Out.com Exclusive: Q Television Shuts Down Production
Is this the end for the gay channel? We have the real story.
by Jeffrey Epstein
Q Television Network, one of the three gay cable channels (and the only one that features 100% original content) has shut down production for about two weeks, we have learned. The network, which features openly gay talent like Steve Kmetko, Reichen Lehmkuhl, and Sandra Bernhard, is still paying salaried employees, but all independent contractors (also called 1099 workers) were let go earlier this week, which has sent tongues wagging that this might leave just the Logo and here! networks to battle it out for gay audiences.
Not true, says Honey Labrador, who cohosts and produces Q’s morning show Brunch and will be the anchor for the network’s extensive coverage of the Gay Games this summer in Chicago. “We are completely committed to what it is Q Television does and this is provide original, live programming,” Labrador tells us. “So we are taking until the 13th of February to concentrate on our live programming. Some of it is retooling some of the shows as well as preparing ourselves for the unprecedented live coverage of the Gay Games.” Q owns the exclusive broadcast, radio, and internet rights to the Games.
Q’s Executive Vice President of Network Operations, Carol Hinnant, adds that while the 1099 workers have been released, when production starts again on the 13th she expects them all to be rehired. “We’re hoping they’ll all come back, but some of them may have taken other jobs by then,” she notes. “But we can’t afford to pay 1099 employees while we’re in this planning session.”
Hinnant told us that effective this week Q is in more homes than ever, as they have added part of Massachusetts, Texas, and Virginia to their coverage areas. Plus, she points out, that while shows are not in production, the network has not gone dark. “Everything is up and running,” she says. “We prerecorded sessions that we’re running this week. But we are a small staff with a large commitment coming up with the Games. We’re even going behind the scenes of the Super Bowl to learn how to handle these big events. It’s not easy being a stand-alone, start-up network, but I have confidence in what we’re doing.”

| From: E. Taylor | 2/3/2006 4:24:21 PM | | | | | | Mr. Brown kept his word, I received my Triangle Multimedia ”Investor Reel 2006” today. I was hoping for more substance like a detailed financial report, but what I received was a commercial.
Having said that I’m still impressed with what they are doing. They are spending a lot of money, and I think suspending operations to rethink what can and can not be done at this point in time is a good idea. While the sky is falling I’m still accumulating. No matter what happens for here out IMHO the stock is worth a lot more that .0001. |

time will tell,,too much gossip,,no way to know anything unless it is pr'd and actually validated...
i think the company will survive,,stock is 50/50 at this point with what has transpired...anyone who is new to this stock needs to know that it is at extremme risk...
i am holding all shares and will see how it plays out in the next few weeks,, if everything goes ok,,next level to get to is summer of 06...if that goes well stock should be higher and imo,,that would be the time to reassess the future of qbid... |

Tue Feb 7, 2006 5:34 AM ET
By Carly Mayberry
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Bravo is launching its first broadband channel targeted specifically to a gay and lesbian audience, the network said Monday.
Dubbed OutzoneTV.com, the channel, set to launch next month, will feature video-on-demand content based around the network's series "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," "Boy Meets Boy" and "Gay Weddings," and will also establish blogs and other community activities where viewers can voice opinions and post comments about Bravo programming.
The move follows the launch of TrioTV.com and the future launch of BrilliantButCancelled.com, part of the NBC Universal-owned network's aggressive rollout of broadband channels announced last month.
"Clearly, there's an appetite from Bravo television viewers for increased flow of content that a linear TV channel can't provide," Bravo president Lauren Zalaznick said. "This on-demand push makes great Bravo content that there isn't room for on TV available 24/7."
Zalaznick, who said the broadband channel's content will be "smart and funny and relatable to everyone," also said the network is partnering with media entertainment PlanetOut Inc. to draw from their advertising and editorial expertise with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender demographic. The collaboration marks the first time Bravo has partnered with an outside agency in the creation of a broadband site.
"We're gaining cross-promotion from the entertainment outlet for this community," Zalaznick said about Bravo's collaboration with PlanetOut, which owns Gay.com, PlanetOut.com, Kleptomaniac.com and Out&About Travel.
OutzoneTV.com, TrioTV.com and BrilliantButCancelled.com all are inspired by programming created by the now-defunct Trio network. All three channels exist under the umbrella of the network's original site, BravoTV.com. |

I spoke with Richard Brown today. He's still with Q; has been talking quite a bit this past week, particularly with shareholders and management.
He said he has a lot at stake (been paid in shares; didn't know that. Hasn't sold any, he says) and is still pushing hard for changes and transparency. Says that as far as he knows the Feb 13 deadline is still good. Could not confirm that Q has permanent replacement financing in place.
I told him that a good private equity group would be happy to fund Q in exchange for 50% of Olsen's shares, voting control, and putting in their own President and CFO. Richard could not confirm that they were in such discussions, but did confirm that such ideas have been broached to Olsen & Co by 'finance groups'. Frank & Co are just having trouble agreeing to such conditions. No doubt, it's a control and shares issue for Frank & Co: they don't want to let go control, nor give up shares. Foolish and destructive. 50% of nothing is nothing. And this venture is nothing with Olsen in control.
Richard expressed concerns about the current group of financiers; implied that they weren't real financial types. Perhaps too lax. One of them apparently has 'dropped out,' no explanation from Rich. Is any needed?
Frank & Co have put in about $12 million of their own money; are having a hard time letting go. Again, they can't grasp the concept that 50% of nothing is nothing but 20% of something is something.
Richard said Carol Hinnant saw the audit. She is a pistol. I am sure she's got Olsen's number because she's the one who delivered the carriage and the only one who has any credibility in the industry. I suspect she's starting to throw some weight around. She called up Richard and asked him to explain some numbers. That's disconcerting, actually, b/c Richard is NOT a finance guy.
BTQ, Richard still believes the reason the audit hasn't been released is because Olsen disagrees with the asset valuations. I think that's only the tip of the iceburg. He gives Olsen too much credit. |

I received a reply to an email I sent to Richard Brown early today inquiring into if production had resumed. :
“I'm being told by Scott Withers in Burbank that they have been producing live shows again - since Monday.
