"Q Television is in the unique position of providing its audience with a time and place to find its gay news on a daily basis. It's not about waiting a week or a month for a magazine to be delivered or digging through the newspaper to find one small article buried far from the front pages. No other news outlet, no other television network is doing what we're doing and that's really exciting," said Kmetko. "I'm thrilled by the opportunity to put my experience to use in this forum and to be contributing to that. This is a big step for our community and we're trailblazers."
