It is therefore time for new objectives, which demonstrate the significant growth potential in the Group and our expectation for healthy margin development and a continued substantial return on equity over the next five years. The media landscape is evolving rapidly. Viasat’s media house approach, and channel presence across a wide range of distribution platforms and markets, positions us well to benefit from these changes moving forward. We are investing further in the integration of our existing businesses, as well as in new areas, channels and technologies, in order to generate future growth.” *** For further information, please visit www.mtg.se, email info@mtg.se, or contact: Hans-Holger Albrecht, President & CEO tel: +46 (0) 8 562 000 50 Matthew Hooper, Corporate Communications tel: +44 (0) 20 7321 5010 Modern Times Group is a leading international entertainment broadcasting group with the second largest geographical broadcast footprint in Europe.
