RDF to miss targets as suspension hits home

Article Abstract:

RDF Media will not meet their 2007 financial targets when their first half pre-tax profits dropped 27 percent to 1.9 m pounds sterling. The lower profits are attributed to the group's investment in RDF USA, RDF Kids and RDF Digital. Fallout from the controversy from the documentary A Year with the Queen will also weigh down profits.
