My QTV!
Since its launch in August 2006, Quilters TV ("QTV") has been creating and delivering quilting programming 24 hours a day over the Internet. QTV was founded by many of the same people who brought you QNN almost 2 years earlier. We have taken two years of feedback seriously, and are building the ultimate destination portal for quilting in the world. This will not happen overnight, but will evolve from month to month - adding new elements as we go, and as you suggest.
QTV airs quilting programs all day every day, following a programming schedule. New to quilters is the ability to select and view a particular program all day and watch on your own daily schedule. QTV is just like television, except it's on your computer. High speed internet is required to watch the programs. DSL, cable modem, satellite and T-1 connections work well.
And the best part is it's free!
You don't need be a member to watch QTV, however your support will be necessary to help us grow. As soon as it is available, become a member!

About QTV
QTV is The Dynamic Video Community Built for Quilters
Quilters TV, is a fully scheduled affinity market broadcast network delivered on the Internet twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. QTV addresses the quilting industry's need for project-based media by providing pure interest programming to the more than 32 million quilters around the world – a group that serves as the foundation of a $3.6 billion growth industry.
One of the unique features of the network is that programming that has never been available, and would never be available via broadcast or even cable because of its lack of general interest, is now available to people who enjoy the artform. The concentrated delivery of programming 24/7 offers both viewers and advertisers the opportunity to get exactly what they want – viewers get endless ideas and education and advertisers get an extremely targeted enthusiastic audiance.
QTV's technology infrastructure is powered by Atlanta-based ZeelTV, LLC, and the QTV production team has created over 200 quilting programs since 2005, and is continuing to make more every month. We love making the programming and enjoy meeting the talented quilting teachers and designers.
