New commission on twitter Zinc Media Group @zinc_media · 11m #BlakewayProductions has been commissioned to make a documentary for the BBC, exploring the life and work of pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim ( @DBarenboim ), widely regarded as the outstanding musical figure of our time.

I'm probably the only person on this thread who is a TV Producer and knows some of these people personally. There's certainly talent at Zinc but they're considered "Old Hat" in the industry, especially Creative Head Roy Ackerman, who's definitely had his day. Most Commissioning Editors are half Roy's age. I once had the chance to buy Zinc's shares but luckily demurred.

Bought into these a while back at 56.8p Great update today, certainly seems to be heading in the right direction. Old thread is full of stale once holders and now derampers. They can stay there.

https://www.zincmedia.com/ https://twitter.com/zinc_media Looks like a great recovery stock The Group's cash position as at 12(th) January stands at GBP5.9m, and the Group expects to issue its final results for the 18 month period ending December 2020 in April. Mark Browning, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "It is very encouraging to see the Group end 2020 with a flurry of new business across all divisions in the Group. I am particularly pleased to see Amazon become a new client with the Group through their Audible division, as this opens up a slate of new opportunities in audio and television. I am also pleased to see the new Zinc Communicate business win new contracts. The Group is operating much more effectively, and now surfacing new opportunities following the structural changes we made in 2020. Lockdown 3 creates yet more uncertainty; however the Group has a strong pipeline and I remain positive that once Covid restrictions lift we will be able to convert more of this pipeline and continue to build revenues again. Once this happens, and following the improvements to our gross margins, and reduced cost base, we will be able to deliver profitability and cash generation.'

UKD - you have been spot on with this before and I suspect you still are. What a pile of Junk this turned out to be, and as lpl1 says full of "sugar- coating". No talk of Profits as expected.

Marketcap £10m - £6m cash, £9.3m booked revs for 2021 (£43m pipeline)

[babbler] 14/1/2021 10:46

They raised in October

[lpl1] 14/1/2021 09:56

There's an awful lot of "sugar-coating" in this update. I agree with UKDannyBoy, btw.

[ukdannyboy] 14/1/2021 09:36

Attempt to boost the price before a placing. Expect one imminently.

[1gw] 14/1/2021 07:27

That's a good positive update this morning.

[lpl1] 01/1/2021 18:13

Their "Creative Management" is old and decrepit. Take it from one who knows. GW has absolutely ZERO knowledge about TV Production - he's in the Oil biz - so how would he be able to ascertain whether their projections are truthful. Anyway, I don't own any shares in this P. scheme........

I'm not invested because I think it's a "great" media company, I'm invested because I think it's an interesting turnaround play – relatively new management, supportive major shareholder (Herald), disillusioned retail shareholder base (judging from advfn), improved financing in place. I view it as high risk, so I accept it might not make it, and clearly the covid restrictions hit their plans in 2020. But to me it still looks interesting and I think the real test will come as they exit the covid restrictions. Can they build on the firmer financial base they have established by growing the top line through new business?

[lpl1] 01/1/2021 11:21

Just checking in guys - Oh dear! GW1, you really should have listened to my sage advice instead of patronising me, mate.There are so many better Media Companies to invest in.....

[toffeeman] 16/12/2020 07:51

Then they would never issue an RNS

[ukdannyboy] 15/12/2020 21:18

ZIN should RNS only when their business plan stretches beyond funding salaries with placings, until then we should all just assume that’s the goal.

[lpl1] 13/12/2020 10:49

CAPITAL "C" criminal, UKDannyboy!

[ukdannyboy] 13/12/2020 09:42

These guys really have rinsed shareholders dry. Almost criminal when you think they’ve never made a penny profit, current market cap £9,000,000 current cash balance £2,000,000(ish), amount raised through placings this year £7,500,000.

[clocktower] 07/12/2020 20:10

BBC programs are as historically records show not that profitable for ZIN as far as I can recall, so be careful, work is not profit and this company is really noted for is paying its directors well and issuing loads of shares etc. Investors have had a disastrous ride. History repeats itself!

[seagulled] 27/11/2020 08:56

yes that is the article. Calling content like that "holy grail" is risible. Or perhaps not since the "holy Grail" doesn't exist and requires faith to believe in the somewhat buy beware promise of eternal youth. Make sure you choose wisely...
