World Television Group is delighted to announce that the UK Government's Foreign and Commonwealth Office has announced its intention, subject to contract, to award the British Satellite News (BSN) contract to World Television.

This contract, expected to run from October 2005, is for three years with a further two year option period.

The BSN service provides daily news stories about Britain to around 440 broadcasters around the world, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. It is one of the world's most successful public diplomacy news services.

Jon King, Group CEO, says 'This confirms World Television as one of the premier news producers in the world. We provide the highest quality editorial and technical service for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office which meets their communication objectives and the needs of global broadcasters. Winning this major contract is testament to the talent, production excellence and hard work of our team. We look forward to the development of the BSN service in the future.'

I did not like the look of the drop today explosive but who knows on little volume, it may have been a trader that lost their nerve or time just ran out.

I think they will give this trading statement out on Monday.

Fingers crossed that it will be good.

LONDON (AFX) - World Television Group PLC said it expects to make an EBITDA profit before exceptionals in the first half after achieving revenues of approximately 4.8 mln stg in the period.Underlying revenues declining by 2.5 pct, the group said.However, it added that revenues were 'held back' primarily due to reduced spending from a major client in the Corporate TV business in the UK in the second quarter. World Television said it expects to write-back 496,000 stg in the period against the provision for a tax claim concerning Tornado Group, and this exceptional credit will enhance both EBITDA and pretax profits.Earlier today the company announced the appointment of Stephen Kirk as non-executive chairman with effect from Sept 1, replacing retiring chairman Michael Neville.newsdesk@afxnews.comtcCOPYRIGHTCopyright AFX News Limited 2005.

Sp looks ok to me Bizpak, could always be better. And finally Stephen Kirk to replace Michael Neville..... Now currently not sure if thats good news or not!!

BIZPACK - 26 Jul 2006 20:54 - 122 of 251

I think replacing M.Neville is the best thing they could have done explosive,and S.Kirk comes with a good history. I think this is just what WTV needed, as its now running under its own steam. All they have got to do now is increase the sales and marketing team and up and away it will go.

I think the CEO has done a great job having sorted out the group.Got rid of all the loss making stuff, hence turnover drop in first half.

I had a look at the webcast this evening, and I must say it looks pretty slick.

I think profits will grow from here and its undervalued. I might buy a few more if it drops back a bit.

skyhigh - 26 Jul 2006 21:25 - 123 of 251

still grim though isn't it !

sp to fall further...tons and tons of excess shares to mop up...might top up when offer hits .006p..

skyhigh - 27 Jul 2006 14:51 - 124 of 251

Still grim isn't it ! How crap is this share...just keeps falling away... bid down again

BIZPACK - 27 Jul 2006 20:38 - 125 of 251

Just the Market Makers taking the p***, as the volume was only 270k skyhigh.less than 1,400.00 takes the company down 3.2%. I also see they have done a deal with Intercall in Australia.

Looks very good news, it is a pity they do not do a market RNS to announce these things. My guess is they want the sp to remain low until the new chairman arrives.

Still skyhigh, did you not mean to say 0.60 and not .006p?

explosive - 16 Aug 2006 21:28 - 126 of 251

Maybe time to write another email to the CEO.... Anyone any questions?

BIZPACK - 22 Aug 2006 14:49 - 127 of 251

Yes, I have one or two explosive,

How many sales personal do they have and would it not help to generate turnover, to increase the number of sales people?

Are the sales team on commission, if not why not?

Do the current team not need support or replacing as they do not seem to have done a very good job, otherwise turnover would have increased in H1.

moneyman - 12 Sep 2006 17:51 - 128 of 251

Looks like it could be the time to buy some of these.

BIZPACK - 12 Sep 2006 19:49 - 129 of 251

moneyman, I was saying that a few months ago but look what happened. The results on the 20th September must now be the reason for the pick-up.

I have thought them to be undervalued for some time. With luck they will go to at least 2p

explosive, did you ever send that e-mail?

skyhigh - 12 Sep 2006 20:36 - 130 of 251

No.. there'll probably go back down again. always does.Be surprised if they break out of sub 1p and stay there. there are too many shares sloshing around. imo

explosive - 13 Sep 2006 22:11 - 131 of 251

Nope never got round to it, to be honest not really looked at these for a while now as watching some other oilies drifting interestingly low.

BIZPACK - 15 Sep 2006 21:12 - 132 of 251

explosive, with the results and trading statement around the corner, I notice the MM are keeping a wide spread and seem to have cleared all the lowest priced stock they had on their books.

I would be surprised if the new chairman did not buy soon after the results along with the FD. Hence keeping any news away from the market of new contracts and clients. I am sure that the recovery is underway and will continue, how long before its fully reflected in the price is another matter.

Most holders must have a high average, its likely they will be averaging down on good news rather than looking for an exit. So I cannot see any stop, other than MM shakes before 1.5p or even just below 2p.

I am going to buy a few more before results because sentiment and history has kept this well below market value for a company turning almost 10 million with growth around the world about to explode in this sector. They are well positioned, with offices in Australia as well as Europe to add growth and all the mess of the past now behind it.

Fred1new - 15 Sep 2006 21:17 - 133 of 251

Probably, announce a consolidation of shares with the same spread. Looks good, but is B. awful.



explosive - 17 Sep 2006 01:34 - 134 of 251

Bizpack, company is moving into profit or so it would seam looking back at recent announcements. Frustating why we've not seen any RNS in relation to new contracts I agree. The sp may be slipping however going on available news the only reason for this must me lack of news. I see the lows as potential buys, we must now be close to having a good client base! My only concern lies with the products, there demand within a fairly small market and the markets ability to grow with competition.

explosive - 17 Sep 2006 01:34 - 135 of 251

Oh and a last minute getaway off to Antwerp, Belgium in a few hours, fingers crossed for some news whilst I'm away! Back in a week or so.

BIZPACK - 19 Sep 2006 20:18 - 136 of 251

Big day for WTV tomorrow with pep talk expected from the new chairman and the road map to the future being displayed with a webcast pep talk from the CEO along with WTV`s first profit.

I topped a few up the other day as I expect the new chairman will either be buying stock in the company to inject cash along with the FD or will be buying in the market.

My view is the former will apply, as the CEO did this at a premium earlier this year.

Then I expect them to use the cash to open new offices in Hong Kong or Sinapore, and build growth, that in turn will go straight to the bottom line and start delivering the profits that so many investors have waited a long long time for.

Stephen Kirk has a backgound of selling companies to News International, so will soon add value.

BIZPACK - 20 Sep 2006 19:29 - 137 of 251

Just got in and checked the results and watched the webcast. All it now needs is one or two new contracts and it will be up and away making the 10-15% they suggest for 2007, which at worst means a profit of 1 million +.

Very undervalued even though they have a loan note outstanding for 1 million. As this loan was from the concert party they will have no intention of calling it as they own over 50% of the company.

If your not in, I can see no better time to be in as the new chairman has just purchased 50k of new stock @ 0.8p well above the current offer.

In addition he has a great record.

Hope you had a good trip explosive.

explosive - 26 Sep 2006 21:22 - 138 of 251

Thanks Bizpack and yes we had a great time. I agree with your comments above, profits have to be just round the corner and WTV are on a verge of a turn around. Its a sit back share and thats just what I intend to do!

BIZPACK - 01 Oct 2006 13:44 - 139 of 251

Explosive,

Not much longer to wait before we start to hear much more positive news for sure.


Good to hear you enjoyed your trip.
