Interesting to see Nigel Wray becoming a shareholder:
YOLO Leisure and Technology plc
("YOLO" or the "Company")
Placing - Issue of equity
The Company announces that it has issued 32,000,000 new ordinary shares of 1p each in YOLO at a price of 1.8p per share to Euroblue Investments Limited ("Euroblue"), raising £576,000 before expenses. As part of the placing, the Company has also issued Euroblue with 8,000,000 warrants to subscribe for new ordinary shares in YOLO at 1.8p per share.
Following the issue of equity, Euroblue, a company controlled by Mr Nigel Wray, will have an interest over 32,000,000 ordinary shares on the Company, representing approximately 23.3 per cent of the Company's issued share capital.
Application has been made for the 32,000,000 new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission is expected to occur on or around 2 February 2015. The new ordinary shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares.
For the purposes of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, the Company's total issued share capital at the date of this notice consists of 137,552,547 ordinary shares of 1p each. The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company, under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
Simon Robinson, Chief Executive Officer of YOLO, commented:
"We are delighted to welcome Nigel Wray/EuroBlue as an investor into the Company and view it as a sign of the confidence in the management team's ability to deliver value for shareholders"

re - some live
always inside info being passed on before the news are known ...........
TVPlayer signs content agreement with ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5
YOLO Leisure and Technology plc, the AIM-quoted company focusing on opportunities in the technology and leisure sectors, announces that TVPlayer Limited, in which YOLO has an interest by virtue of its investment into TVPlayer's parent company Simplestream Limited, has signed formal licensing multi year content agreements with ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 to simulcast the broadcasters' free to air channels on TVPlayer.
The agreements see TVPlayer licensing the Public Service Broadcasters' free to air channels for the first time, with the channels ITV 1, ITV 2, ITV 3, ITV 4, ITV Be, CITV, Channel 4, More4, 4Seven, Channel 5, 5STAR and Spik. All of these channels are available to existing TVPlayer customers across a full range of devices - including desktops, mobiles, tablets, Apple TV, Samsung Smart TV, Amazon Fire TV and various other set-top boxes.
In addition to live streaming over wired internet and WiFi, TVPlayer has also licensed 3G and 4G rights for all channels.
TVPlayer, with over one million viewers per month, is a popular online TV platform which streams live TV across multiple devices from some of the UK's most notable free-to-air broadcasters and Pay-TV channels. Following this deal, TVPlayer will offer over 100 channels spanning Entertainment, Sport, Kids, News, Music and Lifestyle.
Adam Smith, Founder of TVPlayer, said:
"This is a significant move for the growth of our platform. Adding the UK's key commercial broadcasters to our growing portfolio is a major benefit to our viewers as TVPlayer provides some of the UK's best channels in one app.
"Through our growing platform, broadcasters not only enjoy direct access to a younger demographic, they are also able to reach even wider audiences"
Simon Robinson, CEO of YOLO Leisure & Technology plc, commented:
"This is, once again, great news for TVPlayer to sign licensing agreements with some of the UK's key commercial broadcasters and quickly follows on from the recent multi-year agreement with Viacom, one of the world's largest media companies."
TVPlayer generates revenue through two business models; firstly an ad-supported free-to-air TVPlayer service with 100+ channels and secondly a paid subscription service with TVPlayer Plus, which is the first service of its kind to offer premium channels in the UK without a contract, providing 30 additional premium channels for a monthly fee of £4.99. TVPlayer is on target to upgrade 5% of homes using its free service to the subscription service by the end of the year.

Finally the news are out...... and is a placing @ 1p
£2.5 million new equity placing
Investment in Magic Media Works
YOLO has successfully raised £2.5 million (before expenses) through an oversubscribed placing ("Placing") of 250,000,000 new ordinary shares of 1p each with new and existing investors at an issue price of 1p per share ("Placing Shares"). Under the Placing, each Placee will also receive one warrant for every five Placing Shares subscribed for as part of the Placing, exercisable at 1.3p per share ("Warrants").
In addition, the Company will invest approximately £1.4 million in Magic Media Works Limited ("Magic Works") through secured convertible loan notes ("Loan Notes"). Magic Works has developed the Electric Jukebox ("Electric Jukebox"), a premium ad-free music streaming service and associated player. The remainder of the funds raised will be used to provide the Company with additional funds for working capital and investments.
Magic Works has developed a number of subscription-free music streaming products and services which allow users to access ad-free music content without the requirement for account registration, passwords, software downloads or pairing of third party streaming devices.
Magic Works has entered into licensing agreements with the world's major record labels, including Universal Music Group, Sony Music Group and Warner Music Group and major independents including Merlin Music and also the major music publishers, allowing users to access millions of albums and over 29 million music tracks ad-free. Streamed music content is accessed via Electric Jukebox, a proprietary streaming device developed by Magic Works. With a typical set-up time of less than two minutes and a potential addressable consumer market of some 800 million users worldwide (Source IFPI), Magic Works is currently the world's only dedicated music streaming developer of consumer music streaming players and services that provide on-demand ad-free access to a wide ranging music catalogue without the need for either a user account, application download or a monthly subscription.
Magic Works has signed up a number of celebrities to assist in marketing Electric Jukebox, including Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field, Stephen Fry, Sheryl Crow and Alesha Dixon, all of whom have equity interests in the business. It is intended that the Magic Works streaming products and services will initially be launched in the UK this month extending to the U.S. and Continental Europe during 2017.
The Loan Notes shall bear an interest rate of 10% per annum from 1 March 2017 and are secured by a first ranking debenture over the assets of Magic Works. The Loan Notes are convertible into approximately 41.2% of the ordinary share capital of Magic Works on a fully diluted basis. The conversion rights attaching to the Loan Notes expire on 31 December 2018.
Simon Robinson, CEO of YOLO said: "The oversubscribed fundraise of £2.5 million demonstrates the support and confidence of existing shareholders in this transaction, including Nigel Wray, and new institutional investors. The capital raised will enable Magic Works to launch Electric Jukebox in the UK and accelerate their strategic expansion into new territories and markets. The fundraise also significantly strengthens YOLO's balance sheet."
Rob Lewis, Founder and CEO of Magic Media Works said: "This latest funding secured with YOLO gives Magic Works the opportunity to bring its range of fun and easy to use Electric Jukebox products to music consumers around the world. We have the opportunity to grow the market dramatically as we introduce new audiences to music streaming in the home and open up new markets internationally. Magic Works looks forward to bringing music streaming back into people's homes and lives with Electric Jukebox."

Celeb-backed music TV phallus Electric Jukebox finally ready for launch
8 Nov 2016 at 15:02, Andrew Orlowski
Over a year after it was first announced, the UK music startup described as "the most ridiculous digital music launch in history" will finally be available to punters tomorrow.
Electric Jukebox bundles music with a £169 remote control and a dongle, so you can play tunes on your TV. After that, it's £52 a year, and the company says Argos and Selfridges will be trying to shift the units. The remote control has voice search, and the dongle goes into your TV's HDMI port.
This makes Electric Jukebox ideal for people who have a modern TV with decent speakers, but don't have a smartphone or a tablet. Unfortunately, the intersection of this Venn diagram ("Expensive_TV ∩ No_Smartphone") may in reality be smaller than the backers hope. Started by Rob Lewis, who also founded Silicon.com, Omnifone and Rara, Electric Jukebox has raised £7m and is reportedly seeking an AIM listing....
