Gay TV coming to the Triad?
The Financial Times reports today that Time Warner Cable granted Q Television, a gay station, a "hunting license."
That means that the station can approach the company's 30 regional divisions to ask for distribution.
"So far, that has brought Q to such diverse markets as Manhattan, Houston and as of this month -- Lincoln, Nebraska," said the FT.
Raleigh added Q earlier this month, according to spokesman for the Raleigh division, Brad Phillips.
It comes in on digital channel 480 and can be purchased for $7.95 as an add on to existing packages. It also comes bundled as part of a premium package.
Could the Triad be next? If Lincoln -- and Raleigh are adding Q, I have a hard time thinking the Triad wouldn't.
A local spokesman for Time Warner said he knows of no plans to add the channel. I have a call into Charlotte.
