Neighbours: Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ statement
|
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ issued a statement about Neighbours at 1.40pm on Friday 18 May 2007.
Μύ
"'We have this afternoon formally withdrawn from the bidding for Neighbours.
Μύ
"The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has had a long and fruitful relationship with Neighbours, which has transmitted on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One for 21 years, and this has come to an end because of an unrealistic price demand.
Μύ
"We do not believe that we could have justified to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ viewers a price tag of what would have amounted to some Β£300 million across the term of the contract.
Μύ
"Paying that sum would also have compromised our ability to invest in new original programmes.
Μύ
"We made a fair offer and are sad that we have not been able to reach terms with Fremantle."
