Sweet sounds

Anna Fršczek, investor relations coordinator for Broker FM, explains the reasons behind the jump: "It was really a much better first quarter of 2005. We recorded a net profit in the first quarter of the year for the first time in our history. The first and third quarters are the worst quarters of the year. So the first quarter was really good, and the second quarter was quite good, and the market is growing, so that's the reason for our good profits."

The ad market in the radio sector - Broker FM's main arena of operation - grew 13 percent in the first half.
