New media snapping at the heels of traditional media

Article Abstract:

The global media sector will be driven towards increased merger and acquisitions activities during 2000, with the main factors resulting from the need to reduce development costs while digital distribution will forge new partnerships within the sector. The traditional distribution firms will seek new partnerships where digital distribution can be developed and expanded. Cable television will seek to take a stronger hold in Europe and the UK, reflecting its strengths in the telephony market.

AIMing for acquisitive growth

Article Abstract:

The UK's Alternative Investment Market (AIM) is mainly intended to be a development capital market aimed at companies which are planning to expand. Many of the companies raising funds on the AIM are in rapidly changing industries which need funds to pay for research or product development, rather than to make an acquisition. However, the AIM has also played a role in supporting a number of acquisitive companies. Some of these have moved to a full listing or are hoping to do so.
