The combined business of 7Digital and UBC currently worth about £3 million, which is simply crazy!This after stripping the Boom stake and cash pile here.I don't see this situation remaining as it is for too long. I'm expecting a big move up north..

All that is required is for this company to oil it's PR machine. The story will be bought as it's a very good one.

[siddle] 10/9/2014 13:11

Well there has only been one sell today at 20p, every other trade is a buy.By my calculations, the 7Dig business is currently valued at only a couple of million!The Boom stake is worth around £12 million today and 7Dig has around £7 million in cash. Current market cap here is around £21 million!! So hardly any value ascribed here.Market gone mad or fantastic opportunity to top up? I am tempted as I see Boom going higher..

It's not worth paying any attention to how ADVFN categorises buy or sells, a complete waste of time
If the share price goes down there are more sells than buys and vice versa, it's as simple as that, no matter what peeps will tell you about MM tactics-its a market, it's as simple as that

Ok Smithie, people with dimentia only talk about the past, time to move on, get in today's world which is a different place.

potential existed in 2006 when UBC did its first music down load attempt...
and in 2009 at their 2nd attempt
and all of this time they were working with 7Digital, even though 2 separate cos.

and the potential existed when UBC listed at...was it 260p at current prices....10-14 yrs ago...UBC effectively declared it had failed imo by merging at 29p and raising loads of cash...29p vs 260p or so when it listed....

compare with NBI
its done it the other way round !
it raised money at 100p/share at listing in I think 2006...and has generated profits from operating.....and the share price is now 600p ..without any consolidation !!
and is expected to produce 35p EPS this yr and 39p EPS next yr

35p EPS this yr....when it listed at 100p in 2006 ! stunning.
but listed cos. are supposed to be targetting growth.....raising risk money from mkts to help fund it..

SC has steered UBC from 260p or so....to 22p or so now.
more than a ten bagger....but in the wrong direction !..a divider !

[loobrush] 09/9/2014 16:04

7Digital's business is still not understood by most investors. As things develop I think a clearer picture will emerge and the potential become obvious which is when the price will really take off. A bit of publicity would help this no end.

[bargainbuyer] 09/9/2014 15:40

It looks to be rising on the back of Boom.
Today's news not appreciated yet.
Boom looking to break out again so I would expect a fresh breakout here too.
They might not be able to hold these down for long.

[siddle] 09/9/2014 13:56

Up 5% but a bit of a lacklustre performance considering a very good Rns this morning.. And Boom doing well too.

[smithie6] 09/9/2014 07:51

ah..some news from 7DIG...

Radioplayer ...income...
the UBC results (which it is/was part of) already show us...the UK stations that use it pay close to nil...or nil .

gross profit for all of UBC was 263k....around 10% of turnover...low
and after admin. costs the op. loss was 784k....25% of turnover !!
(hence the pressure/need for UBC to do the corp. action it did and raise loads of cash...
since it was running out of cash faster than we had prev. thought))

----

btw
BBC radio...use Musikbrainz for their data for bands/artists.....California based....
and not data from UBC....

and from what I can see....playerlist function...allows you to transfer your playlist to other services....such as Spotify...and lists 4 choices....7DIG is not one of the 4....
which surprised me since UBC has worked with BBC for donkeys years...

so...for those 2 things on the BBC radio website....7DIG does not appear to be part of the action

[masurenguy] 09/9/2014 07:46

Great news indeed. However, it would also be interesting to obtain some broader perspective on the likely value of the annual recurring income that might be generated as a result of this key deal.

[sweenoid] 09/9/2014 07:39

Super announcement for Radioplayer this morning in Europes biggest radio market-excellent stuff



Perhaps the most important statement is here

Germany now joins Norway and Belgium in adopting the technology and management at 7digital is confident of further similar deals in the coming months.

It's not ALL about Audioboom!, this company has. Seriously good platform and relationships with ALL those that matter in the music publishing business

Recurring revenue streams are pivotal to success, expect more of the same but Germany is the real biggie to win

Good news flow seems assured, I would assume other big contracts are being processed and negotiated

Nice bit of consolidation in the share price , time to take a rest allow a bit of profit taking

[hjfe] 07/9/2014 17:27

I do think we will see the rise continue this week - once we get past 27p this could re-rate nicely. Newsflow due too which should help.

[sweenoid] 06/9/2014 08:01

Bargain Buyer
Of course its possible, I am far more invested in Audioboom ( at 4p) than here :-), but I think we should all avoid getting too carried away with delusions of grandeur ,punters often believe the volume of posts and interest in bb's affects a SP, it doesn't, ramps and de ramps only influence the weakest inconsequential peeps with the smallest holdings.

Best wishes
Dave

[bargainbuyer] 06/9/2014 00:47

Sweenoid, point taken that was maybe a bit rampy but I still stick to a future valuation of a billion pounds Boom without attributing it to anyone. They have a good team over there and it's all possible in social media as you must know. These things can easily go viral.
The point is if it does, this will now probably see the biggest percentage gain. The floating of Boom could most definitely be a master stroke and 7dig shareholders.

[siddle] 05/9/2014 17:20

Agreed, BOOM holding aside, they do seem to have a great deal of potential within their own business space.I found the recent article below very useful..7Digital targets 'lean-back' listeners after UBC tie-up21 AUGUST, 2014 | BY ALEX FARBER7Digital plans to target the "passive massive" with a host of "lean-back" digital radio services following its tie-up with radio production company UBC Media.The newly formed business, created after UBC finalised a £16.5m reverse takeover of 7Digital in May, is planning to use its strong ties with broadcasters to take on the likes of Pandora with a white- label, personalised radio offering.It will also tap into UBC's heritage in radio production, via divisions including Unique and Smooth Operations, to offer clients the opportunity to order editorial programming such as entertainment news, artist inter- views and documentaries.7Digital chief executive Simon Cole, previously head of UBC, said the tie-up was a "handbrake turn" for the traditional radio production business, which is now targeting clients including broadcasters and mobile operators. It is also talking to automotive companies with connected in-car stereo services."When most middle-of-the-road radio stations go digital, their listeners want something easy, and people who can create lean-back services will benefit," he said.Cole added that while 7Digital was previously providing similar digital music experiences, UBC's editorial team would help to inform the curation of the services.While the likes of Apple offer radio services that can be plugged into a website, many businesses are keen to launch a bespoke service and own the listener data received. "The radio and music streaming worlds are coming together and we are sitting in the middle between broadcasters and the digital music industry," Cole said.The 7Digital and UBC tie-up was sparked by a decline in the value of business the latter has secured from the BBC, the chief commissioner of its radio content."In many ways, this deal helps the BBC, which doesn't want its service companies overly reliant on it," said Cole. "We are now in a position where we can afford to take the margins it offers."http://m.broadcastnow.co.uk/5076452.article

Sweenoid as regards long term chart, ! believe the chart is correct as it shows what the price was just prior to issue of new shares and what the company was valued at then.
Whilst the additional share issue was at a lower price one could have expected it to RISE from this point, like Audioboom, however it dropped as investors weren't convinced of the investment case.
Now some awareness of the value and potential of 7digital is becoming clearer I fully expect the value to get to a point higher than the 60 p odd high.

7digital has only really got any attention in the last few days, once more investors become aware of the potential here price will really start to move.
Still way to cheap.

[sweenoid] 05/9/2014 15:32

Shares are tightly held here and 55% of the share issue is 'locked in' for another 9 months at least, so in effect this stock is very illiquid.

The mM's walked the price down from the offer price of 27p to 15p ( after a very shortly held rise to 32p) on minuscule volumes, it was being marked down 5% a day at times with less than 10000 shares traded, we therefore have a strong concrete bottomed floor of 15p.

I believe we only need small buying volume and more importantly positive sentiment to implement a rise back to the offer price ( directors DID buy in at that price )

At present the sentiment driver is the known association and 18.8 % holding in Audioboom. Hopefully management will be winning B2B contracts and expanding and winning new clients, its worth reading the admission documents to get a flavour of managements ambitions here. I do not believe that Donald Cruikshank would have accepted the role of Chairman of this company without considering it to be a potentially very profitable going concern, why blot his excellent business record ?

Tempted to top up ;-)

Wish we could get rid of that long term chart , its incorrect and deceives new potential investors !! This company STARTED LIFE at 27p period

They being sold at the full offer but even so, extremely difficult to buy any.
