This used to be called VTB.

They have fallen from about 3p since June & they reached 7p a year ago.

The share seems to be showing signs of life.

I've put a small amount in again as a big gamble.

This goes aginst what I usually do because it is an AIM share with a big spread but it's only a small amount just for fun.

WTV attracting attention on the advfn BB... it's getting intersting. We should get some news/results soon. this story can only get better. imo

Hmmmm, showing signs of life again.

Last yr I think the old company (VTB) released their results on 24th May.. perhaps things are hotting up a bit in the run up to announcing latest set of results.. should make for interesting reading...
(although needs to do a lot more to earn the "hot" tab)

just had a quick look at their web site news,

17.05.05

World Television has been honoured with six awards at two key prize ceremonies in the USA the 2005 Videographer Awards and the US International Film and Video Festival.

World Television received two first prizes (Awards of Excellence) at the Videographer Awards. The first, a BP production, Performance in Perspective (PiP) is a quarterly programme targeted at employees which summarises and explains the companys financial results, combined with the impact on staff. The English version of PiP is completed two days after the results announcement and can be viewed at desktops on BP World (BPs Intranet). Three days later it is webcast in 6 different languages and is also distributed on DVD. PiP has repeatedly beaten its quarterly viewership targets and now reaches over 50,000 employees worldwide in 6 languages.

Then Business of Development also received an Award of Excellence in the programming category. Business of Development, broadcast on CNBC, is the worlds first television series dedicated to the links between sustainable development and business issues. The series profiles businesses who are actively involved in developing regions and has featured companies such as Hewlett Packard, GSK and Pfizer. Honourable mentions at the Videographer Awards were also given to two other World Television productions - Reuters Living Fast and another BP project, OneBP Invision.
At the US International Film & Video Festival, World Television won both second and third prizes in the employee oriented category. Second prize (The Silver Screen Award) was given to OneBP Invision, a twice-yearly presenter-led magazine style programme shot entirely on location and featuring reports from throughout this huge global organisation. As with PiP, this programme is made available to all BP staff via the Intranet and on multi-language DVD. Third prize in the same category was awarded to Reuters Living Fast. This follows the recent Award of Excellence this production received at the 2005 Communication in Business (CiB) corporate video awards.

Jon King, CEO, World Television comments: Were delighted to receive these awards and it is a testament to both the enormous creativity throughout the Group as well as the excellent ongoing relationships we have established with our clients.

UP 13.21% so far today but don't get too excited, it needs another 15% to push through the spread.

Global Nomad, their website news doesn't look like sufficient reason so I wonder why.

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.'

Hooray ! some good news at last ! (well sort of) Let's hope the SP gradually recovers from the current lows.... :)

not quiet the gradual recovery we were hoping for!!!!! 33% in a morning..

lets hope it is at least sustainable, averaged down a little this morning, a bit late, but should help....trying to get it back to 6p to come good and reward the patience...

GN

Well, I'll settle for the "gradual" recovery now taking place..... I need it to get to 3.5p before I'm in profit.... I sold half my holding at about 6p before it bombed out. wish I sold it all back then... but... anyway it's looking much better now. hope to see good interims with good trading statement etc., :)

here here

Interims about 6 weeks away now and they should confirm their goal of profits at year end in the outlook.

only large buys this morning....1.12m buys in only 7 trades, no sells...looking good (or at least better!)

We should see a period of strength as they have talked about making profits, the results statement will be hoped to be positive so a lot of buys should come in into the lead up to this.

hAS ANYBODY HEARD THE RUMOURS ABOUT A BUYOUT?

No, how about you tell us.

Rumours are Thompson are interested and about 5p. Could be just a ramp.
