Friday August 12, 10:00 am ET
PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Aug. 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Q Television Network (Other OTC:QBID.PK - News), the first 24/7 premium network for the gay and lesbian community, which will be celebrating its one-year anniversary on September 5th, announced today that it has purchased and closed on a revenue generating studio in Burbank, California.

Q Television Media City -- when not in use filming for Q Television -- will be rented out to filmmakers, television creators and entertainment executives seeking a Los Angeles studio for production. Currently the studio generates up to $400,000.00 per month in production fees.
``This turn-key facility, which has been the home of ''Jeopardy`` and the ''Wheel of Fortune,`` is state of the art and will make our transition out of Dallas quite seamless,'' said Frank Olsen, President, CEO and Founder of Q Television Network. ``Our Partnership with Firestone has never been stronger, but our growth required us to obtain an independent studio of our own. Media City equips us with all the necessary technology and space to create, produce and shoot all of our original programs. Q Television is now extremely visible to the media universe because of our own studio in close proximity to the most famous studios in the world. We are extremely pleased with this purchase, and the added income that the studio will bring in will reduce our monthly liability by 73 percent.''
There will be an open house for all viewers and investors mid-September. An announcement on the exact date and time will be made a few weeks in advance.
