Just checked out twitter and has 644k followers, so my assumption that 100k take up the no ad offer £2 pm or £20 please Annum is not off the scales, cheap as chips. So £2.4mil just from one part of the business. Scale up to the nationals Mirror Express Star Hello Magazine, and with 12 million subscribers Already booked if the best case half starts to pay, well the figures to the bottom line would be phenomenal. £6-8 a share would be in order. IMHO.
Mullins is the one holding us back as company I hope people vote to oust him but the big boy will [probably chicken out of the dirty deed. Time to go Jimmy Boy

£1.99 a month ad free eventually the penny has dropped. 100k subscription x £2 per month, £2.4 million a year. should have been a bit bolder on the pricing. Hopefully this trial works out. So can be replicated. Much potential as I've been saying, hopefully on the early May update we'll see some Indication.
AGM vote has landed so if you're holding shares you have specific option to vote against his re-appointment, check with your broker.
It's not a great look culling jobs while retaining dividend, in terms of staff morale. Would much rather they preserve cash when free cash flow generation so low and while they're on a tightening mission. Then resume payouts if/when times less lean. So I've voted against divi but I'm sure I'll be pretty much only one!
Well, something needs to change, especially as I keep adding. Might be a run up to the dividend xd date on 11th May (4.46p), where I may change my mind if I get cold feet for the longer term.
we need someone to lead the company forward and has some actual solid ideas . What next from Mullen an office on the Moon he really is clue less he should have stuck with the Gambling site Ladbrokes not trying to turn Reach into
Lad Broke it ..................... He has to go
Having been there...converting options to clear income tax liability when sp is depressed is good tax sense. Taking the 45% hit low and converting upside to capital gain at 20% makes perfect sense.
One can argue about whether options should have vested - that is a different discussion.

looks like there could very well be some great news coming for every publisher .
The UK Government is preparing to introduce legislation that would force Google and Facebook to pay for news.

Opinions on this company please ,what caused the FY loss of 118m in 2018 and 26 m in 2020 and the poor profit of 2.19m in 2021, is profitability going to be consistent over the next 3 years? What percentage of the UK population do they reach and what caused the takeover to fall through?
The NYT's head of games explains how games are a key way the subscription powerhouse attracts audiences.
404x here a read just shows how the little things can generate income this is why the NYT has piled on subs

Can't see a paid subscription working for digital if that's what you mean, these are lower grade titles competing with the Mail/Sun/indy locals. We're not talking the New York Times here. There's a reason the Sun ditched their paid for model. Still plenty of opportunity for revenue growth without paywalls, just look at Future, all from affiliate marketing and dynamic advertising.
they should have stopped his 3 mill bonus but allowed him 300,000 shares then he'd have a vested interest in getting the profits and pensions sort then he could reap the rewards when the shares go up ,he gets enough basic pay
How on earth the Big investors haven't given the heave Oh is beyond me ,missing so many opportunities to create a massive increase in the bottom line profit. "What's on the end of the stick Vic?" Hope it his P45 very soon .
Reach still has to ability to be making a fortune out of subscription service .
It's a rare thing that an executive does that. Hats off to our esteemed CEO!
Jim I salute you for not accepting your award of free shares ,now please lead from the front, and seriously investigate a subscription service with ad free and monthly prizes, I personally guarantee you 4 million take up, you will be acclaimed as the saviour. £ 240mill profits less prizes.
Share price £8 plus you will regret not taking your options. But hailed.
FULL STORY ON "HOLD THE FRONT PAGE" AS I SAID PREVIUOSLY MULLINS HAS TO GO TOTALLY OUT OF HIS DEPTH

Pension liabilities are the big headwind of course but my other rationale for buying here is that for those hard drinking 1980s hacks the attrition rate must be accelerating rapidly. For the remaining big legacy issue phone hacking, potential share price catalyst is cases due to be settled this year.
Looks like the job cuts have started

Managed decline has to be the MO here now, at least board are responding to margins tightening up. The only mystery is how they can afford to retain the dividend this year with free cash being generated so thin. Seems a risk to me going into a year with some big unknowns. We all know that during times of stress cash preservation key.
Still overall looks value to me at this price. Not a share to set your pants on fire but recovery potential - as long as they don't run out of cash.
lets prey for a buyout .
It might be tough but until Mullins has gone and we get someone in with business and ideas that actually produces revenue to the bottom line then we re moving nowhere
I'm with Nick - managed to close last week's optimistic trades on Friday while retaining my shirt but only a little ahead. Decided at that point to just stick with my core holding.
Added a modest buy today to average down but nothing silly.
Well, I decided to buy a few again, having been out for some time. Another year ahead to see what happens. Of course the company needs to get it's profitability back on a growth trajectory, but might even be bid for before then.
Might be a disaster. Who knows. I'm already down slightly, As soon as I bought a sudden rush of selling ensued! lol
IF WE CAN GET RID OF MULLINS
