The administration process of Steadfast Television has required a detailed valuation, targeted marketing, and efficient realisation of its assets. At Wyles Hardy & Co, we have applied our expertise to ensure a transparent process that maximises value for all stakeholders. – Matt Hardy, Wyles Hardy & Co.
Overview
Wyles Hardy & Co. was instructed by the Administrators to provide valuation and realisation services for Steadfast Television Ltd., an independent TV production and distribution company. Key assets included approximately 160 hours of factual TV content, primarily in the “Blue Light” genre, as well as edit suites and office infrastructure. The project required prompt execution to meet administrative deadlines.
Method
Our team conducted a thorough valuation of Steadfast’s content library, editing suites, and related office assets, assessing market value based on genre popularity and distribution potential. To maximise exposure, we launched a direct marketing campaign targeting media buyers, distributors, and broadcasters interested in factual content. Detailed information was prepared and distributed to prequalified buyers, ensuring transparency and efficiency in the bid process. Wyles Hardy then oversaw a streamlined three-week bidding window, enabling rapid buyer engagement and negotiations. The strategy included facilitating bidder access to content previews and technical specifications, ensuring a smooth transaction process. Ultimately, the assets were presented to a well-positioned buyer with a vested interest in expanding factual programming.
Results
- A successful sale was achieved for the 160-hour content library, targeting a buyer with an established distribution network.
- Editing suites and office infrastructure were sold separately, maximising asset recovery.
- The transaction was completed within a timely manner, meeting all administrative requirements.
