History

Yoomedia was a British interactive television company operating mainly within the gambling and gaming sectors, producing its own channel Avago as well as working with clients including ITV, the NHS, and the BBC. These services ranged from channel playout and scheduling to interactive media creation and return path provision.

Although they operated a range of services, including a dating service Dateline and a car park payment system YooPark[2], their main presence in the media world was their gaming channel Avago, which was eventually sold to Gala for a reported £5 million and became the Gala TV channel that mirada now operate.

Fresh IT was a Spanish technology company that created and maintained solutions for the interactive television industry. Unlike YooMedia, they did not create or produce any content, but instead produced interaction and advertising services for the media[3].
