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."

the end is nigh.................


If they cancel the aim quote does that mean they will buy up the shares or will we continue to own shares that can only be traded privately?



skyhigh - 26 Apr 2007 10:31 - 224 of 251

Grim isn't it !..
Lesson learnt.. a few yrs ago when it hit 6.5p (when it was VTB) I sold half my holding at about 150% profit and ran the rest ! I should have sold the lot... not worth selling now as it's worth so little..!

Global Nomad - 26 Apr 2007 11:34 - 225 of 251

got myself 300 out this morning from 5k investment in VTB. could have had 500 a day or two back....is this really what bizpack was suggesting?

driver - 26 Apr 2007 15:41 - 226 of 251

This has been on my watch list for about a year should I now take it off bloody shares it took a dive before I bought I do like losing money.

Global Nomad - 26 Apr 2007 16:38 - 227 of 251

if you like loosing money you should have bought them!!

GGekkko - 26 Apr 2007 18:02 - 228 of 251

would any PI's who can pledge support to an action group with good evidence please email names and holdings to wtvaction@gmail.com

thanks

more details are found on advfn.com

the SAG is being managed by Peter Hagerty an ex 3% holder with significant market experience, he believes there is a case, as many others do

BIZPACK - 26 Apr 2007 20:38 - 229 of 251

I have just watched the webcast from the company having looked through the results. How can they get away with this, first they dilute everyone having admitted they have received offers for the company that must have been above the share price that it stood at this morning.

Mine are not worth a light at this price, just as it seems the business is doing well and about to turn a PBT. It seems they have paid the two directors to step down, then they used that money to cover that loan note rip off a few months ago.

It`s not a lot of money to some but a fair amount to me that I have as good as lost because of this.

Can you give us more details here please GGekkko, as I always found that advfn.com had far to many posts to filler through to find anything important.

GGekkko - 27 Apr 2007 08:51 - 230 of 251

biz and any other holders, no matter how small

email wtvaction@gmail.com with your name and holding, how they are held (certificate, broker)

we are collecting a base of those willing to support before taking forward a course of action, its important first that the level of support is established though

this may include action towards the issue at 3.25p where that cash was supposed to be allocated to acquisitions


BIZPACK - 28 Apr 2007 16:49 - 231 of 251

Thank you GGekkko. I hope you manage to get a huge level of support for you action against this corporate action.

I will put an order in tomorrow to support the action group regardless of the price I have to pay. The CP may even sell it to the Action group, if you get sufficent investors willing to take action, even though the CP will get rich because of it.

I hope the press follow this up BIG TIME.

All investors should help with this to help set a standard with AIM company`s

Out the Board.

I'm gonna hold my shares and GGekkko you'll get no support on the wtvaction@gmail.com site from me... I don't want some idiot broker calling me up and advising me to sell like whats been reported already.

Does this conversion really surprise anyone? Think we all knew it would happen. Regarding AIM I'll wait and see.

GGekkko - 01 May 2007 22:39 - 235 of 251

exp thanks for your support

keep the chat going on the new site when you are in as well as these other boards

if you can bring anyone else across, fantastic

BIZPACK - 02 May 2007 20:51 - 236 of 251

Just wanted to bring this to others attention and to the top of the board.

Others should take note of what has happened here and give thier support to this action group.

It could happen to you.

BIZPACK - 04 May 2007 20:47 - 237 of 251

I have just looked over on advfn.com following those larger trades today and I noticed, unlike other SAG`s this one seems to be working away without in-fighting or emotion playing a part.

It would do the market credit if this one were to be successfull, as unlike most they seem to have the leadership together with the rank and file behind them, in addition to a large player that I could possibley be able to fund any action the group desire.


GGekkko - 10 May 2007 12:39 - 238 of 251

thanks bizpack
indeed the group is very organised and there is some real expertise on board

the evidence being collected is weighty and we believe there is a fantastic case to support our cause

BIZPACK - 11 May 2007 19:50 - 239 of 251

Good website ggekkko what you need is a news story to put it in the public eye.

Do you think the action group supporters are the buyers today?

GGekkko - 06 Jun 2007 20:05 - 240 of 251

hello biz, sorry not posted for some time, been very busy along with the other SAG team

good result today, and we did get our news story!

keep spreading the word, and please support with your vote, we are not done yet

euro99 - 20 Jun'07 - 08:01 - 2991 of 2992


Quite interesting this.

The panel phoned me last night to tell me of the ruling, and to ask that details were not released on message boards or communicated to the press pending our appeal. Since we had already given written notice of our intention to appeal the ruling and discussed this on several occasions with the panel executive (it may surprise you, but as we understand it the panel itself has not yet met to consider this - only the "executive" to reconsider their own actions), we agreed to this and kept all discussions with the panel confidential in order to prevent misleading releases to shareholders.

For the record the panel also told me last night that releases made by the company were "wrong" and made "without the consent of the panel" - ie. the releases saying that conversion of shares would require the majority consent of independent shareholders. This will now be the subject of legal action by the shareholders, subject to the decision of the Action Group committee.

We advised the panel that we would continue to deal with them confidentially on condition that the company respected the same rules and no announcement was made that would or could mislead the market.

So, for the record THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN A FORMAL PANEL HEARING - which we REQUESTED IN WRITING ON 1st MAY. There will be an appeal, and until the appeal is heard properly (and we are going to request that it is heard in public) the announcement by the company is STILL SUBJECT TO BEING CHANGED, just as it has been once already.

BIZPACK - 20 Jun 2007 22:32 - 242 of 251

It is good to see someone standing up for small investors at long last.

Good Luck.
