Q Television Network Signs Carriage Deal With Verizon5 February 2006
Continuing its drive for nationwide carriage, Q Television Network (OTC Bulletin Board: QBID) will provide content for Verizon FiOS TV, Verizon's new fiber-optic TV service. Through the agreement, Verizon FiOS TV will offer QTN as a premium subscription service.
QTN programming will include such hit shows as "Brunch," "QueerEdge with Jack E. Jett," "The Reichen Show," "Q on the Move," "QTN World News," "Xcess/Access," "On Topic" and "Flesh and Threads." Under the agreement, Verizon will also provide all of its subscribers with access to video-on-demand programming from QTN at no additional charge.
"Q Television Network is passionately committed to bringing its unique program offerings to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community wherever they are and by any means possible, including new platforms as they emerge in the marketplace. As Verizon continues to develop new entertainment platforms, we are thrilled to provide them with specialized programming that meets the needs of the GLBT communities," said Frank Olsen, QTN's President, CEO and Founder.
Verizon FiOS TV delivers more than 300 digital video and music channels, including more than 20 high-definition channels, plus access to more than 1,800-plus video-on-demand titles. Verizon provides FiOS TV on its fiber-to-the-premises network, which it is building in parts of 16 states, more than half of the states where it offers landline communications services. FiOS TV is currently available in parts of North Texas, Florida, Virginia, New York and Massachusetts, and Verizon will announce additional markets soon.
