(BARCELONA, SPAIN) -- Private Media Group Inc. today announced the finalisation of a number of strategic acquisitions totaling $3.0 million. These acquisitions complete Private's establishment of its broadcast businesses in the Us and Latin American markets and allow Private to receive a larger share of future European broadcast income while guaranteeing current income from the European markets.
"Private has always run a profitable broadcast business. Since 2000 this business has grown significantly because of a partnership with a leading European channel distributor. Our goal has always been to consolidate these activities once they reached a critical scale. Today, with our entry into the profitable US market and success in the European markets, we are delighted to announce that we have acquired a number of key contracts and businesses which will allow Private to enhance both the profitability and scale of our broadcast assets." said Berth Milton, President and CEO of Private Media Group.
"According to industry sources, the US broadcasting market for adult pay-per-view exceeded $500 million in 2002. Despite the size and growth of this market there are only two meaningful channel providers in the Us and Private is delighted to become the third provider. As Private's investment in content and branding is already being amortized through our numerous product lines, broadcasting becomes a highly accretive venture for us."
