Watching this one closey. If EOY 2014 results suggest H2 was cashflow positive (thus cancelling H1's small loss) then 2M MC would quickly become 5M MC and potnetially 10M MC (5 bagger from current levels) if strong forecasts for 2015 are made. Currently there is a seller here offloading in 500 chunks, they have offloaded 6000 shares here thus far hence giving this surpressed current SP. In the next 4-8weeks here things could we a whole lot more lively once the seller stops and IF strong EOY results are posted. Certainly dont see much downside from current levels.
Yesterdays RNS looked encouraging.
Celebrity Squares alone should justify most of the current mcap http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/commissioning/celebrity-squares-worth-22m-to-dcd/5072446.article

cgod 16 Jan'15 - 07:44 - 209 of 220 1 0 If we are not taken out in the mean time, I am looking at £250.00 per share plus.
cgod 15 Jan'15 - 22:10 - 206 of 220 0 0 So you are looking at 8p and 5p pre consolidation, so today we are at 0.420p, and some of us are saying its not worth getting involved with. Again I will say this is not a punters or traders stock, but 12-18 months could be Mega, and we are now getting lots of news flow in RNSs. Only 22% of the shares can be traded and a lot are in pension funds. Happy to hold, but I have been saying this from £1.90p and still buying, another 200 today. Its not all about running with the pack. someuwin 15 Jan'15 - 22:19 - 207 of 220 0 0 This one is certainly a weird share, But I wouldn't rule anything out. £50, £80 even £100+ is conceivable here. (the comparison with the QXL share price is appropriate imo)
someuwin 16 Jan'15 - 10:55 - 220 of 220 0 0 To put the rise in context, even at £50 per share DCD will still be valued at only £20m
Remarkable really, only 87,000 shares available to trade
cgod 16 Jan'15 - 08:16 - 211 of 220 0 0 And more NEWS !!! Darcey Bussell's Looking for Audrey Ratings: 2.23m (15.4%). 2nd highest share of the eve for BBC1 - catch up now Http://bbc.in/1DIj5wa This is taken from C21Media The firm said in June last year it would focus more on its distribution business, which it’s aiming to scale against the backdrop of high-level M&A activity across the TV business.
DCD Rights Takes Matchlight Content to International Broadcasters Independent distributor DCD Rights has shipped Matchlight’s latest factual specials to international broadcasters ahead of NATPE, as it prepares to showcase three brand new titles from the Glasgow based indie in Miami. Following its premiere last month on BBC1 in the UK, Darcey Bussell's Looking For Audrey has been secured by SIC in Portugal and Foxtel in Australia. The one-hour HD special sees the former Royal Ballet star and Strictly Come Dancing judge taking a personal look at the remarkable life of the iconic screen goddess. In addition, Russell Brand: End The Drugs War, a one-hour HD special for BBC1 / BBC3 in which the ex-addict puts forward a strong case to reform heroin addiction treatment, has been picked up by NRK Norway. DCD Rights will debut three brand new HD factual titles from Matchlight at NATPE 2015 later this month. In The Longest War: Women & Power, a ground-breaking three-part series for BBC4, Professor Amanda Vickery tells the story of the long war to give women an equal share of power – bringing to life the heroic women (and a few men) brave enough to demand equality for all. Transplant Tales, a 2 x 60’ series for BBC1, follows the lives of people on the organ transplant waiting list, with unique access to six transplant units, and investigates how medics are being driven to find new medical innovations to contend with the chronic shortage of organ donors. Finally, in one-hour special Joan Of Arc: God’s Warrior, writer and historian Dr Helen Castor explores the life – and death – of the iconic Joan of Arc, unpicking the real story of the teenage peasant girl who achieved the seemingly impossible. Rick Barker, Head of Sales at DCD Rights comments, “The demand for high quality primetime factual content remains very high in the international marketplace and Matchlight consistently delivers in this genre. Their recent specials, led by globally renowned personalities who are passionate about their subject matter, are generating a great deal of interest amongst our clients and we’re expecting to conclude more deals for these shows at NATPE alongside launching three fantastic new titles.”
Taken from the recent interim results: The DCD Media Board has taken the appropriate steps to restructure operations, to focus more on the international rights business while taking action to mitigate the risks inherent in the challenging production environment. We are now anticipating an expansion of the rights business into lucrative genres which will help to exploit the maximum value from our rapidly growing library. The outlook in the short to medium term is encouraging, being content rich in distribution; the foundation is laid for accelerated growth. We are also well-placed now to benefit from the array of broadcaster engagements in the production division, having adjusted the cost base and focused attention on business winners. These developments, we believe, position DCD Media well for a return to profitability. Also, debt is likely to be paid off now as this was due to take place last month: "We are delighted to report that we are almost through the turnaround cycle with a return to economic and financial stability in sight. We have all but completed the repayment of the term debt which had previously caused the business to be radically weakened. "The focus on the international rights distribution business continues to excite and we are delighted to welcome Nicky Davies Williams to the Board. And while we have faced tough challenges in the production divisions, we now look forward to progressing with a leaner business." With restructuring costs to be taken out of the equation in future financial statements and the amount of commissions the company is winning lately we should return to profitability pretty quickly... I can't believe a company of this size is trading at a £1.27M mcap currently! They have just won a 'multi-million dollar' commission for Penn & Teller. When the market wakes up to the potential here it could be explosive... GLA

Trading update...
Could be a very interesting day with DCD... The market cap is tiny and very few shares on offer! GLA!
Includes - CEO David Craven commented: "The Board is aware of the significant decline in the Group's share price over recent months and I would like to assure all shareholders that we continue to work to deliver sustained growth and shareholder value across a balanced business."
Getting interesting now - no reason really why small trades are causing massive share price crashes... news coming?
Amazed there has not been a sell off after the RNS today. More loan notes convertible at £ 1.00 !!! Shareholder destruction here has been unreal....
Are worth more than their Market Cap!

22 May 2014 DCD Media Plc ("DCD Media" or the "Group") New Contracts DCD Media wins primetime ITV commission Independent TV producer DCD Media is pleased to announce it has won a commission for a new primetime series of the comedy game show Celebrity Squares for ITV and that it has won a tender to represent the prestigious Open University programming catalogue internationally. Celebrity Squares September Films Ltd, a DCD Media group company, has won a commission to co-produce with GroupM Entertainment a new primetime version of the comedy game show Celebrity Squares for ITV. The series will generate revenue of GBP2.2 million for DCD Media and will be aired later in the summer. Hosted by Warwick Davis, the classic entertainment show features A-list celebrity stars as panellists in the initial run of seven shows which will be produced at ITV studios by DCD Media's Executive Producer Bob Massie and GroupM Entertainment's Abigail Adams. Celebrity Squares is a format of the legendary comedy game show Hollywood Squares from CBS Studios International and is based on the classic noughts and crosses theme laced with quick wit and repartee. A celebrity guest inhabits each square and contestants are asked to guess whether the celebrity will be able to answer a question put to them by the host. David Craven, CEO of DCD Media today commented, "The show's concept is an iconic favourite and viewers are responding well to exciting and innovative ways of producing primetime game show classics. Warwick Davis is an excellent choice of host who will create a highly entertaining dynamic with the panellists." Celebrity Squares, originally hosted by Bob Monkhouse in the 1970s and revived again in the 1990s, has traditionally enjoyed long runs with a popular list of celebrity panellists. Bob Massie commented, "September Films has a track record of creating engaging content and this series will be a welcome addition to our screens." Timeweave Limited, one of DCD Media's largest shareholders, is providing September Films with a short term GBP2.4m unsecured loan to fund the production and recoverable VAT, to be repaid by 11 August 2014. Under the terms of the loan, DCD expects to pay Timeweave a total of GBP70,000 for interest, arrangement fee and costs. The Independent Director, David Green, considers, having consulted finnCap as nominated adviser to the Company, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
