A mess of debts
Although they are making shows for every channel.


King Desmond is waiting to get his deals , low priced,
at the right time.




Sign Of The Times.

I don't mean to offend you but why do you love 'king desmond' so much. What has he done to make him any better than any other business man. I'm asking this out of sheer interest not to be rude or anything.

Like the contestants on its hit gameshow, Endemol's owners are facing Total Wipeout.

It may be the world's largest independent TV producer, but its value has now been written down to zero on the books of Telecinco. This implies a market value of less than its €2bn debts.

Revenues last year, at just over €1.2bn, are no higher than they were in 2007. Endemol's earnings, which peaked at €230m in 2007, have been steadily declining. The debt news service CapitalStructure reports that Endemol has warned lenders it expects earnings to fall to €140m in 2011.

Despite the problems, Endemol's UK management still completed a major earnout (golden handcuffs deal) last year, and its bosses are now being offered big packages to stay. UK chief executive Tim Hincks has signed a five-year deal which runs until 2014, worth £714,000 in annual salary and £2m a year in bonuses. Chief executive Ynon Kreiz, who made his fortune building and selling Fox Kids Europe, is unlikely to walk away. He has invested not just his reputation in exchange for remuneration even more generous than Hincks's.

Pay bosses more for making massive losses - where have we heard that before ?

In his Towers
he has a Pro Flats Drum Kit.


His recent gig
with the Endemol Boss, and ITV Boss in his band
raised money for the childrens hospital funds.


So even though he is busy making TV , Paper and Magazine Deals
he gave his Time for that event.


He is a Top Guy.

he may be a alright guy but so many celebrities do more charity work. what actually qualifies him better than any other. he has a drum kit wow. you just seem to be parading a cause on the forum for Desmond support when its not needed nor deserved. and he isn't making tv he is managing the making of tv. he bought a channel not a tv production company he bought a platform for other shows to be broadcast on and i think others should receive more praise for their work making entertainment rather than an old man who seems to just defend himself a lot when no one actually has criticised him.

But he picks the Deals
like SkyNews make his Ch5News.


He changing Ch5
and his funding saved that station.


So King Desmond
is top of the Hill
if you have a top idea
he will look at it.


And Big Brother on Ch5
is on its way .

where in this thread does it say the thread to praise king Desmond.

as i said earlier he has done nothing better than any other business man. he is changing channel 5, 2 questions does anyone care about channel 5, if all its good shows went on to other channels (which is like 2) and it disappeared i don't think anyone would make that much of a fuss ? and who said he is changing it for the better he is in the middle of changing it, its still pretty bad to be honest. big brother on channel 5 is the only decision i will respect him for if it happens, and i wont if he over americanises it and turns it into rubbish (which hopefully wont happen and he will just give endemol full control).

he has done nothing more than any other person that deserves respect over him. and to be honest he speaks about himself like a twat.

and i know you are entitled to your opinion like everyone its just i asked a question and you don't answer it with valid points. you choose to answer it in a stupid way that makes you look like Desmond has put you under a spell or something.

[arista]

"under a spell or something. "


No Spell.


"with valid points. "


Thats not a Problem.

Meanwhile Endemol needs
better managers

How would you know they need better managers you don't work there. You just act as if your way is the only way and it's not the case from what I've seen most of the time you are more or less wrong. At least when I feel something may not be right i question you rather than stating what I think and not allowing others opinions to penetrate my train of thought.

[arista]

"are more or less wrong."


At least I can stay On Topic

Endemol with better managers can save the company.



"I think and not allowing "

You can think all you want
you are on your own.

Thanks arista, I'm not sure if I'd be good enough though.
Off topic; but would you say you lean more to the left or right? And are you Yes to AV?
