PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Jan 25, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Q Television Network,
(Pink Sheets: QBID), the television network for the gay and lesbian community,
got an exclusive insider's view of the Presidential inauguration last Thursday,
January 20, when Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass) invited the network along as
he attended some of the Inaugural events.
"Q on the Move" host Nick Oram covered the inaugural proceedings for Q
Television as Congressman Frank's special guest.
Oram accompanied Congressman Frank to, among other places, the "Alternative
Inaugural Ball," which raised money for non-incumbent Democratic candidates. In
a speech to the attendees, Rep. Frank asserted that progressives must make the
case that President Bush's policies are hurting minorities, gays and poor and
working people. Oram also joined Rep. Frank at his interview with comedian and
radio show host Al Franken.
The exclusive footage will be broadcast in upcoming episodes of "Q on the Move,"
the network's travelogue of gay-friendly places, people and events.
"We are grateful for Congressman Frank for giving us exclusive entree to the
places and events which are of particular interest to our viewers," said Frank
Olsen, President and CEO of Q Television Network. "We promised to cover the 'gay
angle' of every national event, and you can't get any bigger than the
presidential inauguration."

such original programming as "WOW! Women on Women," a lesbian talk show; "Q the
Music," a video program, "In FoQus," a biography program, and "On Q Live," an
