Business in Legoland



Network Television Legoland

Network Television Legoland were originally set-up by Emperor David in the early 1990s and have been the leading television company in Legoland for close to 20 years. NTL is currently run on a day-to-day basis by CEO Subscriptionus Televisionus, a minifig highly regarded as an expert in the in ripping minifigs off through Pay TV. The company is referred to more frequently by its acronym NTL and it is considered one of the "Top 5" Legoland firms in terms of revenue and overall size. More...

NTL has had a long association with the nation's most famous football clubs, Legoland FC, through sponsorship deals throughout the 1990s and 2000s yet on 25th May 2009 the company announced that it had decided to venture into the football arena itself, taking over Real Legoland in a £40m buy-out.

The company suffered a set-back in June 2009 when Emperor David interjected to stop the launch of what was to be a new reality TV series called Big Minifig. The programme would see 12 messed up contestants forced to live in a small house in Legoland City with the eyes of the nation on them 24/7. The least popular contestant would be voted out of the house each week by viewers until the last remaining minfig was declared the winner. Despite the fact that many companies expressed a keen interest in paying big money to advertise during the series, the Emperor called the programme "unsuitable", "for retards" and "banned".
