"Who you are calling a balding fat old git?"

==============================================

Jrlse, I'm looking in the TRMR mirror and seeing myself of course.....I suspect a few other balding aged men-types are doing the same, although they may be slim as whippets I suppose.

Just strikes me as funny that it is becoming a 'NEX' mirror (whatever a 'nex' is?!)

So we are looking into the mirror with TRMR and seeing?....a balding fat old git!

Some people might get a different experience!!

I'm getting a mixed picture on the merits of this deal from posters. Is this a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy a valuable asset for a realistic price or an expensive pig in a poke?

Hopefully he has a good reputation and isn't some whizz kid who wants radical reform of the business....steady as she goes. Sensible growth though organic growth and affordable acquisitions. Steer clear of leveraged assets like LDI's with associated margin calls.

I think everyone is frustrated with the performance of the SP....even 'possibly' Dame Carolyn. Lots of people who want drastic action but don't offer much worthwhile on what should be done differently (apart from Dame Carolyn should get a better tailor....and she should become a man).

Have to assume that they have a plan and it needs to be given time to deliver. ITVX launched - and most would agree it was needed - but we don't know how successful it has been or will be. I don't know anything about this new possible acquisition...I assume there is a strategic reason. Question is how much are they gonna pay?...if the 'big boys' want it then ITV could be stretched to afford it.

He seems to be a popular guy....hopefully he doesn't take things personally!

Aubergine is back on the menu at Chez ITV. I 'almost' feel sorry for the guy who said aubergine was toxic.....obviously not a foodie like Dame Carolyn. Does ITV have an office in Siberia?!....if not then I expect they'll create one especially for him.

" What I would like to know is why the share price dipped to 52p in September 2022......"

===========================================

Wasn't that just Trussonomics?!

I think some people think TRMR are a football club or a boyband where the branding & merchandising is so important. As Tricky said it is more important that they are 'trustworthy, successful and reliable'.....mind you I have just ordered by 'Nixen' ambrigramic T-shirt.

"EVERYTHING is about branding."

=========================================

Codswallop....it's about delivery.

"Strip ratio"

=======================================

Current mine is underground.

The more research the better.

Company is >70% owned by the Assaubayev family.

Maybe they will make it into a TV drama.....Carolyn could appear in a cameo role.

I prefer a company to be innovate in more than name only.....hopefully this ambigramic palindromic name change isn't just a gimic designed to distract attention.

"'Nexus' would have been more cogent. "

====================================================

I expect it was already taken...'Nixen' will have to do!

Another name change.....just what people were asking for.

Nexxen....shouldn't that be Nixon?!

If Trump did what Richard Nixon did....then nothing would happen. These are different times. The Republican party is a mess.....to some extent this is reflected in UK politics by the state of the Tory party. And we have our version of Trump - strange hair & all - who may or may not be back [insert obscure Latin quote here to show how clever I am]

"A good education means an interest in world politics.

Otherwise 'Ostrich, Head, Sand'."

===============================================================

Tricky, I think you are correct. Although I don't know the finer points of American life & politics I think I know enough to have an opinion. If I'm told then I shouldn't have an opinion then I wonder if I am living in a dictatorship....is this a 'banned subject'?!

I think I am one of those people who is looking at the 'Emperor' and wondering why other people havn't noticed he isn't wearing any clothes. Perhaps in court we will discover even more...although I suspect most people have made their minds up one way or the other.

At the end of the day it's for the American people to decide who they have as their leader. But the choice of leader for the 'free world' does have an impact on countries around the world, so we should have an opinion.

I dont' want someone who will hand Ukraine to the Russians, whilst at the same time weakening NATO...No Thank you. But I would like a UK-USA trade deal please....pretty please, please with bells on!

Trump runs his organisations - including the Whitehouse - like a crime boss....I think most sensible people would agree. He has allegedly broken laws, it will be tested in court....I think he quite likes the attention. It also allows him to grift money from his supporters.

I think he hoped being an ex-president would give him immunity from all his potentially illegal activities.....well, it looks like he may have been wrong.

DoJ director (Garland) purposefully handed the Trump investigations over to an 'impartial' special prosecutor. So in theory the court action against Trump is not influenced by DoJ or the Whitehouse.

He thought he was above the law. He may have been wrong, although I expect a future Republican President to pardon him. I guess the American people have to decide if they want someone like Trump as their President....even if he is in handcuffs when he is inaugurated. Can he pardon himself?!

" What about the more sensible option of campaigning for CEO to go...."

============================================================

3Card, what do you want a new CEO to be doing differently?

"If not why are you still holding?"

=========================================================

ArthurTurner, I have held RthythyhthmOne all the way down, I held TRMR all the way up (where I luckily sold some) and I continue to hold. I think I am allowed to be slightly wary of 'jam tomorrow' - hence why my 'optimism' has been replaced by 'pragmatism'. Is the industry past the over-enthusiasm seen during the pandemic where we streamed our lives away watching netflix...Yes. Can TRMR do well again the the future...possibly....although the 'jam tomorrow' statements of times gone past have returned and I'm less 'optimistic'.

Hopefully they will still allow be to contine to be a shareholder, even though I'm not sure I'm a true believer.
