"STV (STVG) and ITV (ITV) – Free-to-air TV might seem an obvious area of structural decline, but both STV and ITV have sizeable production businesses within the group. These businesses are growing and serving a global audience. For example, STV won a series commission from Netflix in March. Meanwhile, free-to-air television still commands a significant audience that remains difficult to replicate online in its ‘brand-building’ ability. Investors may eventually begin to think of STV and ITV as studio businesses with a free-to-air business attached, which would lead to a very different group valuation"

I doubt ITV will be in the frame as the competition authorities would be all over it, as would the Scots Nats. But I agree, it looks very vulnerable to a move by a European.US media group keen to get hold of their broadcasting licence, advertising network, programme back catalogue, and of course access to an impressive array of production talent. Absolutely crazy valuation - Simon Pitts talks a good game but so far the board has done nothing to arrest the slide - no share buyback, little in the way of director purchases etc....if a bid comes (as I think it will) then once again UK plc will kick itself for the complete lack of support for UK companies from long term investors. MiFId, Gordon Brown, Pension regulations, liability matching (that didnt work well given the slide in bond prices) FCA etc are strangling support for enterprise in the UK....

I posted this on the Wincanton thread but as pdosullivan mentions above it may give some insight on the potential change in pension liabilities.



some excerpts from the article: -

"It was the stock market surprise of the week: Wincanton, the trucking company, delighted investors on Wednesday by announcing that its staff pension scheme had dramatically swung back into surplus for the first time in decades.

The company would not now have to make previously promised contributions to the scheme of about £25 million a year for the next four years. And it was immediately released from restrictions on how much it could pay shareholders in dividends."

.....

"Like many UK companies with long histories, Wincanton had been the prisoner of defined benefit pension promises going back decades. It has a market value of about £400 million but until recently its pension fund was three times bigger with about £1.2 billion of outstanding promises to 12,800 current and former lorry drivers and warehouse workers."

Just caught up on yesterday's investor meet presentation on the recent Greenbird Media acquisition.

All very positive, immediately earnings enhancing, all financed from existing resources, debt covenants still at the lower end of the range, has achieved their target of diversifying earnings with studios now almost equal to broadcast. The STV creative labels has more than doubled from 9 to 24, the returning series has more than trebled from 12 to 39. Of the 15 new labels 3 are already majority owned, 6 are large minority stakes between 25 and 40% and 6 are minority c5% and this allows STV to monitor the growth and pursue further M & A by increasing stakes in these various studio labels.

It's a really comprehensive report which is a super primer for any investors who are unfamiliar with the STVG story.

I have just come off the zoom meeting the company held for investors. I thought each of the presenters and what they had to say were impressive. I would recommend potential investors to take a look at the recording on the company website.

Very positive announcement continuing the drip feed of good news. STVG operates under the radar, a great stock for a long-term investor but not one for trading because of the spread - which no doubt accounts for why this Board is always so quiet!

Hi Bonsai, today's trading update de-risked STVG and allows holders like us to enjoy the ride. And I think we will make good further progress throughout the year. I certainly hope to get to 400p.

On a relatively low market cap it has to be attractive to competitors especially given its attraction to advertisers versus other mechanisms given the growth announced today.

Also as the spread of this stock is large, it is never going to be for traders so it is a share for investors to tuck away and who are happy to believe in the long-term growth story. I averaged up again this morning.
