23/5/2025 09:36:32 | I don't know who this clocktower is but he's obviously a grumpy old man. bad mouths stocks all over the place. Gossips and spreads incorrect information, and seems to think very highly of himself with his constant DYOR. Classic penny stock investor day trading in the market. If you don't like a company, sell it, and stop the gossip before you get yourself in to more trouble like you did a few years ago. |  lola27 | |
20/5/2025 07:16:58 | Well done Zinc. |  1gw | |
30/4/2025 10:27:39 | Very pleased to see these results. They've got PBT and operating profit coming through. Share price must catch up with the performance of this company, surely |  4davidc | |
30/4/2025 07:32:15 | Nice set of results, think this will now bounce |  danboris2 | |
17/3/2025 19:07:31 | I didn't watch this live but saw it had been posted elsewhere. I am relatively new to this stock. This is worth a watch. hxxps://www.engageinvestor.com/event/4d371385476c |  4davidc | |

10/2/2025 07:14:18 | Looking good, from that TU. |  1gw | |
09/2/2025 20:52:47 | 1gw, I think you are right in your assumptions. It looks like BBC Studios have been awarded the contract to sell the international rights to this quiz. They'll get a commission, which can be around 30%, and Zinc will get the rest. If this sells well in other countries this could be very lucrative for Zinc as there are no production costs, so any revenue will be at 100% margin once BBC have taken their commission |  lola27 | |
08/2/2025 16:49:10 | We can all read the release, but does anyone know what it means? My assumption was that as they own the IP, Zinc will get a cut from international sales. BBC Studios seems to me to be the distributor, which you could argue is a win-win for Zinc as BBC Studios is likely to have a good international network already set up, so it saves Zinc from having to invest to beef up its own international marketing. But the distributor will clearly take a cut as well.
If I ask ChatGPT it seems to agree with this interpretation. "As the IP onwer, Zinc Media retains underlying rights to the show, meaning they have a claim to licensing fees, royalties, or a share of revenue when the format is sold abroad."
If this is the right interpretation, then how good for Zinc it is will obviously depend on how attractive the show is internationally once buyers have seen the format perform in the UK, and then on what the revenue-sharing arrangements (if any) are between Zinc and BBC Studios. |  1gw | |
08/2/2025 14:08:09 | Zinc owns the programme and format IP for this show, with international programme and format sales being led by BBC Studios. |  toffeeman | |
07/2/2025 19:34:42 | They do get international revenue, and this could be significant if this quiz sells around the world. From what they said in the RNS, BBC Studios are the sales company for this quiz. |  lola27 | |
30/1/2025 12:21:32 | But they don't get international revenues? |  toffeeman | |
30/1/2025 07:36:26 | They got the BBC quiz and own the IP format. Well done Zinc. |  1gw | |
01/12/2024 21:14:30 | Rumours of another book build taking place… |  ukdannyboy | |
29/11/2024 14:18:06 | So how much of the loss was down to Mark Brownings fat pay packet?
How man years has he been in the job now?
Jam tomorrow still the story. |  clocktower | |
02/10/2024 11:23:11 | Another polished performance and a pretty compelling story I thought. Did you watch it?
Shame about the shareprice. Have to hope one of those transformative options gets landed soon. |  1gw | |
17/9/2024 07:28:55 | The shareprice was in need of a bit of good news so that's a welcome rns today. |  1gw | |
08/8/2024 11:50:07 | Zinc Media Group plc (AIM: ZIN), the award-winning television, brand and audio production group, was notified on 7 August 2024 that Mark Browning, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, purchased 20,825 ordinary shares of 0.125 pence in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 71.70 pence per Ordinary Share.
Following the transaction, Mark Browning's interest in the Company is 396,958 Ordinary Shares, representing 1.74 per cent. of the Company's issued Ordinary Shares. |  davidosh | |
11/7/2024 07:33:21 | current share price is significantly lower than where it was when the last CEO left |  danboris2 | |
10/7/2024 12:39:11 | Elliott86, maybe your hero worship is misplaced.
Remember what the share price was before MB - remember the consolidation, I think you will find the share price only touched those levels for a short time and still sits below the level it was I believe.
So what benefits have old shareholders gained over the years, as he talked the talk but has done nothing to restore the value to any reasonable level.
Maybe you would like to set out all the figures on this thread, and show the benefits to old stake holders.🤣 |  clocktower | |
10/7/2024 12:01:19 | Why are you so fixated on his salary on every comment you make. But then you love being negative so we know what to expect from you. It seems to me he’s done exactly what he was hired to do which is fix this previously failing company and set it on the right path, which is clear from their most recent results. From what i can see from the annual reports, he has been on the same pay since he joined and actually earned less last year than in any previous year with Zinc. Given inflation over the last few year i would suggest the board needs to be careful they don’t lose him now as the last thing us long-suffering shareholders need is another CEO change. Looking at this TU, I agree with 1gw that this looks like a massive over reaction off a very small number of trades. |  elliott86 | |
