PALM SPRINGS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 2004--Q Television
Network (Pink Sheets:QBID) announced today that the network has signed
the final contract with the Gay Games Committee giving Q Television
Network exclusive media and internet rights to broadcast the 2006 Gay
Games. The Gay Games VII will be held from July 15 to 22, 2006.
The contract gives Q Television broadcast rights, joint
development of Gay Games-related programming, broadcast airtime for

President and CEO of Q Television Network. "The Gay Games is a
monumental event for the Gay and Lesbian community and we are thrilled
to be the only television network to have an exclusive contract. We
look forward to telling the stories of these amazing athletes to our
viewers." ( Apparently no other Networks wanted it, since
no revenues are mentioned ).

at the Annual Meeting of the Federation of Gay Games in Cologne,
Germany. The network plans to present the stories of the men and women
worldwide participating in the games and will continue to shoot
footage of the athletes and events leading up to the Gay Games VII to
