Great post Dazzaa, the I is going to have a great year next year, as the only growing paid for circulation newspaper, the I is sure to be gaining a greater market share, with more agencies choosing to include the I in their advertising campaigns.

I also note they haven't been selling any wraps since the readers were not happy with this policy?

[dazzaa] 25/11/2016 21:15

Best ever for the i 18 or maybe more pages of advertising including double spread by Porche & BT.It will be interesting if we have near that tomorrow.

Jpr's office is a deckchair and an answerphone in the caretakers cupboard .. haha

I think you will find that the address is shared by multiple different companies.

lol, even if they are paying rent get out!

Do Johnson Press own the freehold (or long lease hold) of this property:
2 Cavendish Square, Marylebone, London W1G 0AN (their HQ)?
If they do that will be worth a fortune!!!

What on earth are they doing having an HQ in London - they are a regional and Scottish paper??

Get rid of it


Zoopla say the next door property is worth £26 MILLION

oracle is right there, they just refereed to JP as owners of. . . .
It was a descriptive term
plenty of volume again today,can only be good, looking forward to some news

[jamdan1] 16/11/2016 14:07

News coming?

[oracle one] 16/11/2016 12:06

I believe the news story in The Sunday Times stated Jpress own The Scotsman & Yorkshire Post - not that they were titles they planned to sell !

[mrx9000] 16/11/2016 07:51

I think selling the scotsman would be a good move in my opinion.

[joker199] 15/11/2016 23:39

The Scotsman? We're all doomed if that's the case!!

[extrader] 15/11/2016 19:00

Hi mrx9000,

I believe the origunal Sunday Times article mentioned The Scotsman and the Yorkshire Post....maybe meatier prospects ?

ATB

[mrx9000] 15/11/2016 16:16

Nick: £40m would be for a lot more titles than just the ones in the east. The ones in the east will be for less than £10m

[nick rubens] 15/11/2016 15:54

Next RNS should be interesting, possibly raising £40m plus on selling those regional titles as reported in Sunday Press.

[dazzaa] 15/11/2016 09:54

That is an interesting thought mrx!

[mrx9000] 15/11/2016 09:32

Can anyone make anything out from the newsquest accounts at companies house, moving to a £189m cash pile? And late filing their accounts? Could it be conceivable that they could of been buying JPs bonds on the cheap, earning 8% interest and for which they could conceivably make a bid, knowing full well they have saved a fair bit on the bonds, surrly a no brainer and a win win situation for which they cannot lose either way? Thoughts on a postcard...

[nick rubens] 15/11/2016 08:07

Wow what happened share price much higher than yesterday this am. The RNS may have given some confidence back.

[mrx9000] 14/11/2016 18:17

The eastern titles will not fetch that much, so I wouldn't get to excited about them in my honest opinion. In regard, being listed as core, sub core etc, you have to look at overall costs. One would assume that the Isle of Man titles have to be printed offshore and shipped over and perhaps like the eastern titles not an area that they want anymore.

[yasrub] 14/11/2016 16:35

Whilst trade volume has increased today it does not strike me that many are getting too excited, but share price seems very sensitive to even a few buy trades in a row.

[philjeans] 14/11/2016 16:20

Will match the recent 20p and double from there when we have the actual deal details.

Miles of blue sky up there!

[nick rubens] 14/11/2016 15:37

Late stage talks, so it shouldnt be too far away before we hear of something.

[mrx9000] 14/11/2016 14:24

Anyone notice Newsquest are late filing their accounts...


I also note the statement of capital change on the above link since the allotment of shares... anyone shed any light on whey they would of done that?

[kulvinder] 14/11/2016 12:03

Somebody does not want the share price to rise as yet, hence the hurry to issue an RNS...
