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.

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

On the ADVFN site there is so much hype it is a joke.

it just seems that all the hype is sending the sp in the wrong direction.....

It's a typo!
It's not hype - it's hope !

Guess this was expected, but good to see confirmation of the figures 1.5m/year for 3 years...also good to see the price respond nicely to the news. Lets hope it rekindles some interest....

Good news at last

World Television Launches Expanded British Satellite News Service

World Television, the corporate communications, news production, webcasting and
event management company, is pleased to announce the launch of a new expanded
British Satellite News (BSN) service following the renewal of its contract with
the UK Government's Foreign & Commonwealth office (FCO).

The contract, worth approximately #1.5m p.a., will run for three years from
October 2005 with a further two year extension option period.

In response to demand from broadcasters for more content, World Television has
built on the existing offering by increasing output by 50 per cent Monday to
Thursday and by introducing an in-depth, ten-minute feature every Friday
focussing on specific news-related subjects.

A newly redeveloped website (www.bsn.org.uk) is available in both English and
Arabic and provides an enhanced offering featuring streaming video. This will
enable programme producers to select stories by viewing them at their desktops
alongside script information and other related reports.

BSN is currently used by over 450 broadcasters across Europe, Africa, the Middle
East and South East Asia. The new service will strive to achieve greater
penetration in core areas such as the Arabic speaking regions.

Steve Garvey, CEO, World Television Group said: "I am delighted BSN has decided
to extend their service offering and am confident that, through the combination
of increased output and the application of World Television's technologies, BSN
will build on its significant successes to date. BSN is designed to serve
broadcasters' needs and World Television will continue to innovate our offering
to ensure it does so."

BSN Editor Mike Nolan said, "We are enormously proud to be continuing with the
BSN service. It is now becoming a prime source of news and information about
Britain to many broadcasters and we are confident of recruiting even more
television stations to the service."

looks like this share is at least trying to head in the right direction, not convinced that there is any steam behind it yet...good to hear news not hype...a bit more and it should be more convincing...gaining new clients is always a better sign than hanging onto existing ones(though clearly you don't want to loose them) lets see some news on that.

Has it reached its floor and is this the time to be bottom fishing.
Very little news published by WTV in recent months other than the back Tax that could be claimed. They also claim that they should be able to meet these costs with a payment plan. Maybe the market has taken all this into account now.

I see a brokers note is available on the world-television.com site under IR, that takes the Tax issue into account.

It seems as though they are very undervalued at present.
