"prying eyes"

Reminds me of GCHQ's strapline:

"Always Listening To Our Customers"

Time for a Veritone deal?

Huge money business in Sports video Clips!



The growth in value of in-play clip and short-form highlights rights will outstrip the growth in value of live rights according to five-year projections by Two Circles.

Using its proprietary media-modelling techniques, the data-driven sports marketing agency projects the global sports media rights market will be worth $60.9 billion (€50.7bn) in 2024

Yes! Did someone say something? Speak up!

[bonio10000] 18/10/2019 13:04

Someone will have bought those. Will appear at 17.15.

Would love to know the lead time on deals. For example, when we first started to talk to A&E or the Department not State.

[sideshowbull] 18/10/2019 12:21

Weird thing is (like last Friday) they are offering only max 50k at market 16p.

[astralvision] 18/10/2019 10:58

Mr 100k in for another sack.

[sideshowbull] 18/10/2019 09:18

Friday deja vu.

Thanks Chris I just learned a new word "moribund". Who knew.

Also a new one from Horne "Gambol". Cheers for that too.

I think we are heading in the right direction. I think IM has a clue.

Or "to play like new born lambs". Full of innocence and the joys of life. That's our lot in BIRD. But it's a nasty world out there. I can think of at least 4 different ways to extract value from a company that will leave the holders of as much (or more) as 30% of the shares impotent to stop it. P*ss off the shareholders and a deal at much less than they might like is on the cards. Personally I want what they want but patience comes at a price like... being properly informed. Will the company break even in 2020 on current forecasts? That would do as a starter... nothing tied to a particular client. But they have gone native again with only what they are legally obliged to disclosed published. It doesn't improve shareholder value. Next AGM I will finally get off my backside and look to vote off moribund directors who contribute little or no value. It won't succeed but it will send a signal.

Gambol = crack and hookers.
God forbid they should even think about gambling!

[bonio10000] 17/10/2019 11:53

Hookers' cracks?

[denjon] 17/10/2019 11:44

When will our ship full of treasure arrive? Perhaps its just out of sight over the horizon waiting for tomorrow's inflowing tide. Best be up early just in case...

[sideshowbull] 17/10/2019 11:35

Crack and hookers more like it.

[horneblower] 17/10/2019 10:43

...to have a bit of a gambol :)

IBC is for Europe

NAB Las Vegas is THE show and they fly in from around the world.

[chriscallen] 17/10/2019 09:35

The NY NAB say in the blurb that 2/3rds of the attendees go to no other show... not a surprise when it is over 2,200 miles and just under 5 hrs to Las Vegas. Cairo is about as far from Heathrow and that has camels and pyramids as an added attraction; perhaps IBC could use it as a venue in alternate years?

Have BIRD done joint presentations with TownNews before?

[nickb] 17/10/2019 09:18

It’s NAB New York so a small show compared to the big NAB in Las Vegas in April


TownNews has a stand.

[bonio10000] 17/10/2019 07:33

Maybe they got double booked with Microsoft and Google?

[sideshowbull] 17/10/2019 07:31

Surely they must be at NAB. Unless there is no need any more?
