ITV Share Price (ITV)

No ITV deal yet then. Mugs - I think Trump will announce it on Independence Day with a showing of the 51st State.

Imbeciles will be imbeciles

I, for one, would welcome an RNS on the current situation, wouldn’t we all?

I’m not exactly expecting the share price to go stratospheric, just a decent nudge up. Feels like any takeover likelihood is already partly baked in. What I’d really hope for is a very decent special divi to eventually come through. And I’m expecting stellar results next March, while collecting a decent dividend on the way. Maybe even a whole new Studio only takeover strategy could come out of France!

Most of those calling themselves "investors" here are behaving like children in a sandbox. Assuming that a company must share commercial information regarding its future, the negotiation of any contracts, or in this case, a potential agreement to divide and sell part of its assets, represents precisely this level of thinking. Most of this information is classified, subject to external oversight, or simply constitutes a trade secret. Owning a few shares in a company does not entitle you to demand the public release of any confidential information, especially before the end of the commercial negotiations. I recommend using your brain - if that's not possible, simply familiarizing yourself with the applicable laws. Patience is the base of every investment, and discretion is the foundation of every commercial negotiation. We're all tired of this situation, but some have been investing their money in ITV for many years. They should have learned patience as it long ago, and looking back on the past few years, we all should have trusted the management. This management and Dame saved ITV from bankruptcy, rebuilt trust in the company, and laid the foundation for the current discussion on the sale of its assets.

I'm guessing the reason people are pleading for an RNS is that they think it will result in the share price spiking (as predicted by ContraryMary). You've placed a bet which may or may not pan out but like the rest of us you are just a nobody and a hostage to fortune. Talk of contacting Directors to "give them an earful" sounds both pompous and delusional to me.

Hi All,

I think there is an overall consensus of frustration at the lack of information published by either side regarding this deal. The last ACTUAL RNS relating to this deal was posted on November 7th 2025. So I thought I'd make clear to everyone some specific nuances around this.

Firstly – ITV/Sky are under no obligation to issue an RNS based purely on the passage of time. However three aspects that would from a regulatory perspective require them to actually publish one are:

1. It possesses inside information: for example, if preliminary discussions have progressed to agreed terms, or if there is a definite proposal that could materially affect the share price - that is quite clearly the case – it’s already been stated that “terms have been agreed” so an RNS SHOULD have already been issued

2. The nature of the information changes – if the status of the discussions moves from "preliminary" to something more concrete, or if a deal is agreed or abandoned – again, this seems to be the case.

3. A leak occurs – if confidential inside information leaks, ITV must disclose it publicly as soon as possible – information has already been leaked (such as the 2bn committed to ITV Studios).

Based on the regulatory requirement above – ITV 100% should have already issued their RNS, the fact they haven’t is likely already considered a breach issue and it would not surprise me if they have already had to contact the FCA for a Notification of Delayed Disclosure of Inside Information

All this is to say – the clock is clearly ticking now, ITV are clearly playing in extra time and don’t give a solitary F&^K about retail/regular investors.
