Porn Valley- I had been told a long time ago that the very name KSEX was a turnoff to sponsors.

But that didn’t change the fact that owner Jon Belinkie told ex-program director Lorrainiac [she resigned a couple of weeks ago] that a monkey could do her job.

Belinkie had been cautioned that if he lost Lorrainiac and Soxxx, he wouldn’t have a business. Lorrainiac’s departure pretty much sealed the fate of the station.

Another thing that was perhaps KSEX’s undoing was the system of Catch e-mail where Belinie saw all the sales correspondence. Every time VP Joe Brandi [he left the station right before Christmas] would have a new relationship going with a sponsor, Belinkie would try to jump in and take over.

In a situation with Girls Gone Wild, an account which Brandi brought to the table, Belinkie wrote the compnay an e-mail introducing himself, stating that Brandi was no longer with the company and that he’d love to continue doing business with them.

Belinkie got a reply from Girls Gone Wild which stated, “Hi, John, thank you very much. Merry Christmas. Please pull all our ads in January.”

On another occasion, Mark from SexDate Network was apparently sent a “forged” contract. His signature was affixed to a contract that said he was advertising until November, 2008. Mark claimed he never signed the contract. And Belinkie always swore that there must have been a mistake involved and that he would straighten it out. KSEX wound up losing that advertiser.

Pink Visual, a paid sponsor until December 31st of this past year, sent Belinkie an e-mail telling him they didn’t want to continue advertising at the current rate but if he had a smaller package they might be interested. In turn, Belinkie, in a huff, told Brandi to yank all the company’s ads, regardless of the fact that they were entitled to ads until the end of the year.

There was also a pending deal with UFC that would have girls bringing fighters into the ring, the girls wearing KSEX T-shirts. A fact you couldn’t discount considering the pay-per-view and DVD business exposure.

Belinkie again intruded on the deal and subsequently got in a fight with the owner of UFC. Belinkie essentially told the owner to go fuck himself and sent him a picture of his asshole. The owner relayed the fact that he would kill Belinkie. From that point the deal was off and perhaps was the beginning of the end for KSEX.

Belinkie had also been telling people that KSEX was worth $1.3 million although KSEX was losing something like $20,000 a month.

One time Brandi had a conversation with Belinkie who was talking to him on a speaker phone. Belinkie was driving. His wife was in the car. Belinkie’s wife began screaming at Brandi who cautioned her not to speak to him like that.

Brandi then advised her that every time her husband opened his mouth that she ought to slap him in the back of the head because he had no idea of what he was doing with the running of KSEX.

“You hate this business don’t you?” Brandi asked her. She goes, “Yeah, I can’t stand this business. I hate everybody in it.” Then she began defending her husband’s business creds. She was told this may be so when it comes to insurance but that he didn’t know anything about the adult business and that he was blowing business deals left and right.
