Alboum, there are little bits of truth in what most people write. The problem is sorting out the wheat from the chaff. I think you are closer to the mark then some (probably most) people....but you & I probably have a similar view....and I am always wrong!! (apparently).
- There haven't been 20m subscribers gained. It is plainly absurd to say that. There are probably new subsrcibers, there could be may new subscribers giving ITVX a look see, some may say, some wont.
- Streaming over the interweb is the future. It is something ITV had to do. It is likely to be costing more than it generates at least for a while.....when the printing press came along it was time to stop making vellum!!
- The Kerching, Kerching types say very attractive things....not sure the market agrees.
- World cup IMO should increase profits this quarter but it is a long walk to the next oasis in 4 years time.....hence my suggestion to make it b-annually. I see they are increasing the number of teams from 32 to 48 next time. More games, more revenue!...kerching, kerching!!
- Content is king (Strike is right about that)
- If I was Dame Carolyn I would want to know what is stopping ITVX from broadcasting in 4K. To attract customers you have to offer something extra IMO.
