from iii board:-
Article in todays shares magazine talking of the action in YOO at the moment and the move towards not owning the channels etc but licensing their technology and digital platform use etc.
Mentioned a quote from Neil Mcdonald re dateline and that they are considering options of total sale but maybe retaining as a client to floating it off. The definite is that they are looking to get maximum value out of an asset that they think is lost within the whole group and hence not recognised as such.
News on this could be anytime as well and with the news starting to flow big time and remember they will only announce news they think is significant (SONY don't come more significant!) and this may be last chance saloon for these miserable low prices......
It also mentioned:-
It is also pinning future hopes on its digital platform, which will offer real-time gaming across television, mobile phones and on the internet.
'We have the rights for 3G devices worldwide,' says MacDonald, and 'we are building a prototype platform and hope to be seeing revenues from this by the end of the year.'

The Gull,
There's nothing clever in deciding a result and adjusting the variables to produce it.
You are heading for my filter list.

Digital pushes TV share of home entertainment
Global average household expenditure on home entertainment is due to rise from $182.40 to $225 by 2010, according to new research from Informa Telecoms & Media. The rise means there will be an average increase of 4.7% for every year since 2000.
The research group's report, Digital Home Entertainment: Future Consumer Spending Habits, found that TV spending is set to take a progressively larger share of the overall pie.
In 2000 TV captured an average spend of $61.80, with music taking $33.50, games taking $13.5 and films $33.90. By 2005 TV had grown to $90.10, with music down at $29.40, games up to $20.80, and films up to $42. By 2010 TV is forecast to rise to $119, with music flat at $33.10, games up to $29.80 and films flat at $43.20.
In terms of total share of spending on the four, TV remains top. In 2000 it accounted for 44% of the combined revenues, ahead of film, music and games with 24%, 23% and 9% respectively. By 2010 TV will take 53% of the total, followed by film with 19%, music with 15% and games with 13%.
Report author Simon Dyson said TV's growth would be boosted by the rollout of digital and associated services. About 30m digital TV homes were added to the total in 2005 alone, but overall penetration rates are, with some notable exceptions such as the US and UK, way below 50%, leaving plenty of room for growth.

thanks to Paul Smith.
Get down to your off license tomorrow - as February 1st is the official launch of the Yoomedia Budweiser promotion - in the run up to the World Cup, Buweiser will be releasing the promotion Europe wide on 120 million bottles of its beer.
This is not only good for Yoomedia for this promotion, but also, such a prominent promotion will bring the company to the attention of many companies, not only in the UK, but Europe too.
We will all very soon see what this promotion is all about ourselves, and then we can get as excited as the Yoomedia management, who are very excited about the whole thing.
On another note, do not under estimate the gravity of the recent deal with Sony, or the latest 3G RNS, as has the market in general judging by the current SP, take advantage of this grossly undervalued SP while you can, it won't be around much longer IMHO - DYOR

In 2009, even if I rammed a copy of the audited FY results for 2008, showing a 14m profit, up your back passage, you would still post your one line drivel.
