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.'

interests of the Company and its shareholders. Further announcements will be
made as and when developments occur.


Stephen Kirk, non-executive Chairman of World Television, commented: 'I'd like
to thank Andy and Peter for their contribution as executives to World
Television's growth since they founded the company in 1991. They will continue
to offer the benefit of their experience as non-executives from the new year.
I'd also like to welcome Jim Hall to the Board and we look forward to further
developments to our technical strategy and product range under his guidance."

BIZPACK - 02 May 2006 19:13 - 56 of 251

Thanks explosive for your postings. Looking at what you say, I agree.

The fact that Mike Neville has purchased shares, while they are looking for a replacement, looks very positive to me. The outlook must be bright.

I`ll just keep holding.

explosive - 02 May 2006 19:19 - 57 of 251

Hi Bizpack, one other thing I failed to mention was WTV posted a turnover of 9.6m for '05 against a market cap of 8.76m. This to me indicates a cheap sp especially when theres no news of business decline! Just thought it worthy of a mention..

BIZPACK - 03 May 2006 20:46 - 58 of 251

Explosive, yes I noticed that as well. I also looked at todays trades, having looked at them in detail, it seems to me that the Market Makers are working a large trade, as there were more buys than sells. In addition they are also keeping the spread very wide, to discourage buying while picking up sellers stock cheaply, making a large margin in the process.

Could other directorsbe buying.

explosive - 04 May 2006 18:40 - 59 of 251

Bizpack, could well be a possibility, I think WTV are on the verge of a broker markup as the company moves into profit. Mike Nevilles recent purchase would support this, obviously confident. As soon as either a profit forecast is given or broker markup the bid will increase to 1.25~1.35 and the MM's will cash in against any buy order. For us already in its a milestone hit and maybe a possibility to sell on a high, let the market settle and buy back in....

BIZPACK - 04 May 2006 20:13 - 60 of 251

Disappointing low volume today but you cannot expect otherwise on such a huge spread. 1 - 1.25p 25% before you start, ok you might be able to buy inside the margin @ 1.2p but its still 20% plus costs.

I hope your right but if so I`ll still hang on, in the past I got out, only to see other stocks fly.

good luck if you do.

explosive - 05 May 2006 11:54 - 61 of 251

With the Bissons buy and director buy theres plenty of confidence. Maybe back on a buy for me anywhere below a .92 average. Final results due end of June so plenty of time for MM speculation.

Have a look at the link below, the technology is on our doorstep now so the orders for WTVs podcasting should be picking up.

http://www.world-television.com/intel/

Also if you've never seen any of WTVs work then have a look at the link below,

http://www.world-television.com/casestudies/EN_reuters_livingfast.html

this video was created for Reuters and in 2005 the British Association of Communicators in Business (CiB) awarded this production a Grand Award.

BIZPACK - 06 May 2006 12:50 - 62 of 251

I take it you have sold out explosive, from your last post or part of your holding.

I took a look at yesterdays trades and it looks like that there is strong support at 1.15/1.2p, so I can only see it rising should the FD buy stock, following that of the Chairman. In fact it could have been her buying on Friday to be announced Mon.
Lets hope so, or lets hope she starts to do so soon.

Asia, is a fast growning market and they might have news out soon,in view that Kamera did a deal in Korea not long ago.

Looking at the WTV website, its seems to me that they are suggesting they have some software that is cutting edge, maybe thats the Bisson link. any idea?

explosive - 07 May 2006 18:54 - 63 of 251

Hi Bizpack, sold nope not me, I'll buy below .92 and sell at around 1.7ish should confidence cause the sp to run over a support line of 1.2~1.5. Not sure what the bissons link will bring at the moment if at all anything.

BIZPACK - 08 May 2006 19:44 - 64 of 251

Disapointing volume again today explosive.

One other disapointing thing is, that no other director has followed up behind the Chairman and purchased any stock in the market. As they are not in a closed period, I would have expected the FD to be buying as well.

It is not only directors buying thats needed, it confirmation of a few new contracts that would do wonders for the stock price.

Good to hear your still in, as I really think this will advance before much longer and as we run towards the AGM in July. With the AGM being a live webcast, they will not want a lot of fed up small shareholders giving them a hard time. So I really expect them to give all shareholders some good news before then.

Hopefully, the FD will also buy stock very soon.

explosive - 09 May 2006 11:03 - 65 of 251

Both the chairman and CEO have bought shares this year, Evelyn Kimber only joind the company in Oct 2005 so maybe too early to expect a buy from her yet.

Global Nomad - 09 May 2006 12:03 - 66 of 251

nothing to say, just wanted to break up this duopoly....lol

explosive - 10 May 2006 13:11 - 67 of 251

Found article below, further evidence that podcasting technology is being adopted. AS WTV have contracts with government, I wonder if a new contract win will be announced???

UK Telegraph Promotes Podcasting to Front Page
May 08, 2006
The UK's Daily Telegraph, one of the first newspapers to podcast, has redesigned its site. Notable is prominent featuring of the sites podcasts:

The placement highlights that fact that some newspapers are beginning to see podcasting and video podcasting as a way to branch into media that has previously been dominated by radio and television.

http://www.podcastingnews.com/archives/2006/05/uk_telegraph_pr.html

BIZPACK - 10 May 2006 19:54 - 68 of 251

Global nomad, that is the problem.No interest in this stock.

Trades not promising once again but the CFO still not buying stock does nothing for confidence.

explosive - 11 May 2006 01:12 - 69 of 251

Were already stating to see interest "UK Telegraph Promotes Podcasting to Front Page". Obviously the function/service will be more commonly used meaning the companies demand for Podcasting has increased! Now lets see if other media companies in this sector follow suit. New technology always takes a while to catch on or just get left behind. Podcasting has started to catch on and the market seams to like it (Heard no bad reports yet!). And I can't see any better developments being introduced into the market so won't get left behind.

explosive - 11 May 2006 11:05 - 70 of 251

235,000 buys against 75,000 sells all buys at 1.05 an the sp falls, time I think for the bid to increase.

BIZPACK - 11 May 2006 20:06 - 71 of 251

You missed that large sell explosive could it be the market in general that is having this effect.

I only hope wtv have something positive to say about their Podcasting business very soon, as you seem to suggest.

None of the Podcasts on the site you listed seem to use WTV`s software or streaming services. I could be very wrong, if so can you put up a link please.

Looks like I should have got out at 1.25 after all but I was unable to, being at work at the time.

I am looking at EIT as a recovery stock, any views?

explosive - 12 May 2006 11:19 - 72 of 251

Bizpack, although not all companies will use WTV to podcast, at this stage any company adopting to Podcasting increases the market sector demand for the technology. Its really evidence of usage that I'm looking for which tells me the technology has a sustained usage within the market.

Personaly I think WTV will progress so far on its own before either making aquisitions or be snapped up its self. The fact that WTV should post a 2006 profit will help the sp rise. The Daily Telegraph uses Podcasting so that its articles can be viewed online or mobile whilst not buying an actual paper, not only does this increase the Daily Telegraphs market exposure but also introduces people to Podcasting. We know that O2 and WTV signed a contract however for what I'm not sure, I suspect O2 will provide as it does on most sporting events coverage of the World Cup on mobile, will WTV be providing this?

WTV win 9 awards in one week.
http://www.world-television.com/index.php?id=28&news=70&newspage=1

Yet again WTV awarded for the filming and production of great podcasts, this further increases their portfolio of quality documents essential for tendering brand names.

I had a look at EIT and personaly I wouldn't buy them. Loss making company and couldn't find any contracts or sales for their technology.

BIZPACK - 12 May 2006 18:39 - 73 of 251

Explosive, Thanks about EIT.

I must have missed the contract with 02, can you tell me where to find the story please.

explosive - 15 May 2006 10:21 - 74 of 251

Bizpack, if you look at the tread header there was an RNS posted on the 28th October. Have yet to find out more on the O2 new business win, I think this possibly not listed on WTVs web site as the contract is yet to be fulfilled.

Operational Highlights


* Successfully won British Satellite News (BSN) contract, at increased value with
the UK Government Foreign and Commonwealth Office
* Other new business wins include - BAA, 02 and Microsoft
* Disposal of loss making subsidiary Kamera completed in March 2005, into special
purpose vehicle (SPV) and will accrete value over next 3 years
