OUTtv Media B.V.

Today, a special morning at HQ FOMO! Today we received Mayor Sharon Dijksma from our town Utrecht. This led to a beautiful and sincere conversation with the mayor of Utrecht about the developments of LGBTQI rights through inclusive storytelling in the media and the role of OUTtv in this. The current anti-LGBTQI rhetoric, which is currently on the rise in the Netherlands (and throughout Europe), and our shared concerns about this were also discussed. All in all a pleasant and substantively strong visit! The mayor indicated that she would like to think with us about how we, as an LGTBQI media company, can contribute to promoting LGBTQI acceptance in the city of Utrecht. OUTtv Media B.V. & Cinemien.

Fifth and last daily report from OUTtv CEO Marc Putman Friday: Amsterdam Dinner and STD Prevention The vote counting went smoothly last night, and my city, Utrecht, had the highest turnout at 55.9% among all the major cities. This trend was also evident at our polling station. It was encouraging to see that pro-EU parties performed better than the polls had indicated. This morning, I have an appointment at the GGD in Amsterdam because the number of STD infections among the gay men demographic has significantly increased in recent years. Particularly, the rise of Chemsex (the use of various drugs during sex) is leading to a higher risk of STDs and HIV. With the GGD, we will discuss increasing education and prevention through our OUTtv and social media channels. In the afternoon, I will speak to our Polish colleague about the progress of our ambition to launch our TV channel in Poland as well. Following the election victory of the Europe-friendly parties in Poland last November, the position of the LGBTI community is no longer being undermined, and this offers a perspective to strengthen our position in this country with more than 40 million inhabitants—especially after our acquisition of the queer film distributor, Tongariro. Some distribution partners now seem willing to introduce our channel, which was impossible until a year ago. I will end the day with a short call with the organization of the Amsterdam Dinner, which will take place tomorrow/Saturday, June 8th at AFAS. This is the largest charity dinner in the Benelux, originated in the 1980s by (gay) restaurateurs to raise funds for research into the rapidly spreading HIV virus. After more than 30 successful editions and a record amount of 1.35 million raised last year, OUTtv will handle the live broadcast of the red carpet and then the recording of this event. Eurovision winner Loreen will perform, and the focus will be on the position of women with HIV. Many notables will be present at the most sought-after dinner of the year, with Princess Mabel of Orange as the hostess. Tomorrow, I will wear my newly acquired badge as a Knight in the Order of Orange for the first time, and it is a yearly highlight for me. I am curious about how this year's theme, "Face The Future," has been incorporated into Princess Mabel’s outfit by designers Victor and Rolf. I am looking forward to a fantastic weekend and am grateful that my work allows me to contribute to increasing the acceptance of our LGBTI target group in our society.

Moreover, with Pride Nights we will offer very interesting programming with stories about the community that will make us reflect,” said Ramón Biarnés, Managing Director of North and South Europe for Cinesa.
