PlanetOut to Distribute Q Television Content Online

(San Francisco, CA) – Planet Out, the nation’s leading LGBT media and entertainment company, has partnered with Q Television to develop and deliver original programming to be distributed on PlanetOut Video.

QTN is a 24 hour a day premium television network organized to create, develop and feature television programming for the LGBT community. Its lineup includes a packed Monday-through-Friday slate of live and interactive content, plus sports, news and entertainment.

PlanetOut Video is a broadband entertainment service designed to engage online audiences with LGBT video programming aggregated from TV networks, movie studios, independent film producers and individual artists.

The service launched in September on Gay.com and PlanetOut.com, reaching an audience of more than five million people monthly.

"We plan to continue our roll-out of exclusive video content to engage our audience and to keep up with the growing demand from our advertisers for targeted and measurable online video commercials,” said Mark Elderkin, president of PlanetOut Inc. “The unique news, talk and variety shows that QTN produces are sure to be a hit with our audience.” QTN will supply highlights of its original programming, including: Brunch, a morning talk show which stars Queer Eye for the Straight Girl's Honey Labrador and former CNN producer/correspondent Scott Withers; On Q Live, a celebrity entertainment talk show; and The Reichen Show, an hour of talk, debate, education, gossip and news hosted by The Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl.

“PlanetOut has been a pioneering force in our community,” Alexis Fish, executive vice president of Q Television Network, explained. “The success of their Internet presence has helped pave the way for today's queer networks by showing us how positively the LGBT audience has responded to information and discussions of topics that affect our lives.” In addition to QTN, PlanetOut has broadband distribution agreements with launch partners here!TV and Sundance Channel.

PlanetOut Inc. media properties include Gay.com, PlanetOut.com and Out & About Travel and recently acquired LPI Media, publishers of The Advocate, Out and Out Traveler magazines.
