IMD reaches agreement with ITV for advertising delivery


The Board of Independent Media Distributions ("IMD") is pleased to announce that
IMD has signed an agreement with ITV for the implementation of its digital
advertising delivery service into both of ITV's transmission centres in London
and Leeds.


ITV's decision to receive its commercials via IMD's bespoke system is of major
strategic importance as it will enable IMD to offer advertisers virtually full
digital connectivity to the UK and Irish broadcasting networks, with existing
users of the system now including BSkyB recently also added to the network.


Negotiations for this development have been underway for several months and IMD
has during this period made substantial progress in the build out. This requires
not only sophisticated systems in the broadcasting premises but also preparation
for much larger volumes of advertising being processed through the head office
hub.


Total costs of the development and preparation for the larger volumes not
originally budgeted are expected to be approximately #700,000 of which half has
been incurred prior to the end of June with the balance in the second half.
Capital expenditure for the UK rollout will be substantially completed with this
installation.


On the assumption that radio industry advertising revenues continue to remain
depressed in line with the first half and that material revenues resulting from
ITV do not commence until 2006, it is considered unlikely that IMD will achieve
a result materially ahead of break even for the current year.


IMD expects to generate substantial additional revenue from television as a
direct result of this installation. These revenues are expected to impact in the New Year.

No pain no gain!

As VNP says, biggest volume for a quarter - somebody may know something...

[shootthroughtheroof] 22/7/2005 17:37

Still bubbling away Hastings, turned the corner for sure. Thanks for the link VNP.

[veryniceperson] 22/7/2005 15:29

+ 2.5 Some big trades going through, is something going on, an announcement just around the corner. Anyone in the Know?

[veryniceperson] 20/7/2005 20:16

There was a press release today. This is why the price rise, was properly hanging around somewhere before the release.

[wjccghcc] 18/7/2005 19:21

I'm waiting for the results before re-entering. This is quite illiquid and can move sharply in both directions. Also, it tends to leak like a sieve. The AGM statement was pretty downbeat and the rising competition they refer to worries me enough to offset the TV potential.

[veryniceperson] 18/7/2005 18:18

Welcome aboard. Hope you are right shoot. I quote this with a wink. An old fisherman once told me that the two things to remember in life are "don't hurry and don't worry". Hum Hum, I hurry and I worry, never could take good advice. Good Luck Shoot.

[shootthroughtheroof] 18/7/2005 17:47

Been away for 10 days came home 7 – 8 points up [that's life] so took the plunge today, turned corner I believe.

[hastings] 18/7/2005 14:45

BUBBLING AWAY VERY NICELY!

[larousse] 18/7/2005 11:05

Up 3.5p on not much...

Only 4 trades. Still, nice to be on a climbing trend for a change

[veryniceperson] 15/7/2005 09:55

We seem to be moving north again.

[veryniceperson] 14/7/2005 14:33

Another tick up today so far. Makes you wonder if these have bottomed out? Perhaps there is a bit of a turn around? Can just keep heading north

[veryniceperson] 13/7/2005 17:32

Quite day after yesterday expected a little more action today.

[veryniceperson] 06/7/2005 10:42

I Think ITV news is a different company PT3, and those other are more regional. The aforementioned could be completely wrong. Perhaps some body could put us right? Think at the moment with the price the shares are cheap.

[pt3] 06/7/2005 09:42

I notice that on their web-site that 'ITV Sales' appears for quite a few channels. Does this mean that ITV have signed up?

[veryniceperson] 05/7/2005 17:36

Think your right shoot, overdone. They look a right bargain now but with this market who knows. Its just a pity they can't put out some bullish news ITV or bigger still. Have noticed on there web site a lot of international channels springing up which has to be a good sign. £1.50 by Christmas then me and Larousse will be rocking around the Christmas tree!

[larousse] 05/7/2005 16:39

Look at the share price vs the volume bars below. Every time the mm's had a big trade - or trades - to move, the price was marked down to enable them to move the stock.

We know the way it works with IMD - where the market isn't that big - any volume on no / poor news and you can see the effect on the price.

The only saving grace is that it's just as likely to move the other way at the same pace on better news.

But I can't answer your question about the end of the selling - I just don't know.

[shootthroughtheroof] 05/7/2005 14:31

Still sitting on the side. I think this drop has been seriously over done. Will they drifted any lower?

[shootthroughtheroof] 28/6/2005 19:54

These have taken a tumble over the past 9 months over done by the look of things. Might just have a few of these, look good to hold and a dividend to boot!

[hastings] 23/6/2005 16:37

And a nice 35k trade at 39p, perhaps ITV has signed up, now that would be good news. And before you ask VNP yes i am back in and not at 39p;-)

[hastings] 23/6/2005 15:34

Something stirring here perhaps!

It might be short lived but nice to see a small rise, it makes up for yesterday!

[hastings] 22/6/2005 13:20

The mark down today is surely not based on the 3k reported sale, must be a few more delayed.
