    pinktv out of money

    Hey guys and gals,

    I heard that pinktv blew through all of their money after Internext

    they also had 11,000 dollars worth of liquor left over and are having trouble paying their staff and contract girls...

    does anyone know more of this or have heard mroe about it?

    Thanks

        I had heard that they had huge amounts of investor money - some $400,000 bucks for the party and went through it all by Internext

        suprised they didnt make any money with the $8 dollar drinks they were charging at the party after midnight

            You still have to do Volume @ 8 a drink, Too bad they got rained out, which didnt help matters

              Who would budget all of their capital on a convention? I would think they would have some left for daily operations, no?

                We had a party the same night www.webmasterinsomnia.com and I was counting on them taking half of the internext attendees. that didnt happen and all the sudden the club I had reserved for 600 people to drink all night became a head count of 1200 people. Thank god the club was happy at the end of the night and didnt ask for more money!

                  I must be out of the loop or they are an upstart, but who in the hell is pinktv and what do they do?

                    budgeting most any capital on a convention before you're operational in this game honestly is insane and shows no business sence.

                    I'll bet AVN's smiling and saying - there's no sweeter money than stupid money!

                      Yeah seems like a shame, they had a nice booth but it was in an absolutely awful location right near the back. Some of our staff went to their party and said it wasn't fantastic and decided to head over to the Webmaster Insomnia Party...

                      That is too bad that things didn't work out for them after spending so much money on promotion...

                                      A lot of companies do that... throw extravagant parties, then go out of business.

                                      Of course, I haven't seen anything official on this one, so I'm not convinced that it's true.

                                            I was thinking the same thing - I was sitting with one of the pinktv guys at poker, he didn't talk much (or at all) - I didn't know what pinktv was either. I figured it was just another studio start up. What do they do? Set top box's like DaveTV and Xtv?

                                              although they did steal our name, so if they disappear at least they did some good marketing for the pink team & flashcash with their banners and whatnot. :P

I figured it was just another studio start up. What do they do? Set top box's like DaveTV and Xtv?
                                                    I went by their booth and they kept giving me passes to their party saying it was gonna be the best. Not once did they tell me what their company or product was about and even now visiting their site, I still don't know what its about. LOL. What a great waste of money that was

                                                          Webmaster Insomnia Party - Any pics of the gang bang?

                                                          that was sooo much better and club deep = theses go hand in hand

                                                          from what I heard they are doing live feeds like playboy tv in three countries but I would rather go to spreadingthepink.com than pinktv.com

                                                          any one heard anymore news on this?

                                                                          I think you all have been heavily misinformed. Pink TV is alive and well and healthy as ever. We hope you all enjoyed the summer Internext Party. We threw the Party to introduce ourselves. Many of you don't know what we do and we know that. When the time is right you will know us, I can assure you. All of our 30 staff both in Miami and Prague are working very hard in preparation of our public launch. You must all keep in mind that we do not have an affiliate program, nor do we want one. As this is the case it is understandable that many of you don't understand why we spent so much on an affiliate driven show. Nevertheless, just thought I'd throw our 2 cents out there. See you at the January Internext-- We are the corporate sponsor!

                                                                          Kind Regards,

                                                                                          I heard that pinktv blew through all of their money after Internext

                                                                                          they also had 11,000 dollars worth of liquor left over and are having trouble paying their staff and contract girls...

                                                                                          does anyone know more of this or have heard mroe about it?

                                                                                          Thanks

                                                                                          You work with Azure, so I assume your information comes from a model that we have both shot. As Azure only shoots models that never made the cut with us, I doubt you were fed accurate info. The girl was probably pissed off becuase Pink TV didn't want her. The truth is we have over 15k worth of liquer left and we're saving it for the next Party you won't be invited too.

                                                                                          Kind Regards,
