LGBTQ plus ESG 100 (LGBT)

This is a very interesting one I am starting my research on LGBT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlanetOut_Inc.

In January 2009, PlanetOut Inc. announced plans to merge with Here Networks LLC and Regent Entertainment Media, Inc.; PlanetOut was acquired by Here Media Inc. and has ceased operations. The PlanetOutInc.com website is now defunct, but going to planetout.com website defaults to the webpage of the gay.com daily news.

Under the terms of the agreement, PlanetOut stockholders will receive one share of Here Media common stock, together with one share of Here Media special stock, for each share of PlanetOut stock that the stockholder owns immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, which will result in the former PlanetOut stockholders owning 20% of Here Media’s common stock and 100% of its outstanding special stock. The owners of Here Networks and Regent Entertainment Media will receive that number of shares of Here Media’s common stock such that they will own 80% of Here Media’s common stock following the merger and the contributions. The special stock is being issued to provide a limited form of downside protection in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Here Media or a sale of Here Media for cash or marketable securities within four years after the merger and in which the holders of Here Media common stock would, but for the effect of the special stock, receive less than $4.00 per share. In that event, the holders of special stock would be entitled to a priority claim on any liquidation proceeds otherwise distributable to holders of Here Media common stock in an amount such that the liquidation proceeds they receive, when added to the liquidation proceeds payable on an equal number of shares of Here Media common stock after giving effect to the liquidation priority of the special stock would equal $4.00 of total liquidation proceeds, to the extent such funds are available after payments of all creditor claims and all liquidation preferences and accrued dividends payable to holders of preferred stock, if any. Neither the common stock nor the special stock of Here Media is currently expected to be listed.

Entertainment Advertising Surges In Gay Media

by Michael Wilke, special to 365Gay.com
Gay consumers buy a lot of tickets, and not just to musicals.
According to a recent Harris Interactive study for Viacom's new gay network LOGO, its viewers are not only five times likelier than heterosexuals to attend social dramas, art/foreign films and documentaries -- gay men also flock to horror, thrillers and sci-fi movies more than most. The study also found that LOGO watchers attend a film's opening weekend twice as much as everyone else.
LOGO owns online publications 365Gay.com, AfterEllen.com and AfterElton.com.
Entertainment advertising meant big business for gay media in 2006. HBO, Showtime, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, helped make entertainment advertising increase nearly 46% for the year at LPI's online properties, PlanetOut.com and gay.com. Competitor Here! Interactive Media, which manages GayWired and LesbianNation, reports a 100% surge to $250,000 for the category, its second largest after travel.
"The biggest increase and interest is from network and cable advertisers," notes Matt Skallerud, president of HIM.
Viacom's LOGO, now a year and a half old, doesn't yet have year-to-year figures but entertainment advertising represents its second largest ad category after automotive. The network will reach 25.6 million households this quarter, and already carries over 80 advertisers, including every major Hollywood studio -- Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal, Sony, Warner Brothers, Disney/Buena Vista. All the major independent studios are lined up too, like Lions Gate Films, Miramax, Focus Features, Sony Classics, Paramount Classics, Warner Independent, and Fox Searchlight.
In addition, TV networks on LOGO include Animal Planet, Showtime, FOX for "American Idol," and Lifetime for its gay-themed program starring John Stamos, "Marriage Wars."
"The entertainment category is among the most healthy for LOGO," says Tom Watson, VP Advertising Sales at LOGO. Noting that TV network advertising could grow too, he adds, "I suspect there is the possibility of more of this business from CBS, NBC Travel Channel and Bravo." CBS is also owned by Viacom, and provides news resources to LOGO.
NBC Universal's Bravo Network has made its name with gay audiences and general audiences alike on gay-inclusive reality programs like "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," "Project Runway," "Top Chef," "Work Out," ""Manhunt," Blow Out," "Gay Weddings," and "Boy Meets Boy." Last June, Bravo launched the gay-targeted web portal OutzoneTV (named after now-defunct Trio network's programming block), featuring Bravo programs, fashion, gossip, BrilliantButCancelled.com, message boards, and links to gay blogs.
Jason Klarman, SVP Marketing at Bravo, says the network started OutzoneTV to "superserve the gay and lesbian community" and comments on the lack of options for gay web consumers. "Online you can do two things -- date or watch porn," he says.
The portal attracts 200,000 unique visitors monthly according to Klarman. The site carries ads for gay,com and RSVP Vacations, co-owned by LPI Media which it collaborated with to create OutzoneTV. In addition, house ads run from NBC Sports for the National Hockey League, "The Apprentice," and "Poker After Dark."
Stoli and Subaru Invest In Branded Entertainment
Meanwhile, on the strength of gay-targeted film and TV, some advertisers are investing in branded entertainment.
Subaru, a charter sponsor of LOGO, last year created two-minute mini-movie internsitials for LOGO about Subaru owners, like a woman who runs Greensgrow Farm in Philadelphia, and a female couple who are triathletes and expedition racers. A new one will be produced for spring, and they also appear on logoonline.com for more exposure. "It's been a very, very effective marketing tool," says John Nash of Moon City Productions, Subaru's gay market ad agency.
Seeking a way to uniquely stand out in the highly competitive category of vodka in the gay marketplace, Pernod Ricard USA's Stolichnaya Vodka produced a 53-minute documentary called "Be Real - Stories from Queer America" about six gays and lesbians who made a difference in their communities. The film ran at 19 gay film festivals and was co-produced by Emmy winning TVGals and gay ad agency Double Platinum, New York.
"The category required that Stoli do something completely different, it became logical because of gay television," says Double Platinum's Stephanie Blackwood about the film. Stoli was cleverly branded via the film at many festivals sponsored by the category leader, Absolut Vodka, with only Outfest in Los Angeles rejecting "Be Real" as a conflict with Absolut. It also won an award from the Association of National Advertisers.
Moving to other media, "Be Real" recently aired on LOGO, and in spring 2007 will be turned into a series of half-hour programs on the network.
"Going into TV reaches a broader audience in terms of numbers," says Adam Rosen, Senior Brand Manager for Stoli at Pernod Ricard USA, which spent 10% of its advertising on GLBT marketing and expects to grow the figure in 2007.
Rosen says that research found that the brand resonated with GLBT consumers twice as much as general consumers, and credits the non-traditional efforts behind "Be Real."

Gay Clout To Be $835- Billion By 2011 Study Shows
by 365Gay.com Newscenter Staff
Posted: January 25, 2007 - 5:00 pm ET
(New York City) A new economic impact study says that 2011 LGBT buying power in the US will exceed $835-billion per year.
"Corporate America is waking up to the enormous opportunity of marketing to gays and lesbians," said market research firm Packaged Facts which prepared the study in collaboration with Witeck-Combs Communications, an LGBT marketing and public relations firm.
The report, The Gay and Lesbian Market in the U.S. says that this year the buying power of gays and lesbians will reach $660 billion. The study said that it is estimated there are about 15.3 million gays and lesbians in the country.
"What we're finding since our last report two years ago is a greater openness among gays and lesbians to share their consumer habits, leisure and media pursuits, and personal/social attitudes," said Don Montuori, the publisher of Packaged Facts.
"At the same time there is a growing trend towards acceptance among the American people which is opening up greater opportunities to market to gays and lesbians in traditional and online venues."
Montuori points to the commercial success of LOGO, the LGBT cable network which has more than 80 major brands as sponsors, and advertisers.
"As trendspotters, we see marketers hungry to acquire more appreciation of gay Americas economic standing, as well as more sophistication about what makes gay households like and unlike other households," said Bob Witeck, CEO of Witeck-Combs Communications.
Last year Witeck and business partner Wes Combs co-authored Business Inside Out, considered the first-ever book on marketing insights, practical tips and strategies targeting the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender market.

The Out Traveler Poised to Become First Gay-and-Lesbian Themed Publication to Hit 250,000 in Circulation

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23, 2006 -- PlanetOut Inc.

In related news, Ed Salvato, former travel editor, PlanetOut Inc., was named editor in chief of the magazine and corporate director of travel media, PlanetOut Inc.

"Under Ed's stewardship, I expect the magazine's editorial content to provide a sophisticated point of view while at the same time giving our readers practical, useful advice."

Salvato, who will continue to be based in New York City, brings years of experience to his new role, first as editor in chief of OUT&ABOUT, a travel newsletter and Web site acquired by PlanetOut in 2000, and subsequently as the travel editor for both PlanetOut.com and Gay.com.
"My role will be to grow the brand strategically, and to create synergy between the travel content in our print and online brands when appropriate," said Salvato. "I sincerely hope to leverage my experience to shepherd The Out Traveler to new heights, better anticipate the needs of our readers, chronicle the state of gay travel, and, in our own small way, help shape its future."

PlanetOut's other print titles, including The Advocate and Out, have continued their own solid growth in 2006 through cross promotional initiatives, a new digital delivery option and editorial enhancements.

good luck with that :)

Ok, thanks DK...I need to start and do some more digging with this company. It doesn't make sense that this stock is still at this level. I will let you know what I find...Good & Bad.

not that I know of. It's an unmoderated board.

DK, can we add this link to their web site in the ibox?

http://www.planetoutinc.com/

or not.

Dump some money into it....

Not bad! I finally made some money! I think it will go back up to $ 10. So I'm going to dumb some serious money into it....

from $3 to almost $5.

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/quotes.asp?ticker=LGBT&qm_page=998&qm_symbol=LGBT

Crap! I haven't been paying attention.Is it back up again? and what level?

at least this thing has made a profit, stockwise..Shoulda bought some..could made 80%.

I haven't been paying attention either. Guess I should have..could made a little coin on the bounce back. Chart looks good.

I haven't been paying attention...Anything new with this stock?

yup. and, dare I say, depending on the upcoming elections, all things gay may or may not take a hit.

I'm sure there is more going on than just the ailing Advocate to caused such a large drop with the LGBT stock.
But I'm still willing to bet on its long term goals for becoming the largest gay media company in the country.I will flip some of my investment and gamble a larger portion and see what happens.
Look at Siri, everyone thought that stock would shoot up after the signing of Stern and it also has taken a large hit.

You said it perfectly and I agree 100%.

well...magazines and publications have a VERY tough go of it these days. I trust your opinion (since I don't read gay magazines) that The Adovcate has taken a turn for the worse.

Nothing like a big drop in subscribers/advertisers to shake a company up, eh?

'just another night at the opera'.

LOVE that.

Great message. I've always admired the way you deal with her.

Well, tonight was opening night of the opera season. I played a nervous fop in an over-inflated white powdered wig, and then we killed the king of Sweden. Just another night at the opera.

I agree. Honesty was Never EVER something that applied to QTN so any comparison that some people would make comparing PlanetOut and QTN are ludicrous. QTN failed because they were ripping off INVESTORS, Employees, Vendors. It's failure had nothing to do with the lack of gay support, but it had everything to do with a crook named FRANK OLSON. Some people still want to play that game and use gays and Planet Out as a way to excuse a thief, but I'm not going to dance to that nonsense.
The lack of advertisers in the advocate has to do with poor management decisions. You can go to any newsstand where there is a gay section and the NEW gay magazines are in abundant supply and full with ads from corporate America. I personally think it's a shame that the advocate is no longer the great national magazine it once was, but I have to admit I did lose interest when there was a major change in its style and how the magazine was packaged. They also lost some very good writers that had a huge impact on the investigative reporting that they were once known for.

ahh...the fresh sound of HONESTY from a company forcasting their future...

well we don't have to second guess this company. They came out and said it......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I'll be watching for Karen's efforts and whether she can get folks to sign on.....

but as I learned from QTN it has to be subscribed to to keep going otherwise we'll see this drop each and everytime...

nice try :)

Subscriptions were just a SMALL part of Q's issues, Anne. Reckless spending, non-reporting, hiding money, WASTING money, not paying vendors/empolyees, over 80 'failure to pay' lawsuits, pathetic fiscal negligence (oh..and 350 BILLION f'n shares) all contributed to the demise of Q.

I honestly haven't had time to read LGBT's filings. But I will.

I'm going to watch this stock and re-enter if it makes sense. I like the potential ones. This one has potential but I need to see if there's going to be a steady UT to keep it on the exchange it's currently listed on. Karen has great qualifications*. It's a new position for her. We'll have to see whether she can drum up the support of the GLBT community and get this company going. Lowell had great plans but as I learned from QTN it has to be subscribed to to keep going otherwise we'll see this drop each and everytime...I was hoping PlanetOut had enough money to pick up the QTN folks in a network but after reading their financials they are skidding down the hill and the oversold position of their stock is IMO the only thing that brought it back to this level....I'll watch and see what develops here.

look at Karen's qualifications: this is going to be worth a watch to me. Lowell stays on the board

"Karen Magee appointed new chief executive officer of PlanetOut Inc. effective July 1."

"Magee has served on PlanetOut's board of directors since September 2003. Prior to her appointment as PlanetOut's CEO, Karen served as senior vice president of strategic planning for Time Warner from April 2004 until March 2006. She also served as vice president for Time Inc. from February 2001 until April 2004, and before that, served as general manager and vice president of consumer marketing with TIME Magazine from February 1996 until February 2001. Magee sits on the Princeton University Board of Trustees and previously served as co-chair of The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) board of directors. She holds a B.S.E. from Princeton University and an M.B.A. from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania."

glad you flipped and made some money. That's all I'm planning on doing with this.

as far as others go, they are free to post and are welcome here, but, too many of them lost WAAAAYYY too much money being screwed by the blatant fiscal lack of responsibility of QBID to bother.

you and I will never agree, so we won't bring the argument up here. LGBT is struggling, but the stock seems to be wanting to come back up, and the mgmt seems to be fair, honest, and running a real, serious business, UNLIKE Frank Olsen and his crew who are now in hiding, left MILLION dollars of debt and unpaid bills, and ruined many a hard-working persons $$.

this isn't about the community anymore. It's plain that the community WILL support stock/companies, espcially IF they're run honestly. For me, and many others, it's about how the dream of what Q could have been was completely destroyed by a horrible business man who OBVIOUSLY lied.

What becomes of QBID is up to Mr. Fan now, but it will NEVER be what it was supposed to be, and it will never be what INVESTORS thought it would be. If it has new business ventures, it should just get its 'cleansing' R/S done, change its ticker to something new, and have no connection to it's sorrid, horrible past.

ok in at 3.04 out at 3.24...didn't have that many shares. I don't know if it needs to meet a minimum pps to stay on the exchange it's on so I didn't want to chance it...but it's obviously gone up nicely so far. Maybe one of the GLBT folks would like to take over the board and lend us their insight. I'm thinking of Spring Rain. He hasn't posted on QBID for a while and maybe he'll find an opportunity to come back posting if he had a board that interested him. Might want to mention it to him dk....

"Although we had positive net income in the year ended December 31, 2005, we had a net loss of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and we have incurred significant losses since our inception. As of June 30, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of $35.1 million. We expect to incur significant marketing, engineering and technology, and general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future. As a result, we will need to continue to grow revenue and increase our operating margins to regain and expand our profitability.

Are they not getting the revenue they need, OR, are they not spending their money wisely??

HOD 3.15 (3.08/3.10)

HOD 3.10 (3.06/3.08) the risk here is if they need to sustain $4 will they drop down to the OTC if they can't get back to $4?

I wish PlanetOut would pick up QTN but it looks like PlanetOut is not getting the revs to sustain it's own business

today's chart:



I'm in at 3.04

Thanks Dk for the advice...I appreciate it.

well..if Frankie hadn't had his head up his ass and sold to Planet Out, the whole situation might be a hell of a lot different. (not that I'm even sure P.O. wanted to buy Q..but, Franks should have been beating down THEIR door).

play it, flip it, run it. WATCH YOUR L2 before you buy tomorrow. See what the MM's are doing.

I still have faith that this will turn around and I intent to buy more tomorrow. I must say that the advocate magazine is NOT what it use to be.I'm very surprised to see all the NEW gay publications that are twice the size of the advocate.
Last I heard is that PlanetOut is serious about acquiring a network and wanting to reach a global market. I wonder if that is still in the plan?
