-Media's toll-free investor-relations phone number were not returned Friday. |

News Analysis by Crusader
Exclusive to metroG.com
PALM SPRINGS, CA (January 26, 2001) -- The lavish 12,000 square foot corporate offices of Co-Media, Inc. and Triangle Multi-Media Ltd are filled with promotional materials for what was to be the premiere of gay television programming exclusive to Dish Satellite Network beginning February 2. Co-Media and Triangle claims they have invested approximately $7 million in money and commitments to develop Gay Television Network (GTN), which was to provide a very large number of gay and lesbian programs for Dish. Dish is owned by EchoStar Communications Corporation, whose corporate offices are based in Colorado. Triangle Broadcasting (an arm of Triangle Multi-Media) currently produces gay radio programming on the Internet from their Palm Springs studio.
On January 16, Co-Media announced in a PRNewswire press release that GTN programming would be aired exclusively with Dish, and provided details about how consumers can take advantage of a $19.95 per month promotion that includes the dish and free installation. The promotion is also featured on GTN's website (Gay Television Network), and in advertisements placed in 77 gay-oriented publications throughout the nation. According to spokespersons for Co-Media and Triangle, the ads in question were reviewed and approved by Dish prior to publication.
Shortly after the Co-Media press release was issued, however, it became unclear whether or not GTN would ever see the light of day on Dish. According to a January 19 Multichannel News story (via tvinsite.com ) a Dish spokesperson denied the ''gay TV deal.'' When metroG attempted to access the GTN website that weekend, we received the following message: ''The Gay Television Network Website will Be Down Until Tuesday January 30th for database configuration and server upgrades.'' During that same weekend, GTN's corporate voice mail system must have been inundated with inquiries and crashed, because several attempts to its corporate numbers over the weekend resulted in a few rings followed by dead silence.
metroG finally caught up with Triangle Media CEO Frank Olsen on January 25 via telephone, who confirmed that a contract had been signed. ''They got cold feet,'' he said. ''They came to us to have us air programs. They approved our ads, and then all of the sudden when our press release came out, they then denied they had a contract with us.''
Olsen said that the reason web surfers could not access the GTN website on the weekend of the 19th was because Dish had ''asked us to take the site down,'' even though all parties involved are said to have entered into a $360,000 per month contract. GTN (Gay Television Network) is back up on the net and was fully operational at the time this article was written. Olsen said that Dish was apparently upset after MSNBC ran a headline stating that Dish would ''serve up gay TV.'' Dish also asked for an apology from Co-Media for mentioning Dish in a press release. Gary Goldman, corporate attorney for Co-Media, told metroG, ''We wrote them [Dish] a letter of apology, at their request, apologizing for releasing the [January 16] press release without getting their approval on it.''
After playing telephone tag with Dish's media relations department for two days, I finally got what amounted to a ''no comment'' from spokesperson Mark Lumkin on January 26. When I asked him for a comment about ''the gay television programming controversy,'' Lumkin said he had no idea what I was talking about. When I specifically mentioned GTN, Co-Media, and Triangle by name, he vehemently denied that Dish had a written contract with the entities in question, and refused to confirm or deny that they now are in or have ever been in negotiations with GTN, Co-Media, or Triangle Multi-Media regarding such programming. ''When we launch a new channel, we enter into negotiations with the program designers, enter into an agreement, and put out our own press release,'' he said. When asked to comment about GTN's ads in gay publicatins, Lumkin said, ''We never approved [GTN] ads for the gay media.''
So, what inquiring minds want to know: Is this some sort of scam operating out of a boiler room with a post office box? Why is a multi-billion dollar satellite company denying any involvement with gay television programming?
After spending more than an hour touring GTN, and speaking with the main players in an informal setting on January 26, I can unequivocally state that this not only appears to be a legitimate venture, but that once this programming gets on-the-air, it is going to put a face on gay-related programming that will rock the world!
Upon entering the corporate office, located near downtown Palm Springs, I observed a Dish banner over the reception area, which GTN spokespersons say was provided to them by Dish. While waiting in the reception area for the grand tour, I leafed through the current issue of Expressions (EXP) Magazine (based in Missouri) and noticed a full-page advertisement for GTN: ''Gay-TV is Out of the Closet! Subscribe now to the first and only Gay-TV Channel...'' Moments later, I was greeted by GTN founder Frank Olsen, who literally dropped everything he was doing to give me a complete tour of the offices and studios. (For all trivia buffs: the studio was once the home of ''The Morton Downey Jr. Show.'') If this is a scam operating out of boiler room, then these folks deserve an Oscar. After the tour, I interviewed Olsen, Marvin Jenkins, president and CEO of Co-Media, and their corporate attorney, Gary Goldman.
Goldman confirmed the contract with Dish. ''We have a written contract to distribute Dish [satellite] dishes to the gay community, and it is signed,'' he said. ''We have a contract to go on the network, which has been modified several times at their request. It has been signed by us...They have changed the terms, in writing, on several occasions. The latest was a couple of days ago, after their press release denying they had a contract with us.'' (During my brief conversation with Dish's Lumkin earlier in the day, he categorically denied that Dish ever issued a press release denying the GTN contract.)
Jenkins provided metroG with compelling evidence of a contractual relationship between EchoStar and Co-Media. He explained that in the original ad submitted to EchoStar for their review, the Dish logo was in blue and ''we were instructed to change it to red.''
Jenkins also said that Randy Bowman, the regional sales manager for EchoStar, came to Palm Springs on October 3, 2000 and gave a training session at GTN studios for all GTN employees. The purpose of the training session was to explain to employees the policies and procedures for selling subscriptions to the Dish Satellite Network. Jenkins said they have the training sessions on video tape to utilize for new employees. Goldman said that some employees were even sent to a Dish training program in Sacramento, California in November.
In a November 28 letter addressed to Co-Media, EchoStar's senior vice president of the satellite division states: ''EchoStar looks forward to a business relationship with Co-media (sic) that will continue long past the term of this initial Agreement...Again, EchoStar looks forward to a long and mutually beneficial business relationship with Co-media (sic).'' That certainly does not sound like a company without a contract.
On December 1, at EchoStar's invitation, Jason Shearouse, vice president of marketing for GTN, gave a presentation in Sacramento to Dish's West Coast distributors. This presentation, according to Jenkins, was also video taped. On January 11, 2001, EchoStar's Bowman is said to have come to GTN's offices for ''an update on our programming and GTN issued him a check made payable to EchoStar,'' Jenkins said. On that same date, according to Jenkins, Michael Schwimmer, vice president of programming for EchoStar, spoke with Triangle's Olsen to ''officially welcome GTN to Dish's family schedule.''
Olsen described a variety of gay-related programming on GTN to metroG, including a ''Gay Court'' program. GTN spokespersons said it will be similar to ''Judge Judy,'' but will focus on the unique issues that gays and lesbians face in every day life. Will the first ''Gay Court'' program be the case of Co-Media, Inc. v. EchoStar Communications Corporation? ''There will be a lawsuit launched next week if they [EchoStar] do not comply with the terms of the deal,'' said GTN attorney Goldman. He said that Co-Media and Triangle would seek $300 to $400 million in damages in a California federal court. Goldman said that as a result of Dish denying the gay TV deal, GTN has ''lost credibility in the gay community, and it is costing us a lot of money in terms of [losing] customers.'' He said that GTN is doing everything possible to negotiate the current matter without going to court.
metroG is committed to keeping its readers apprised of any new developments with this story.

Thursday July 28, 3:23 pm ET
PALM SPRINGS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 28, 2005--Q Television Network (OTCBB Other: QBID), the first 24/7 premium network for the gay and lesbian community, announced today that their presence at this week's annual CTAM Summit in Philadelphia was a huge success for the network. The CTAM Summit broke all previous registration records with about 3500 cable TV programming and marketing executives in attendance at the Pennsylvania Convention Center from Sunday, July 24 through Tuesday, July 26th. This event provided the premium cable TV network with a unique opportunity to have direct access to the cable TV industry's top decision makers, all within one location.
ADVERTISEMENT
"We wanted to make a good impression with cable operators at CTAM. I believe we were very successful. Cable operators can now see that Q Television is a player," said Frank Olsen, President, CEO and Founder of Q Television Network.
The network managed a series of meetings with key cable TV system operators about carriage of the network. These activities were supported by a dynamic print media campaign that dominated every trade publication, as well as an in-hotel room video presence. The promotional prominence on-site was topped off by the CTAM closing reception, sponsored by Q Television.
The network used this reception as a platform to kick off its 12-month countdown to its unprecedented live telecast coverage of Gay Games® VII from Chicago next July. At the reception Q Television Network brought the energy, passion and international flavor of Gay Games® VII to nearly 1000 of the attendees of CTAM Summit with an unforgettable celebration. The party -- which took place immediately after the closing session -- featured several of the network's on-air talent, a representative from the Gay Games, plus a booming and colorful "parade of athletes" to represent the Games' international participants, and a glamorous and celebrated "gender illusionist", or drag queen, who was carried by four muscle-bound gladiators in a gold "Q" sedan chair.
Cable industry guests also enjoyed viewing the world premiere of a special 4-minute video designed to give a preview of next year's groundbreaking coverage, which begins with the "Road to Gay Games® VII" series, which will feature the personal stories of individual athletes in training for next summer's Chicago Games. This series is hosted by Saskia Webber, former member of the 1999 World Cup Champion U.S. Women's National Soccer Team.
"We wanted to inform cable TV operators about the importance of these Games to their gay & lesbian subscribers. Premiering the video gave us the chance to introduce the industry to this world-class, sporting and cultural event, and to emphasize that QTN will be the first network ever to telecast the Games," said Joe Schramm, President of Schramm Sports & Entertainment, the New York agency responsible for developing the trade brand image and consumer marketing for the network.
As the official television network for Gay Games® VII, QTN will provide an unparalleled lineup of both live and packaged programming that not only takes viewers into the Olympic-style action, but also connects them with the hearts and personal stories of the participating athletes from all over the world. Next summer's Chicago games are a featured highlight of what has become a signature of the channel -- on-site live coverage of major events that are important to the gay and lesbian audience.

| From: Smiling Bob | 9/21/2005 12:08:24 PM | | | | | | This crook still repeating the same BS over and over and over. Again, they're screwing with ownership of an overhyped and overvalued asset
The audit's been progressing for six years
The shareholder meeting delayed for 5
Put him away already
Press Release Source: Q Television Network
Q Television President and CEO Addresses Shareholders
Wednesday September 21, 11:37 am ET
PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Sept. 21, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Q Television Network (Other OTC:QBID.PK - News) announced today that Frank Olsen, President, CEO and Founder of Q Television Network, has sent the following letter to shareholders.
ADVERTISEMENT
Dear Shareholders:
I'd like to briefly share some information with you about the network.
The studio is up and running, and is presently producing 5 hours a day of live new shows this month. Everything is within budget and within the time expected. I'd like to give a special thanks to Scott Withers & Alexis Fish for their hard work & dedication. Scott Withers has become Vice President of Q Television Network, replacing Joseph Morales.
I'm aware of shareholder concerns and I'm also aware that the shareholder meeting was supposed to be held at the end of September. That being said, we are a little behind schedule.
The DVD for shareholders should be mailed during the beginning of October. If you haven't sent an e-mail to Richard Brown yet, please do so, because the earlier we have your information, the sooner you will receive your DVD. The DVD will detail the company's growth, position in the marketplace, and specific answers to shareholder questions.
We have pushed the shareholder meeting back to Tuesday, October 11th. Originally, we were going to lease a hotel chain so shareholders could watch the simulcast of this meeting. Logistically, that was too difficult. We have a contract with an internet company to simulcast the meeting in type. The meeting will be interactive so that shareholders can ask questions.
We are on time with the audit, and it will be made public upon completion. The audit will outline certain points.
1. Triangle Multi-Media owns Q Television Network. If Q Television Network is sold, Triangle Multi-Media shareholders will be paid.
2. The additional assets of Triangle Multi-Media will also be disclosed in the audit, and this audit will ultimately bring us to reporting status. Please allow another 60 days for this to be completed. Due to government agency reporting, we cannot pinpoint or control the exact date for completion of the audit and fully reporting status. I understand this information has been a long time coming and well deserved for the shareholders. This audit will show that the financial side of Triangle Multi-Media is just as structured as the creative side of Triangle Multi-Media.
3. The teleport has become an income-producing entity, and more importantly, the land we purchased with the teleport is on high ground with minimal damage. We have been running fiber uplinks throughout the country, and by week's end we will have digital uplink service throughout the country.
I ask you to have confidence in our network. Contracts have been signed and are pending approval by the carrier companies. We will put this information out on the wire when we can. New advertisers have been signed, and you can view them on Q Television Network.
It's our goal to be a profitable company. If Triangle Multi-Media continues on the path it's on, we should break even by January 2006 and profitable by May 2006.
Finally, on national coming out day, Tuesday October 11th, we plan to have an open house for our studio. We have a limited number of seats available. But, please e-mail Richard Brown at staff@EquityRelations.com, and we will provide seats for shareholders on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Thank you for your time.
Frank Olsen
