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.'

explosive, the date for the news has been set for 27 April, so I expect that someone is collecting for that date.If it`s not that, then you could be correct as the MM must be expecting a number of T10 traders to start buying Tues onwards. If WTV were to flag a contract before results, this could go the balistic.

The chart looks as though it about to breakout, and if its anything like it was before it looks as though it will knock on the door of 2p before the results without any news.

Bizpack - Post 27, my sentimates exactly.. Also les not forget that Steve Garvey on the 23/02/06 bought 6.4 million shares @ 1p and also bought a further 1.8 million from Andrew Booth and Peter Sibley alike. Thats a cool 10m @ 100K investment.

Brewin Dolphin Securities have WTV as a buy.

explosive, Just took a look at todays trades and I see a decent size buy of 500,000. A few more like that and it might move before results.

News does not seem to be leaking out from the company, otherwise we should expect to see either more sells or buys as the case might be.

If they released news to the market instead of on the world-television website it might help. Why, do they do so little to promote the business to the market?

Hi Bizpack, I suppose that WTV are currently busy with promoting their services, podcast seams to be growing at the moment a service WTV supply to PR Newswire and the European Space Agency. This technology will be big business in the future. Currently mobile communication is on the rise and I believe that wi-fi will eventuly rule. Podcast is perfectly positioned to supply the growing media demand however WTV need to be well positioned with contracts in place or will ultimatly lose out. Lets not forget 3GP is also an established technology capable of delivering the same thing with one disadvantage being people don't like paying for air time!!

explosive, One only has to look at moneyam to see the webcast/podcast has arrived. I am surprised that more investors have not cottoned onto the possible growth that PR Newswire will bring to the company.

there was some research recently re podcasts that was revealing in that it suggested that although it was growing in peoples perceptions and the growth of content was there, the connection between those downloading and listening was actually relatively low. It is an important aspect but caution should be applied as to its future. Clearly there will be a difference between people downloading audio info / reports and the like as opposed to the home made dj/ranting etc.

WTV need to continue to keep a wide range of suitable and potential methods for distributing information.

Global, I appreciate that currently useage is low, however as wi-fi and mobile connetivity grows I think so will webcast/podcast.

If anyones wondering what PODCAST is then below should enlighten you.

Subscribing to podcasts allows a user to collect programs from a variety of sources for listening or viewing either online or off-line through a portable device, whenever and wherever it is convenient. In contrast, traditional broadcasting provides only one source at a time, and the time is broadcaster-specified. While podcasts are gaining ground on personal sites and blogs, they are not yet widespread. One easy way to find podcasts is to use the Podcast Directory in iTunes; these automatically-updated podcasts can then be synchronised to a portable multimedia device, such as an MP3 player, for off-line listening.

"Streaming" files from the Internet can remove the specified-time restriction, but still offers only one source at a time, and requires the user to be connected to the Internet while playing the files. The ability to "aggregate" programs from multiple sources is a major part of the attraction of podcast-listening. Unlike podcasts, streaming also can be used to broadcast live events over the Internet at the moment they occur. Although streamed programs, like broadcast radio signals, can be recorded or captured by the receiver, their transient nature distinguishes them from podcast episodes, which arrive in already-archived form. (This difference may make a podcast legally distinct from a webcast or streamed media file.)

OK so Apple is already in, Microsoft are currently looking at podcasting (to the best of my knoledge) and Sony have the means to also exploit webcasting/podcasting with their portable PSP wi-fi unit. Lets not forget that gamers could also get into podcasting, while data is currently received as either video or sound there's no reason why this couldn't be extended for other uses!! Like I've already mentioned 3GP (Mobile phone technology) especially series 60 complient uses streaming and blogs, as the technology improves so will the usage. Podcasts could well replace or co-inside with 3GP!

explosive, I admire the way you have clearly set out, to those that do not fully grasp, what PODCASTING is.

One very important point is that Microsoft have been working with WTV, if you check the http/www.world-television.com site, and dig around a little. In fact, I would not be surprised to hear more about this with results.

WTV moved up 4% yesterday, so more of the same I expect as we move to results.

Hi Bizpack, thanks for your post 34. Yes I was aware that WTV and Microsoft had signed a contract however haven't seen the specifics. If you have any furhter info on this could you please post for me.
Staying with Podcasting and contracts I suspect that the deal with O2 is also for Podcasting (Please note, SPECULATION on my part and not fact). Now, Apple lead the way with Podcasts, competitor to Microsoft, O2 also on board, will O2s competition Vodaphone, Orange & T-Mobile also want a slice of this for their customer base? If I remember correctly it was O2 that first took the plunge with WAP and the others followed. Will history repeat itself with Podcasting.

And finally 23.81% rise on the bid price today upto 1.22........ Wish I'd bought a few more now!!

explosive, thats just whats going to take place on Monday with this. At least my total holding is now in profit.

I think they are very short of stock and will have to run the price up and down with a few shakes to get what they need, so I am going to hold on and not allow them to shake me out to early and miss the real profit as I have often done in the past.



I also noticed that Kamera. com did a deal in Korea and WTV still own 10% of the business and supply services to it.

It should be an exciting week, wish I could watch it and not work.

Nothing new... but... perhaps first half of2006 is going better than expected ?

"The Board believes the Company can look forward to the first half of 2006 with
confidence, especially since this period is traditionally the stronger half in
our market.

World Television expects to announce preliminary results for the year ended 31
December 2005 on Thursday 27 April 2006."

skyhigh, you say nothing new, I think there has been a lot new since that statement but they never announced it to the market as none of the deals amounted to more than 10% of previous years turnover. Put them together and I think you will find they might add up to more than 20% increase, and maybe even more to follow.

My view is that the last broker note made it clear they were undervalued and the market is just catching up on the news before results.

I think we saw take off on Friday and expect it to reach at least 2p before results on Thursday and higher after.

I`ll try to pop in tomorrow lunch time and see how its going.

Almost 40% of global companies expect to boost their budget for online media in 2006 in order to communicate more effectively both internally and externally [Source: 3rd Annual IMS Enterprise Web Communications Survey].

Another thought! IBM ON DEMAND......

Explosive, I see a fair volume has changed hands. when you consider the jump on Friday its not bad that its held onto a bit of it. Pity though there is not more interest.

Hi Bizpack, looks to me like the volumes have been growing everyweek. As a long term investment WTV has great potential so interest will follow slowly until the technology either is accepted as standard or a "better" is found. I'm up a nice 30% now so will need to evaluate this stock soon and think about stop losses.

Far to early to think of that explosive, I must shoot off to work but we could see more buying in the run up to Thur.

explosive, I see a stake of 3% has been disclosed. Impressive, before results even announced. Someone must have a lot of confidence that the outlook is positive.

I also looked at todays trades and I noticed the buys were at full ask but the offer has since dropped. The conclusion, I have come too on that, is that the market makers that have dropped the offer must be very short of stock. Sounds crazy, I know but for the sake of selling a couple of hundred thousand shares they seem to have wanted to give the false impression that they have a big seller. Well no T trades after close, so they must be hoping to pick up a bit of stock from investors that loose thier nerve but are sitting on a small profit.

Expect a bit of a shake tomorrow or a quick rise and fall to shake more stock out before the results. I`ll be surprised if they want to be short before then. I expect they will want a pretty level book.

Do you know anything about Bisson Ltd? Who are they?

Evening Bizpack - What a stressful day at work, actully its been pretty crap for months now so I decided to hand in my notice today! Amazing an instant feel better remedy..... Anyway back to business.

Bissons Limited or better known as bissons.com, they are an IT company in the channel islands. Take a look at www.bissons.com, this 6 year old company supplies just about everything you can think of on-line, security, domaines, hosting, data protection etc. Perfect for WTV's Podcast technology, having said that both business complement each other as WTV's media and Podcasting is an ideal way for Bissons to also get some needed market exposure. Good news today!

i think you'll find we've now turned the corner
good luck tomorrow

Secured 85 new client wins including BAA, Virgin Mobile, Toyota, O2 & Microsoft UK

Mike Neville, Chairman of World Television has decided to step down after 3 years in the role

Mike Neville, chairman of World Television commented:

"2005 was a year of considerable progress for World Television. We secured 85 new clients and delivered over 10,000 projects across 35 countries in 15 languages, more thaT ever before. We achieved substantial cost savings, well above expectations, and disposed of two loss-making businesses. At the same time we began the process of developing new digital services.
"Restructuring is now complete and I look forward to 2006 with some optimism.
Our focus will be on improving the Group's profitability, particularly at the eBITDA level, to ensure a sustainable platform for growth in shareholder value.
"I have hugely enjoyed my time as Chairman, beginning in 2003 when Virtue Broadcasting was wholly focused on webcasting, had turnover from continuing operations of approximately 0.7m and was incurring significant losses. Now the group has a solid foundation from which to develop to the next stage.
"I leave World Television in the hands of a strong management team. I would like to thank my fellow Board members and World Television's highly professional and creative people for their support and hard work."

Steve Garvey, Group CEO, commented:
"Mike has provided outstanding leadership since joining Virtue, during some very difficult times. Under his guidance the Group has grown rapidly from webcasting to providing a comprehensive range of televisual communications services. We can now build on the international market-leading business that Mike has helped to create."


Outlook for 2006

In 2006 we are focusing on further improvements in the Group's profitability, particularly at the EBITDA level, to ensure a sustainable platform for growth in shareholder value. Trading in the first quarter has been in line with our budget and market expectations, and the Directors are confident about trading prospects for the remainder of the year.
The Group's future prosperity lies in the continued development of market-leading technology combined with the creative flair needed to produce compelling and effective content. We intend to consolidate the Group's position as an international leader in IP television for our target clients, and we intend to broaden the client base further to reduce the risk of over-dependence on certain key relationships. Our product development programme underpins the Group's ability to grow internationally as we develop new markets and expand our service offering in existing markets.
