Q Television Network, Inc. CEO Lloyd Fan Appoints Carol Hinnant to President and Consolidates QTN Headquarters

Moves Mark First Steps in Restructuring and Growth of Groundbreaking GLBT Network

BURBANK, Calif., March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Standing firm by his pledge to strengthen and maximize the network's business model, Lloyd Fan has announced his first executive appointment since becoming Chairman and CEO of Triangle Multimedia Limited, Inc and its subsidiary, Q Television Network (QTN) . He has upped Carol Hinnant -- formerly QTN Vice President, Sales & Marketing -- to the post of President, a move that will help position the network for long-term viability while nurturing and building on its business and community relationships.

Fan has also announced the closing of Triangle Multimedia Limited Inc.'s former Palm Springs headquarters, which had been maintained as a home base of operations for the network's previous executive staff. Triangle's operations have been consolidated, with all business now generated from QTN's Burbank studio location.

These moves -- which come just six days after Triangle announced the resignation of its board of directors -- mark Fan's first steps in his plans to restructure and revitalize Triangle's subsidiary, QTN, the groundbreaking GLBT network. Since taking over as CEO, he has listened to both members of the GLBT community and the shareholder base, working diligently to analyze both the current organization and begin making necessary changes.

"This is a vital, promising network that has unfortunately experienced some growing pains. In her new role, Carol will be a tremendous benefit to QTN, as she has the background and relationships to help lead us in the right direction," said Fan. "However, the restructuring of QTN is a major undertaking, and we have a long way to go. I want to express my gratitude to all employees, vendors and community members for their support while we work through this transitional period."

Added Hinnant: "I accepted this role knowing we had a lot of work ahead of us. QTN not only has a very loyal audience of viewers but also has many respected partners and affiliates deserving of answers to their questions. It is our goal to deliver transparency to this company and fulfill some of the promises made by former management."

As QTN's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Hinnant played an integral role in building the network's presence in the cable television marketplace. Hinnant is a 15-year veteran of the cable programming industry, having held senior management positions with HBO, Inc. and Jones Media Network, Inc. (JMN) and Here!, Hinnant began her career as a paralegal at the Houston, Texas based law firm, Hutchison & Grundy and quickly excelled into the management ranks of a public company when joining General Homes Corporation, Inc. as Director of the Legal Department.
