I bought into these some time ago, and they haven't really moved much for a while after initial links with Music co, etc. However, this week has showed some interest, anyone know whats going on?

AGM TV launched in 18m merger

Bored with Big Brother, soaps, pornography or obscure sports? There is an alternative - televised annual general meetings.
Two British communications companies with many blue-chip firms as their clients will announce a merger tomorrow. Virtue Broadcasting will acquire World TV (valued at 18.1 million) in a reverse takeover.

World produces internal TV content for clients, while Virtue specialises in internet broadcasting technology. They hope to integrate their technology and client bases and expand their corporate business - in particular, by broadcasting AGMs.

Neither began in the corporate sector. In 1991, World was set up to provide internal content for non-governmental organisations such as Greenpeace. It now works for clients including BP, Nestland Reuters, as well as the Foreign Office, producing English-language content for expatriates in Iraq.

Virtue first attracted attention developing web services for pop sensations the Cheeky Girls. Their client list is now slightly more respectable - it includes Microsoft, British American Tobacco and UBS.

Virtue's finance director James Ormondroyd said he anticipated 'great commercial and technological synergies', and predicted continued expansion across Europe.
