YooMedia PLC ('YooMedia' or the 'Group')

Agreement with Gala Group



YooMedia, the AIM-traded interactive media and games group, announces that it is
entering a long term strategic agreement with Europe's largest integrated
betting and gaming operator, Gala Group ('Gala'), involving its gaming channel,
Avago. Under this agreement, Gala is acquiring the Avago brand and associated
intellectual property together with the database of over 250,000 registered
customer accounts.



Gala intends to re-brand the channel and re-launch it by the end of the third
quarter of 2006. YooMedia continues to have a prominent interest in the
business, as well as continuing to provide its interactive gaming portal behind
the channel. The Avago channel is currently available on Sky Digital, channel
181, and will launch on NTL as the first 'live' presented interactive gaming
channel on UK cable in early 2006.



The terms of the agreement for YooMedia include an asset sale consideration, an
ongoing share of gaming revenues, and support and development contracts across
the initial period of in excess of three years. It is expected that the
financial benefit to YooMedia will be a net income contribution of between 5.1m
and 8.05m, depending on performance of the channel over the initial period.
The proceeds of the agreement will be used by YooMedia to continue to support
the relationship with Gala and to reinvest in the other parts of the Group, as
well as general working capital requirements.



YooMedia Chairman, Michael Sinclair, said: 'Having built a cross-platform
service, we are now delighted to have formed a partnership with the UK's leading
provider of high-volume, low-stake leisure gaming. The deal highlights our
ability to create value through our innovative approach in supplying digital
content for the fast-growing worldwide market. We look forward to working with
Gala, continuing to develop our cutting-edge software and being part of such a
strong and exciting brand.'



Gala Group Chief Executive Neil Goulden said: 'We are delighted to be entering
the dynamic world of interactive television and this project will form a key
part of Gala's expanding multi-media strategy. Gala TV will allow additional
opportunities for our existing registered membership of over seven million
customers to access Gala's products and services. It will also allow Gala to
promote its brand to a new audience across both the digital satellite and cable
platforms in the UK. '

Hello everybody - just back from a nice little break in Berlin ( bloody cold though !!!!! ) - can't be bothered to trawl back through all the posts which are probably mostly one liners from the usual crowd - if there was anything interesting Jerry, Axe or Trigger let me know - of course I have read the RNS from this morning, what a nice little welcome back surprise, so here is the " enlarged " big picture:-

1) Deal with Gala - Avago brand to be renamed Gala TV - with a combined customer base of over 7 million - week in week out Gala TV will now be blitzed on the high street - don't forget Avago runs on mobile phone as well - over 7 million customers seamlessly integrated - bingo playable just about everywhere, on your mobile, on your TV, on your PC and on the high street - this will be a major boost to the long term stability of Yoomedia, why do I think this, well, read the info within the link below to see the gravity of the company we are now entwined with:-

http://www.galagroup.co.uk/prDetails.asp?pId=1&id=157

Enough said on this deal for now

2) William Hill deal - Channel 425 to roll out across 1500 high street shops, enough said, this deal will be the turning point for the company, hence Mike Sinclairs statement regarding Q1 2006 profits.

3) Broadband TV - Live trials in place with NTL - if successful, and from what I saw with my own eyes, will be amazed if not successful, possibly the chance for Yoomedia to be involved with the first major roll out of Broadband TV in the UK, ahead of both BSKYB and BT who have both stated what an important part of their futures Broadband TV will be, but not available until late 2006.

4) Freeview - Contracts secured with Gemstar ( 40% owned by News Corp - parent of BSKYB ) and Electra - to provide infastructure for interactive EPG using Yoomedia's available valuable bandwidth on the Freeview platform via datacasting - do some research and see what datacasting is capbale of providing. Both Gemstar and Electra already have contracts in place with all major TV, DVD, and Set Top Box manufacuturers to use its next generation hardware, remember how quickly Gemstars Video + took off, well this is the company Yoomedia are now contracted too, work out for yourself how all the hard work is going to done for Yoomedia by its partners in this one, without any outlay, Yoomedia will be even more prominent in Freeview homes, which will account for the largest DTV community. Yoomedia also have the technology to make Freeview a two way proposition via mobile phone - this will be important if Freeview is to compete with other DTV platforms that have red button technology.

5)Long term contract with NHS direct - already integrated on the BSKYB platform, soon to be on the Freeview paltform as well.

6) Dateline - now brought into the 21st Century by Yoomedia, and as we know subject to a possible JV, separate float - which will bring to the market its full value, which is currentky hidden by the under performance of the group as a whole.

7) Yooplay TV - now getting established as a provider of low cost interactive gaming and gambling, and the only channel to appear on all Digital Paltforms, quite and acheivement, this will become useful in the future in my opinion, especially in the light of the partnerships that now exist between Willaim Hill and Gala - surely in the future they would like access to all Digital Patforms, only Yoomedia at present can offer such a proposition to anyone, backed up with a semaless integration to Mobile and PC.

8) Links and investment now established with the USA, great for the future as these larger nations catch up with the little ole USA - yes, don;t forget, Yoomedia's income to date has been restricted to the UK - look at the emerging worldwide market going on in the background - www.dtg.org.uk a good place to start your investigations - where Yoomedia now get regular mentions in the news sections.

9) Growth from 740 K turnover to 100 million in less than three years, with minimal cashburn compared to other high growth companies, with losses down substantially this year, and profits now predicted for Q1 2006, and all this with DTV trading at well below 50% capacity in the UK, with 100% coverage predicted by 2012

Yoomedia now have a solid grounding to push forward, and amazingly with all this in place you can still get in sub 10p, I am predicting a profit of circa 50 - 100 million by 2008, and a conservative SP of 300p - laugh at that if you like, I know some will, but come back in December 2008, and I will stand here to be slated if I am wrong.

I also suspect that the likes of Binary and Fat Budgie will be still spouting out their " Pile of Poop " one liners in the hope that they can distract investors from the underlying potential, but then some people do like to make a fool of themselves in public places on a regular basis.

I am in long, and looking forward to a major advance in the SP over the next three years, with dividends to follow from what will be a worldwide leader in DTV and iTV - all of which the one liner shorting de-rampers will miss out on, what a shame !!!

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all, including all the twats.

Regards

Paul

Yoomedia is gonna be the dog of the century...Whoof Whoof is all I can say.

1.5 pence target by end of 2006.

you could be eating cilla's hat this time next year!!

Sue Helen ,YOO Dog of the Century , i doubt it somehow!

A lot us remember how yoo ramped up ETQ , and look at the state of that company. Yoo seem very quite on that now a days?

I can have an opinion like everyone else has on my threads....so I say 1.50 pence by end of 2006. What's the problem ???

And please mcgrath don't ever accuse me of ramping....and just select one company stock that has gone up in the past and now come down.

You have to buy and sell at the right moment to be a good trader. That's all I do...if you can't do it then tough...start reading some books.

SH , i touched a raw nerve. YOO really did ramp ETQ look back at your posts to refresh your memory?

Yes i know all shares go up & down i don,t need a book to tell me that.

Thanks.

mvp45 ... what have I got to say about wot ???

Did I miss the rise to 50p last week or something ?

Going bust imo , pile of sh*te.

Regards

Yep go see and post mcgrath boy...ETQ went from 4.50 to 7 pence on news when i was saying buy at 5 pence.....now do the same on all my threads. Idiot.
