Hi Mate, yes nice start to the week.

New Level acheived this morning. Nice to see!

We're almost back to the Year High from December 20th. Roll on!

Forgot to add Director Margaret Ford purchased Shares @ 316.9p in October '13. I'm sure she was confident to buy at that level. There was a substantial rise during October, so, as said a bit of profit has been mopped up.

Hi Novice78, as I mentioned in December, there's a Broker Target of 440p which offers scope into this new year. I wouldn't think you' d need " Years" to recover a circa 7% drop from your buying price. I note from STV's website that on the Financial Calendar on 06 March 2014 we get the Full Year results and on 23 April 2014 there's the AGM and Interim Management Statement - Quarter 1. It's never easy finding the correct entry price but I remember buying ( or topping up ) in ETO last year and it dropped, hanging in I'm well happy now. For now, we're on the slow burner until the next news. Only you can decide to hang in or sell. I am optimistic for the longer term. I guess the 15% stop loss lots of Investors use gives you a margin to hang in for a while. I see no reason for further drops except smaller Investors collecting profits in a slow period and moving on for a faster buck. Take care Mate.

Yes, in my view. The last Interims were positive and STVG's Digital side is looking very positive as you would have read. A new Partner in the USA ___ http://www.redarrow.tv/partners.html ___ Media stocks of this nature are perhaps traded less often than many, hence the wider spread. Novice78 I'm hanging on to my shares in here and looking longer term. This is just my view and if we see further good news we should see some buying.

Well, how nice to see the 300p level broken here Guys. Obviously stuff going on here and the current TalkTalk advertising on TV is positive. Does look like the recent Jefferies downgrade makes them look like a bunch of Toss*rs. RollOn.

Hi Mate, not been online for a few days so missed your footprint. All profit is good, so well done. I know Director sells are sometimes scary. However, when is the right time for a Director to sell? They are looking for profits as well as us, and it appears it hasn't really affected the share price and as mentioned those shares were captured by others and ETO is on track to deliver more. I've been in ETO for some years now and earlier sold blocks far too early. So, I'm in for a longer ride. I'm sure we'll cross paths in the future, so all the best and a Merry Christmas to you and All in here. *

Nice Large Buy @ 08:39 - 18/12 BUY 105623 Shares @ 308.00p = £325,318.84

Looking very positive and appears Darren's shares were snapped up recently. Now Marwyn are to Execise some Warrents and in turn will slighty increase their holding. _____ http://www.investegate.co.uk/entertainment-one--eto-/rns/exercise-of-warrants/201312170700216894V/

Nice Commission for STV Group. _____ http://www.investegate.co.uk/stv-group-plc--stvg-/rns/itv-commissions-brand-new-entertainment-show/201312111215022869V/

Slick Outfit, could well make the £1 into 2014, and good to see the SP back on the block!

The Company announces that on 6th December 2013, Mr Michael Carlton, Chairman of the Company, bought 5,000 ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 125 pence per share. Following this purchase, Mr Carlton has a beneficial and non-beneficial interest in 945,000 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.41 per cent. of the Ordinary Share capital of the Company. (10th December 2013)

Noted the large sell yesterday and it was reported today that ITV plc sold there stock that was held under Granada's name. Suspect they made a nice few bob from STV with this year's rise in the share price. Could be a good time for a top up as we haven't seen the SP under 300p for a while now. ( Latest broker target is 440p. )

Well, it appears the Market ignored Jefferies downgrade of 05-Dec-13 . I wonder what they had in mind !

Very positive pre AGM Statement indeed.

Creeping up and good to see.

ETO is doing good and Darren Throop, Chief Executive Officer of Entertainment One, takes some profit in four rounds of shares in the international entertainment company, reducing his stake by a total of 785,789 shares to 8.4m. While 69,239 shares were traded in at 239.2p each, the remainder were sold for 241.1p, earning Throop a total of £1.89m over a period of seven days. The sales come after the FTSE 250-listed group in November revealed it had more than doubled its earnings in the first half, thanks to strong acquisition-fuelled growth in its film distribution business. The acquisitive Canadian film and TV distributor bought rival Alliance Films from owner Goldman Sachs in January, which greatly helped increase its content library and drove "significant" revenue growth in the film division, lifting group turnover 65% to £364.5m. The purchase of Alliance and more than doubling its investment in content rights has grown the film, television and music content library by 70% to $650m in the period, with further investment expected in the second half. Speaking at the announcement of the results, Throop said he looked forward to a positive second half of the year in line with management expectations, with the film division set for another strong slate of releases and television on track to deliver a year-on-year increase in the volume of programming. ( Looking Good I'd say ! )

BT accused by Sky and TalkTalk of unfair accounting practices BT Group has been reported to telecoms regulator Ofcom for unfairly charging rivals BSkyB and TalkTalk too much for consumer internet and phone lines. Ofcom's review into the fixed line broadband and phone services market has required BT to explain any changes to how costs are allocated in its annual accounts. After analysing BT's regulatory submission to Ofcom's review process, TalkTalk has alleged that BT had used "accounting tricks" to shift around £120m worth of unusual costs from businesses onto consumer broadband and phone lines. TalkTalk has suggested that the annual cost of a single unbundled consumer line could increase by £7.31 to £109.88. According a report in the The Daily Telegraph, some of the costs include £21m of claims compensation, an annual sum of £10m for BT's longstanding no-compulsory-redundancy policy, and £67m from a reorganisation of BT's Technology, Service & Operations. A TalkTalk spokeswoman said: "It is simply wrong that BT is using accounting tricks that will increase people's bills." TalkTalk said part of the impact of BT's accounting practices was to shift costs from business products, where price controls were set last year, to consumer products, which are not set until the coming spring. If Ofcom did not block its proposals, BT would have "double-recovered" its costs, TalkTalk alleged. BT did not address the allegations specifically but countered that it had been transparent as the changes had been published some months ago. "The UK has one of the most heavily regulated telecoms markets in the world and our wholesale prices are amongst the lowest in Europe" a spokeswoman from BT said. "There is intense competition at the retail level, something TalkTalk recognise themselves. Consumers have been getting fantastic value for money with broadband prices falling whilst speeds have been rising." Shares in BT were down 0.38% to 370.8p, while those in TalkTalk were up 0.89% to 268.88p at 10:40 on Wednesday.
