After lingering on life support for months and fueled by promises that solvency was just around the corner, the Q Television Network officially ended transmission Thursday.
Q Television CEO Lloyd Fan announced that funding would not come and that the network would be unable to meet its financial obligations and would commence bankruptcy proceedings.
"When I took over control of the network on March 7, 2006, the company was roughly $7 million behind in payments to vendors; numerous lawsuits had been filed against the company and over $600,000 was owed to former employees," Fan said in a prepared statement Thursday. "The financial challenges that the network faced proved too difficult and I was simply unable to turn around the network."

People can watch only so many Will & Grace reruns. The words to the song by Queen somehow seem fitting here...Another One Bites the Dust.

Proof positive that queer does not fly with consumers.
Now, if we could only organize a backlash...aka Will and Grace are the two most despicable people on the planet.

What a pity. And just when they were getting ready to debut "Straight Eye for the Queer Guy." LMAO!!!
A show on what, do-it-yourself home improvements, sports, hunting, etc. LOL
Perhaps a little instruction on the plumbing aspects of men and women. :D

Anybody know what the life-span of this revolutionary network that was going to bring the ghey lifestyle into the mainstream for good actually was?

Gay TV network goes dark at last"At last"? From the article, it sounds like it was on the air less than a year. Sort of like that TV show, "Commander in Chief." Losers, both of them.

This is what happens with agenda driven entertainment. It tries to push a point of view, rather than respond to the demands of consumers, and ultimately it dies.
The funny thing is, the world of Entertainment is littered with the rotting corpses of ventures such as this, and yet they continue to try to cram this crap down our throats (no pun intended).
I wonder how much longer Airhead America can hold out.

OH boooofreakinhooooo! Where are all they gays??? Why aren't they supporting "their" network?????? Yeah, it should have thrived if 15% of the nation is homosexual, eh.
I guess watching angry homos bitch 24/7 or watching the same dull agenda driven entertainment was a mere novelty, eh. WTH was even on that network?
