Article Abstract:

Mill Film has purchased Shepperton, UK-based Magic Camera Company, one of its competitors in the film effects industry, for an unspecified amount. Magic Camera, which is composed of two entities, the Magic Camera Company and The Magic Model Company, approved of the sale to Mill Film partly because of the prospect of becoming part of a larger facility.

MacKenzie to take Talk in August

Article Abstract:

A consortium led by Kevin MacKenzie is nearing the conclusion of its negotiations for the ownership of CLT's Talk Radio station beginning August 1998. CLT is expected to accept the 25 million pounds sterling bid by MacKenzie's group for its 62.3% in the station, though the amount is less than the asking price of 37 million pounds sterling. A source said MacKenzie's camp, which is comprised of Talk shareholder MVI and News International, will enter exclusivity discussions and due diligence by mid-July 1998.
