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.'

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."

Did you have a jammed keyboard skyhigh, as I see you managed to post a multi bagger at the same time.

Pity the sp does not multi that many times as fast.

I looked at the trades today and was wondering if you had a view as to the possibility of a bigger buyer collecting once again as the price held, even though there were two big sells of 600k each.

On most occassions the MM just drop the offer unless they are filling an order.

Maybe EK is buying at long last?

skyhigh - 15 Jun 2006 09:20 - 98 of 251

Grim isn't it !
We had good news released the other day (or was it bad news !) who knows ?
and today someone sells half a million shares at .065p... bids going down all the time..'orrible isn't it !

explosive - 15 Jun 2006 09:52 - 99 of 251

Grim depends on what your average is. I suppose it is grim if you got in at the 3p mark but for anyone averaging under 1p its not all that bad considering the sp is about as low as I think it'll go....

skyhigh - 15 Jun 2006 10:24 - 100 of 251

It's grim whatever !
I originally got in at 3p a few years and then sold half at 6.5p, so you could say my average is 1.5p if you see what I mean...

explosive - 15 Jun 2006 14:34 - 101 of 251

Well WTV have said that Q1 2006 has been inline with expectations. I can't see any reasons for Q2 to be different and see no reason why WTV shouldn't post a profit overall in '06.

BIZPACK - 19 Jun 2006 19:42 - 102 of 251

New low today explosive but the larger trades look more like buys than sells. I have a bit of spare cash and may average down tomorrow as I think the bottom has been hit. With such a low market capital, add to that the recent news that will add almost 500.000 profit back into the accounts, it seems to me they could show a large profit in the next half and improve on that going forward. If you add that amount to the forecasts posted in the brokers note which they improved upon last time. I think the stock price could take a sharp hike northwards if they give a good trading statement at the AGM at the end of July if not before.

News of a New Chairman could help as could buying by the FD. I only wish she would put her hand in her pocket and buy stock, as this alone would show a vote of confidence in WTV.

Very grim, buts whos broadcasting 3G football highlights????????

BIZPACK - 20 Jun 2006 19:41 - 105 of 251

I must admit I never added today but will be brave tomorrow and do so.

Tell us more about those 3G highlights please explosive, and will that not be done though Kamera.com that WTV sold off but retained a 10% stake and part revenue until July 06 ? Unless WTV are producing the content?

skyhigh - 20 Jun 2006 19:53 - 106 of 251

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

explosive - 21 Jun 2006 19:48 - 107 of 251

BIZPACK, the 3G highlights was a question, I know there being broadcasted but don't know upon whos revenue line.....

Skyhigh, yep nothing of interest happening at the moment. I await news like the rest of you!!

BIZPACK - 27 Jun 2006 19:59 - 108 of 251

I see they have now stated the time and place of the AGM along with the finial accounts.

Averaged down a little now, so hopefully will soon see blue sky.

For Immediate Release 13 June 2006

World Television Group Plc

('World Television' or 'the Company')

HMRC concludes World Television not liable for tax

World Television has been advised by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK
that it has concluded its review of potential PAYE and National Insurance
contributions (NIC) concerning Tornado Group plc (now called World Television)
at the time of its flotation in March 2000. The Company announced the review on
2 December 2005 and has vigorously defended its position during the process.

HMRC has agreed that Tornado Group plc operated PAYE/NIC on the correct measure
of profits and that accordingly World Television's liability in this case is
nil. Moreover HMRC has advised that the Company will not be liable for any
court costs arising from the review. The Company will meet its own costs in the
case, which are expected to be within the figure provided for in the 2006
budget.

The Board made a provision of 496k for the liability excluding penalties and
some interest in the final accounts for the year ended 31 December 2005. This
provision, charged as an exceptional item, is no longer required and will be
written back in the accounts for the current year.

Ends.

Link to annual report '05 below. Main highlights are loss of 0.8m for the year with fourth quarter neutral. '06 should be a profit making year, I'm very optimistic...

The volume has been so low for weeks now. It must be time for a trading statement very soon, hopefully it will be strong and set the blue touch paper alight.

The last trade on Friday was a buy at least.
