Yes it is! No it isn't!
It's dueling press releases, as Canada's
PrideVision denies that the American
Q Television has made a purchase offer, and Q Television says it has.
"'By acquiring Pride Vision, Q would be able to cut its expenses down on all of its programming costs,' Frank Olsen, president and CEO of Q Television Network, said in a statement Friday. 'It is still early in the game but we feel confident with our bid to purchase the network and further expand Q and the Queer television movement.'
"But, Monday, PrideVision said no bid had been made. 'PrideVision is not seeking buyers,' Bill Craig, president of the network and its majority shareholder, said in a statement. 'A representative of Q Television telephoned PrideVision without invitation last week simply to explore possibilities,' Craig's statement said. QTV, however, maintains that discussions have taken place."
