27-10-09	Motive Television - Contract Win	RNS
RNS Number : 4337B Motive Television PLC 27 October 2009 MOTIVE TELEVISION PLC (the "Company" or "Motive") CONTRACT WIN Motive's Manchester-based production business, Scarlet Television Ltd, has been contracted by the BBC to produce a major documentary programme featuring Rosa Monckton. The programme, provisionally entitled "When Loving Your Child Is Not Enough," will be broadcast on BBC1. In the programme, successful businesswoman, charity worker and confidante of the late Princess Diana, Rosa Monckton explores the realities of families caring for disabled children in a frank and moving documentary. With the backdrop of headline grabbing tragic cases in which desperate mothers, such as Fiona Pilkington, killed themselves and their child because they could no longer face the daily reality of their lives. Rosa, who herself has a child with Down's syndrome, admits that she too has felt a "crushing despair." "I remember picking her up and actually saying: 'I can not take this any more' and I shook her and I shook her then something snapped in my head and I realised what I was doing," explains Rosa. Since the birth of her daughter Domenica, Rosa has campaigned for the rights of disabled children and their families. After the recent shocking high profile cases in which mothers have killed their disabled children, she tries to find out how easy it is for families to reach the edge of desperation. She also discovers how the maze of bureaucracy often prevents families getting the help they need. She meets parents who are struggling to come to terms with their toddler's disability; those who are striving to cope with everyday economic hardships, as well as caring for their child, and also the families of those who found they were unable to cope and in the end had to let go of children they dearly love. For Asher Nardone, aged 39, the difficulties of caring for her son Callum, who has cerebral palsy, were intensified by the abuse she suffered from neighbours after she was re-housed by the council. While visiting Asher and her two children, Rosa experiences this first hand. "The reality is that it's commonplace for families with disabled children to become targets of abuse." says Rosa. At the other end of the spectrum, Rosa talks to David Cameron about his disabled son Ivan, who died recently. David says: "The parents of disabled children are not angels. They don't choose it. It's what fate deals them. You learn all kinds of ways of loving someone who can't tell you that they love you. The most profound thing is having had this most incredible person in your life." This programme is the latest in a number of BBC commissions for Scarlet Television, and another significant BBC commission will be announced shortly.

25-09-09	Motive Television - Contract Win and General Meeting	RNS
RNS Number : 6382Z Motive Television PLC 25 September 2009 MOTIVE TELEVISION PLC (THE "COMPANY" OR "MOTIVE") CONTRACT WIN AND GENERAL MEETING CONTRACT WIN The Board of the Motive is pleased to announce that the Company's Dublin-based production arm has signed a three-year contract, worth EUR1.725m, with Irish commercial broadcaster TV3 to produce 38 live UEFA Champions League and Europa Cup football matches for the channel. The programmes will be co-produced with Asgard Media. Motive and Asgard Media already have a three-year contract with TV3, for the production of live GAA Championship football and hurling. GENERAL MEETING As part of the completion of the strategic review and repositioning of the Company to become a provider of digital terrestrial television technology as already announced, the Board has considered the loans made by Motive Television PLC to its subsidiary television production businesses. In light of the current low level of production commissioning, the Board has decided to take a prudent view as to the amount that may be recovered from these loans. As a consequence of this review the Company's net assets may be half or less than half of its called up share capital. It is therefore a requirement that the Company convene a general meeting to consider whether any, and if so what, steps should be taken as a consequence of the Company's net assets being half or less than half of its called up share capital. A circular has been sent to shareholders explaining the position and the general meeting will be held on 21 October 2009 at 11.30 am at the Company's offices at 21-25 St Anne's Court, London W1F 0BJ For further information, please contact: `Motive Tel: 020 3086 9430` Mick Pilsworth Throgmorton Street Capital `Jeremy Read Tel: 020 7070 0996` Dowgate Capital Advisers `Jo Turner Tel: 020 7492 4774` Note to Editors: Motive Television (www.motivetelevision.co.uk) is a leading media investment company, specialising in digital television technology providers and television rights owners.

Len took CME from a start-up to a billion-dollar NASDAQ-listed broadcasting company with operations in eight countries covering 110 million viewers.
