UBC Media Group plc (UBC.L), the UK's specialist content and radio services company, has today issued the following Trading Update ahead of its Preliminary Results for the year to 31 March 2010 which are expected to be announced on 7th June 2010.
The Company expects sales to have risen by 40% in the last year to approximately £4.9m (2008/9 £3.5m).

The Board is pleased with the progress of its strategy outlined at this stage last year and expects to update the market on that strategy with the Preliminary Results announcement.
