On the other hand, the trade knew how to trade.
Nordic Schibsted Media buys TV channel MTV from Telia. In addition to MTV, the deal also includes the Swedish TV channel TV4.
MTV and TV4 are part of TV/Media, which employs around 1 200 people in Sweden and Finland.
– On the other hand, about a year ago some media speculated about such a deal and the sale of MTV. I don’t know much more about the details of the deal, so I can’t comment on it. On behalf of MTV, I hope that we will keep moving towards better things.
-I have a positive attitude because it is a media company and not an investment company. This is exciting because you don’t know what’s going on in the future.
– We hope this will strengthen MTV’s ability to provide jobs and Finnish journalism in the journalistic field. MTV’s collective bargaining negotiations are still ongoing, and we also hope that they will progress favorably.
– Maikkari has a strong plan of how we bring our business to a profitable and sustainable basis. It involves both revenue growth and a strong expenses. This trade has no direct staff effects, says Leppänen.
