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.

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.

I have heard its a done deal, market today seems to confirm this, very, very interesting

look at this post from World television expert gordgeko off A D V F N

Chaps, as a lot of you know I have followed this share for 5 years.

I must say what is happening in the IR space at present is really exciting, what where competitors of WTV 12/18 months ago have now been swallowed up by the goliath THOMSON.

After watching the trading recently particularly Friday, I am convinced the MM's are filling a large order.

Have any of you thought for a second that at any time WTV could be in play?

Look at this, read page 51 last paragraph top section of the page:

http://www.thomson.com/cms/assets/pdfs/corporate/millennia.pdf

I am convinced WTV will be bought out in 2005 and recent events with netvision have only confirmed this for me. The fact that they are about to turn a profit only add to my belief of a bid some time soon.

Thomson's Netvision news release:

http://www.thomson.com/common/view_news_release.jsp?body_include=press_room/news_releases/financial/2005_08_22_Thomson_Acquires_neTVisionion=financial&secondary=pr_market_group&tertiary=financial&subsection=pressroom&title=%0A%0AThomson_Acquires_neTVision_in_Germany%0A%0A

The fact that our Directors hold key shareholdings only fuels my excitement. We can relax knowing we will not be sold on the cheap.

Also, remember the share juggling a few weeks back between the two founders?

Any views on this or am I barking up the wrong tree? Surely WTV would be the icing on the cake for THOMSON in Europe as well as having a perfect synergy in the asia pacific regions.

Something is happening, I can feel it in my water.

Out of interest in 2004 THOMSON made $120million a month

;-)))

Can anybody think of another possible suitor?

iT DOES MAKE YOU WONDER???????????

Thank you for that ffi.

The rumours still doing the rounds but there seems to be so little volume being traded, so I have my doubts and feel it could be just another false call.

Best not to raise one's hopes ! (long time WTV holder)

This was posted a few weeks ago, but I notice WTV haven't declared WELLA a new client, this seems to be some type of online training for hairdressers

http://cdn.world-television.com/Wella/292/o0017/de/html/frameset.html?browser=IE&streamTech=wm&streamQuality=300&streamFormat=video&ticket=290$292$2575&bcStatus=ondemand

It is very interesting as it shows the quality of the WTV production methods as well as the quality of its delivery platform.

It looks like there is a different type of training each month this year, so thats a new video production each month, that must be a fair few pennies, add the fact that WELLA are selling the DVD's, which WTV will more than likely supply and we are laughing.

Has anyone heard anything about the Thomson/WTV buyout rumours?

I notice they will announce results for first half on 30th September. The market has not been informed, however this date is stated on world-television.com website.

Bizpack... thanks for this... lets hope 30th Sept is the date and that we get some excellent news... and more importantly the market likes it and marks it up strongly.
Been in this one a long time and need it to do well. All my other holdings are doing crap at the moment..

After todays results it looks like we are on the right track at nearly break even & should possibly hit a marginal profit by year end. Sales shwoing 7% growth.

luchan.

I reckon 250k profit for the next results (imho). Might as well be optimistic...dream on. anyway I think it's encouraging at long last!

rumours are emerging in the city about a possible takeover at World Television
