A cheeky 200k late(ish) buy at 8p ...... Cool!

[nickb] 19/12/2018 23:42

Yes they will have to update.
It will be expensive report anyway glad we are named.


Be nice to get a broker research report though.

[sickness] 19/12/2018 23:16

NickB, That report has been floating around for a couple of years and FBT have always been on the list.

I’d assume the report gets updated every now and then but I’m not willing to pay to find out.

The Buffoons are back in Town (News)

Nexstar is taking over Tribune Media for $4billion so a lot of money going into US local TV at the moment.

[nickb] 19/12/2018 17:04

From my understanding all the local tv stations in the US are under pressure to re invent themselves with new technology.

We should be in a good position.

[mcsean2164] 19/12/2018 16:56

Really positive close today. Looking good!

[chriscallen] 19/12/2018 14:57

Looks like it and TownNews is becoming the go to supplier for media groups that are under pressure. Even Warren Buffet uses them!

[bonio10000] 19/12/2018 12:16

I assume this means we are being used by 50 stations, up from the 11 under the initial RNS earlier in the year?

[paulcon1] 19/12/2018 12:03

Congratulations to all the staff at FBT



An RNS announcement, as well, which is cool!

GL and IMHO

[nickb] 19/12/2018 11:27

Gaining traction in the US now.

Huge number of local TV news stations and they are all at a stage of having to re invent.

Great for us

December 19, 2018, New York and London - Forbidden Technologies plc (AIM: FBT), the developer and seller of Blackbird, the workstation experience in the cloud, has announced that TownNews has extended its adoption of Blackbird with its recent deployment by Block Communications.



Block Communications, owner and operator of TV stations in Illinois and Ohio, has broadened its relationship with TownNews, which has provided video and OTT services to Kentucky TV station, WDRB, since January this year. Two further TV stations, WAND out of Decatur, Illinois and WLIO based in Lima, Ohio will launch TownNews Field59 VMS and OTT services this month increasing the total count of broadcast properties using the TownNews suite to nearly 50.

Blackbird gives TownNews' partners the power to rapidly access, navigate and manipulate video content no matter their location. When paired with the Field59 VMS, news stories can be delivered with unprecedented speed and control using Blackbird Forte's browser-based enrichment, editorial and publishing tools. In June of this year, Forbidden announced that one of TownNews' major partners was using Blackbird to deliver news content across multiple platforms to towns and cities in 11 states across the US.

"Block Communications will be benefiting from one of the fastest real-time digital video editing tools available," said Derek Gebler, TownNews VP of Broadcast and Video. "Combining Blackbird with the TownNews Field59 VMS creates a powerful all-in-one video capturing, editing, and management tool for broadcasters that need their content published fast."



Forbidden CEO, Ian McDonough, said: "These fantastic contract wins by TownNews show how popular our combined solution is with news networks distribution across quickly growing digital outlets. It's also further encouragement that Blackbird's OEM model is gaining serious traction in North America setting us up for further growth in 2019."

Interesting that New York is one of the places this was published

Daniel Webster Twitter.

Yes, I'm chuffed to be part of Blackbird. The software is truly transformative for cloud editing. Our founder, Dr Stephen Streater, has worked hard over the years to create something quite remarkable.

[mcsean2164] 18/12/2018 14:32

Fantastic they can get a quote like that from Bo. Momentum intensifies!

Good News..... The presentation was a success for this contact alone!

"I had a chance to see this and meet the team last Thursday. Thoroughly impressed and will be incorporating this into future collaborative editing solutions. Blackbird is a game changer."


More and more of us video guys see this technology as a game changer now.

Investors yet to catch on!
