26 May 2005 World Television Group Contract Win

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. There will be an uplift in value to fund additional news story production compared with the previous contract. World Television has been providing this service for BSN under a previous contract which expires on 30 September 2005. The new contract was won against strong competition from leading broadcast news providers following a demanding tender process.

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.'

Stephen Kirk, non-executive Chairman of World Television, commented: 'I'd like
to thank Andy and Peter for their contribution as executives to World

to offer the benefit of their experience as non-executives from the new year.
I'd also like to welcome Jim Hall to the Board and we look forward to further
developments to our technical strategy and product range under his guidance."

explosive, did you know that Steve Garvey was one of the speakers at the Expo that was held at the Copthorne Tara Hotel London 12-13 October 2006.

A friend that attended told me that he got a very positive impression from Steve that things were going very well.

Maybe they will be posting more info on the WTV website very soon that might restore some confidence, as the shares have been oversold.

explosive - 18 Oct 2006 19:27 - 144 of 251

I did know yes, Steve always gives a good impression so wouldn't take much away from that. Agree share price is overweight, expecting to see an '06 profit .6m pretax I'm looking for. Happy to hold for now although news very thin. Having said this were still on the right track even if not chugging along at the best of speeds.

IR clients win awards for IR excellence

World Television is thrilled that a number of its clients won prestigious awards in Real IR magazines recent Thomson Extel Survey. The ceremony was held in London last month and celebrated investor relations excellence.

We are really pleased that we have been able to play our part in helping our clients achieve this success. These are companies who are pro-active in using the latest technology to communicate their message and these awards are a reflection of that, said Steve Garvey, Chief Executive Officer at World Television.

The awards are a genuine gold standard event for Europe's IR professionals and are the only truly pan-European rating and ranking of investor relations teams.

World Television has produced 28 webcasts, plus CEO interviews, investor videos and media relations campaigns for the winning companies so far in 2006, which have proved to be key components in their award-winning IR campaigns.

Among the winners are:

Actelion: Best IR team in Biotechnology
- Have won the category for the last four years

BAA: Best IR team in Transport
- The second year running BAA has won this category

Nestle SA: Best in Food Manufacturing
- Beat 2004 and 2005 winner Group Danone

Looks like volume is out for quality, mind you if it also boosts marketing a good thing in my book!!

BIZPACK - 25 Oct 2006 20:21 - 145 of 251

explosive do you think a double bottom has now been formed on the charts, and can you tell me how you arrive at the profit of 0.6m. I thought it would be around 0.75m.

explosive - 26 Oct 2006 20:07 - 146 of 251

Hi Bizpack, my .6m came from the Interim Results which stated Group P/L a/c operating profit of 306K to 30.06.06 (unaudited 6 months). Consolidated statement of total recognised gains and losses for the half year ended 30.06.06 profit / loss for the period of 297K, I've simply gone with a 300K per six month ball park figure based on the statement that trading has continued as expected to predict .6m profit at year end before tax and other items.... Having said this your .75m looks better with the disposal of the Kamera holding to add a further .146m ontop of the .6m I am already forecasting. This .146m I hadn't factored in...

I imagine you came to your .75m in pretty much the same way?

Regarding the double bottom question, I pay little attention to the charts,



As you can see on the above chart the upper indicator being Bollinger Brands does show a double bottom, but the sp seams to find its support at these levels. All in all the interest is there we just need a positive finish to the year, small profit and some long term orderbook would be a very good start to build confidence.

BIZPACK - 31 Oct 2006 20:28 - 147 of 251

Big volume today explosive.

Is there something cooking at long last.

explosive - 01 Nov 2006 19:56 - 148 of 251

Apart from the below broker sentiment, I know of nothing. Maybe they have bought some Euromillions tickets with pettey cash!!

moneyman - 01 Nov 2006 21:55 - 149 of 251

Possibly people buying because the stock looks very oversold

BIZPACK - 05 Nov 2006 10:42 - 150 of 251

No follow through, so back in the doldrums it went for the rest of the week.

Oversold but nobody loves AIM stocks anymore.

The directors do not seem to care how low the sp goes.

Maybe next week.

live in hope.

explosive - 05 Nov 2006 22:37 - 151 of 251

Its all a waiting game now!

This year should show profit. If it does the board then must gear itself to get sales. We just need for some corporates to adopt world televisions methods of media and were in business. We have already received some good projects and feedback looks good. The sector as a whole should see organic growth which is where we'll capitalise. I suppose like anything new it takes awhile to become a standard, at least we're not making a loss!!

BIZPACK - 07 Nov 2006 20:17 - 152 of 251

Glad your so positive explosive, having just looked at the last two days trades it would seem the rest of the world does not agree with you or me either.

My trades might not add to much but everyone of them is in the red.

I shall not be adding to my small pile but hope things improve before long and bring a bit of Christmas spirit with it.

explosive - 07 Nov 2006 20:42 - 153 of 251

Lets hope then that the rapid growth in revenue from coporate IPTV services has continued.

BIZPACK - 09 Nov 2006 20:29 - 154 of 251

Volume up again, could this be the company that Ten Alps are in talks with?

moneyman - 10 Nov 2006 15:18 - 155 of 251

Large trade gone through and had to pay a premium to the published offer.

explosive - 10 Nov 2006 23:00 - 156 of 251

All received email from Steve Garvey today as per the below. Let me know if anyone would like it to be forwarded. Total staff numbers however is 98 of which 30% work in Production, 22% Sales, 13% Technical, 13% BSN, 8% Finance, 6% Admin, 4% Management, 2% World Images and 1% Marketing.

Hi John,

Sorry you didn't get the PDFs, you should have done so I'll ask one of our marketing team to make sure you get them this time. There is additional material to what is available on the website and we'll get it to you.

As for directors' holdings, I bought 100k of shares early this year. If I do increase my stake, I'll have to announce it to the market first so I'm afraid I can't comment.

I've attached a spreadsheet showing the departmental breakdown for employees.

Best regards,
Steve

moneyman - 10 Nov 2006 23:11 - 157 of 251

Sounds like a Dear John to me ;-)

LOL

Thanks

BIZPACK - 11 Nov 2006 15:42 - 158 of 251

Very informative explosive, thanks.

It was a change to see a larger trade at a good premium.

Since that sell of three million the other week, there has been a lot more buys than sells.

Is sentiment changing towards AIM stocks at long last?

explosive - 14 Nov 2006 20:03 - 159 of 251

Two 5 mil buys today at virualy the same time.

BIZPACK - 14 Nov 2006 20:56 - 160 of 251

explosive, they must be a rollover not two buys but I am not sure where all the stock has come from of late, if they are buys that are being covered up to look like a rollover, then they have been well worked by the MM.

Having checked the trades over the last couple of months, many of the trades seem out of place, for example last Friday, it looks like there were about two million picked up at between 0.54 and 0.60p

It also, seems very odd that a premium was paid (0.65p)for over one million last week but it never moved the price.

I think something very big is going on and we should get news about it in the next few days.



A takeover or MBO?


If so, what price?

explosive - 14 Nov 2006 21:30 - 161 of 251

Who knows the company had a market cap of 5.5 mil in September with the Brewin research @ a sp of .65. 12 month target was 1.4. The company looks to break even or make a small profit for this year so all ideas are feasible! Lets see if an RNS follows.
