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.'

Trading Update


As the Company approaches its financial year end at the end of this month, the
Board reiterates its expectation made at the time of the interim results in
September that the second half of the year will experience revenue growth of
between 4% and 5% compared with 2005. The Company expects to issue more
information in its trading update in February 2007.


Convertible Loan Notes


The outstanding Loan Notes, which were issued in November 2004, fall due for
redemption at an amount of approximately 1.28 million by 31 May 2007, in the
event that the holders of these Loan Notes do not exercise the conversion rights
(into Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 1p per share) which attach to the
Loan Notes.

The Board is actively reviewing options for resolving the Loan Notes in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders. Further announcements will be
made as and when developments occur.


Stephen Kirk, non-executive Chairman of World Television, commented: 'I'd like
to thank Andy and Peter for their contribution as executives to World
Television's growth since they founded the company in 1991. They will continue
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,todays news shows that Brewins are still bunch of tossers and must have been paid by WTV I guess, to put out another note to that effect after all the other they did years ago suggesting 6p.

It looks like holders with get screwed once again.

maestro - 21 Dec 2006 20:21 - 167 of 251

this company is a joke...to think i bought at 3p ish...

skyhigh - 21 Dec 2006 21:02 - 168 of 251

Me too bought in at 3pish many years ago.. not worth me selling up...yes we've been shafted and the company is a joke and we've been screwed etc., etc, lets hope 2007 is better for us (some hope I guess!)

BIZPACK - 22 Dec 2006 15:12 - 169 of 251

Having got in at a much lower rate than most of you, I hold out a little hope in view that they seem to forecast a true profit for 2007 and not just EBITDA. So with luck and a few good contracts I might make a profit, if the loan gets sorted in a way that does not damage the sp.

explosive - 27 Dec 2006 19:13 - 170 of 251

Well looking on the bright side this year was the first year that the Queens speech has ever been done on a podcast. Also www.bbc.co.uk seams to have more podcasts than ever before indicating a thumbs up for the technology. This share has always been about will the technology catch on! WTV seam to be holding their own and it'll only take a few good contract wins before the possibility of WTV being taken over, in the meantime its a costs game to ensure we breakeven.

I'm also in far below many others and averaging well under the 1p mark. For those in above 3p I wish you well but won't hold my breath your break even in this decade.

BIZPACK - 28 Dec 2006 17:22 - 171 of 251

explosive, I see it is back at a low again. It looks like a double bottom.

This has got to be the growth stock for 2007. Have you seen the last webcast on the company website?

All that is holding them back it seems, is the sorting out the loan note.

To me it looked like a HOUSE FOR SALE NOTICE as they expect to make profits in 2007.

I am sure we will hear a lot more early in the new year.

moneyman - 28 Dec 2006 21:20 - 172 of 251

As long as they get the bond issue sorted this will multibag.

explosive - 02 Jan 2007 19:09 - 173 of 251

Nothing has really changed regarding loan notes except Sibley and Booth have stepped down. The notes generate 5% p/a and directors agreed to hold until 31st May '07. So the recent sp drop may well represent fear and change. All the same I don't this a time to further buy as I can neither see Sibley looking to sell at these prices. Something needs to give and we've not seen a contract win in quite some time.

BIZPACK - 06 Jan 2007 12:42 - 174 of 251

Explosive that is just what occured yesterday to the WTV share price. Almost 50% up in a day. It was oversold but do you know of any reason for such a large rise in one day?

Do you think someone knows what deal the concert party have done to take away the fear that has caused this to fall so far?

Will there be a RNS on Monday telling the market?

I look forward to catching up on Monday night to see if this rise continues.

BIZPACK - 08 Jan 2007 20:32 - 175 of 251

Back down again but volume high again. Spoils the excitement of the rise of last week.

explosive - 10 Jan 2007 19:11 - 176 of 251

I'm wondering if WTV did the ESApod on the ESA's two day workshop to discuss the future of Europe's space exploration strategy. This has recently been on the news and is good news for WTV and its 3 year contract with the ESA. The 3 year contract is, to support activities around the world including satellite launches, missions of European astronauts to the International Space Station, planetary exploration and research milestones. This contract was valued at 16/01/06 to be worth 500,000 Euros however with recent announcements I'd have thought the contract value to now be significantly higher. Just a hunch!!

BIZPACK - 11 Jan 2007 19:24 - 177 of 251

Had a look at them explosive but it does not look like they are from WTV. Still, there was a huge amount of work shown on http://www.world-television.se/
if you click on Extra at foot of page.

explosive - 12 Jan 2007 21:36 - 178 of 251

Thanks for your post Bizpack, had a look and the work done looks impressive.

Thread header and research updated (thought it was about time)!!..

BIZPACK - 17 Jan 2007 20:11 - 179 of 251

A few decent buys today at long last. It seems to have turned the corner at long last following those big trades of a couple of weeks ago.

Lets us hope it takes off like RETV did.

moneyman - 18 Jan 2007 10:02 - 180 of 251

moneyman - 18 Jan 2007 11:38 - 181 of 251

Volume is picking up nicely now. Hope we can get back to the 1.1p area.

BIZPACK - 18 Jan 2007 17:42 - 182 of 251

What is the reason for the big buying volume today?

explosive - 18 Jan 2007 18:16 - 183 of 251

Moneyman - Bizpacks post 177 and link shows all days from Dec 8 to Dec 23. A very good link I think with lots of info.

explosive - 18 Jan 2007 18:32 - 184 of 251

I think we will get back to the 1p mark as indicated. Lets not forget if the Loan Notes are not repaid they will be converted to 1p shares. The board said in the December webcast that money was tight so I expect they will want to convert into shares. For the Loan Note holders to accept this deal the sp will need to be around the 1p mark.

BIZPACK - 18 Jan 2007 20:14 - 185 of 251

I think you are wrong there explosive. The loan note holders could do all types of deals, like re-issuing the note under diffrent terms for example, or demanding re-payment, or even cause dilution by only accepting a lower conversion, say .05p.

They could of course have been looking for a partner like pr newswire, following the appointment of the new CTO to buy the note at a discount for example or a swap for equity at a rate that pr might demand.

The only other thing that springs to mind, is a bid from a third party, hence the buying two weeks ago and again today, as it was well over sold.
