Advertise 1. Can anyone advertise on QOTV? No. Only industry and QOTV content related companies/individuals (e.g., musicians, film/videomakers, writers, editors, film festivals, production companies, etc.) can advertise on this website. Why? Studies have shown that web surfers prefer related advertising as opposed to non-related. We also don't want to clutter up the pages or bombard our audience. Health care related organizations/companies, clothing and accessory apparel, gay cruises, are exempt. QOTV reserves the right to decline any advertiser.
2. What about cabaret artists and musicals? Well, you can't get much more gay than a cabaret or musical (regardless of whether it's straight or not), so QOTV considers these forms of entertainment as public services. Cabaret and musical advertisements will be placed on the music page as either GIF/JPEG banners or embedded videos. Gay themed (non-musical) plays will be considered on a case by case basis. Cabaret Artists $100 a week (September/October Special) Musicals $200 a week-- 1 month minimum. (September/October Special - $150 a week)
