Successful completion of pilot with major North American media company
Forbidden Technologies plc (AIM: FBT) is pleased to announce that a pilot announced in July 2017 with a major North American broadcaster and sports rights holder has successfully completed.

The producers within the creative division of the Company will start using Blackbird Forte to view, edit and enrich the content of a major North American sports league.
Forbidden CEO, Ian McDonough says:
"We are excited to be taking this relationship to the next stage. I am delighted that the Blackbird pilot has been successful within the creative division. This is a small but crucial step to seeking wider adoption across the Company's media infrastructure."
