BURBANK, CA - February 2, 2006 - Continuing its drive for nationwide carriage,
Q Television Network (See OTCBB Other: QBID) will provide content for Verizon
FiOS TV, Verizon's new fiber-optic TV service. Through the agreement, Verizon

"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.
