No trade is ever logged as a buy or sell. It is just a guess based on whether the executed price was higher or lower than the mid price.
After all, every trade is both a buy and a sell!!!

It deserves a look at the rating based purely on the quality it is producing.
Repeat and overseas sales should provide a good longer term income.

results today look very positive so I'm disappointed to see very little market reaction--I think maybe I've bought in too early a common mistake of mine! This time I shall tuck away and add when I've got some spare. Anyone else looked at the figures?

I had a look and was a tad disappointed.
Like you, I think the future is bright and I will hold anyway.
We will have to wait a while for the blue touchpaper to be lit, but media is a fashion concious industry and the danger is DCD go out of fashion before they even get in to fashion!!

DCD Media plc
("DCD Media" or the "Company")
Major New TV Production
DCD Media plc, the arts, entertainment and drama television production and
distribution group, is delighted to announce that Iambic Productions, a wholly
owned subsidiary, has completed an agreement with ITV for the production of a
new two-part Saturday night prime time entertainment series.
This is the biggest commission for Iambic Productions to date and is likely to
generate among its highest turnover from a single project, after exploitation
of the international distribution rights.
The 2 x 1 hour programmes, created by Iambic and provisionally entitled "The
Truth About Boy Bands," are tentatively scheduled for screening on ITV 1 in
June and chart the rise and fall of boy bands over the last forty years. From
the early examples of The Monkees, The Jacksons and The Osmonds, through to the
recent eras of Boyzone, NSYNC, New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys and the
revival of Take That, Iambic's new series lifts the veil on the gritty reality
of these, and other, iconic all male groups over the last four decades. "The
Truth About Boy Bands" features new interviews and commentary from over twenty
industry moguls and artists themselves.
It was initially anticipated that this project would consist of only one
programme, however it has subsequently increased in size with the addition of a
further episode.

DCD Media plc
("DCD Media" or the "Company")
Trading Update - Distribution Division
DCD Media plc, the arts, entertainment and drama television production and distribution group, is pleased to announce that its distribution subsidiary, NBD TV, made its highest ever sales at the world's biggest television market, MIP TV, in Cannes, France in April.
Foremost were pre-sales of the major drama series `The Last Enemy', which is in production by another of DCD Media's subsidiaries, Box TV, and is due to complete shooting on 7th June. It had already added a pre-sale to American public television station WGBH to its commission from the BBC, but, at MIP TV, it added a commitment from Universal Pictures for UK DVD rights and sales to TV stations in Australia and Finland. These, plus further sales in negotiation, have now led NBD to revise upwards its sales expectations for the series.
Other Box TV projects also sold well: TV and DVD rights to the Ray Winstone drama, `Sweeney Todd', were sold for France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Latin America, while BBC America acquired both Box TV's Bon Voyage and Amnesty International's The Secret Policeman's Ball for the USA.
Music projects were also well received - for example Glastonbury 2007, Pink: Live From Wembley Arena, and David Gilmour Live at the Albert Hall all sold to multiple territories with further deals in negotiation. Packages of classical music programmes were also confirmed for a number of territories including the USA.
DCD Media Chief Executive, Chris Hunt commented,
"We are delighted with NBD's sales at MIP, which clearly demonstrate the synergies between the group's companies and underline the strength of our business model.
After a period of consolidation this performance by NBD indicates how added value is actively being created for our shareholders."
