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, their main presence in the media world was their gaming channel Avago, which was eventually sold to Gala for a reported £5 million.
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, including Digital+, Euskaltel and Jazztel in Spain, BSkyB, ITV and Music Choice in the UK and Disney Television International, Universal Studios Network and Warner Bros.
mirada PLC was formed by the merger of Fresh IT with Yoomedia in 2007.
