re: chris skase Hi James /Dmitri,

From an advertising perspective, it looks like we must agree to disagree. As for advertising production values, just ask the car industry who they use. Here, I think you will be surprised.

As for TMS, the key is securing high and effective utilisation of their facilities (O/B and studio). Yes, they have a lot of work in play, but they still have slack in their utilisation rates.

In the past, I have commented on this. You are, therefore, welcome to review some of my past postings on this company, dating back to late 2002 (circa October onwards).

I agree that SEV is behind on the digitisation of their O/B network, but part way addressed this during 2004. More to do during 2005.

As for outsourcing their own production /OB work, you may be getting confused here with Granada. The previous output deal here was extended and expanded during 2004. But, in the main, SEV still does most of its own work.
