DCD To Cut Headcount In Production Division On Poor Commission Take-Up

27th May 2016 15:25

LONDON (Alliance News) - DCD Media PLC on Friday said it will make a number of redundancies in its production division, as it has seen a poor uptake of commissions outside of its two key franchises due to challenging trading conditions.

It will now focus on those two franchises, 'Penn and Teller: Fool Us in Vegas' and 'Got What it Takes?'.

The company said its DCD Publishing division is being absorbed into its DCD Rights business, and will no longer operate as a separate business.

DCD Media added that its results for 2015 were in line with its expectations, and it will report these full-year results next Thursday.

Elsewhere, the company noted that it is unlikely that amounts it owes to its 61.4% parent, Timeweave Ltd, can be settled in the short term, and as a result it is looking for ways to formalise the debt.

Shares in DCD Media were untraded at 255.00 pence Friday.
