Simple facts not. Make believe.

The official London Stock Exchange website shows total market volume for ITV yesterday which includes off exchange trades was 130,557,078 which is around 3.5% of the shares in issue.

Also holding RNS are not timed to 7am unlike other scheduled announcements and so can appear through the day.

Next story.

Zero chance.

ITV cannot comment at the AGM or anywhere else.

The process is formal disclosure via RNS if and when parties are ready.

‘Early stage talks’ means no RNS’s.

Sorry to hear that - must be very frustrating.

I hope you are getting the best of care.

There are no words.

Comedy gold.

Google “telegraph redbird” news

Yes finally after 2 years the end is in sight!

Recently MPs complained about Redbird taking a look at ITV while the Telegraph sale was up in the air.

Take that issue away and Redbird has a free run at ITV.

Smart money smells a deal.

Nat - well the dividend complicates the open slightly doesn’t it?

3.3p has to come off - which is a chunky 5 percent.

So if for example it opens flat - it’s actually risen 5 percent thanks to the bounce.

Quite a feat all by itself!

Personally I’d love to see ITV up on the day regardless of the dividend deduction. Who knows

I think the biggest news isn’t China - it’s is the universal 10% for everyone else.

Trumps played markets like a fiddle.

Massive up day coming.

Norman - you’re right.

Maybe Trumps DJT media network can now afford ITV.

Wouldn’t that be something!!

Sorry all - kept getting CloudFlare outage trying to post and resent a few times - didn't expect each resend to post!!! :)

Radiogent - on the subject of paid ITVX subscribers there are 2 important things to note from 2024 results:

Firstly - ITV have made it clear that they are focusing on the ad-funded ITVX side for now:

"Since ITVX's launch, our priority has been the ad-funded service to deliver the best return and drive digital revenues."

Secondly - subscriber numbers are down due to tidying up distribution paths:

"Total UK subscribers as of 31 December 2024 was down 23% year-on-year, as we consolidated subscriptions from our standalone app, BritBox UK, into ITVX Premium. This was combined with the closing of the legacy ITV catch-up service on Amazon Prime Video Channels."

So ITV are not making it a priority to increase ITVX premium subscribers right now, but may focus more in future.

Yes, best start to a new tax allowance year in living memory!

“long term investors, IMO, should have no worries”

Exactly this.

Now is the time to invest for the long term.

Whether you choose ITV, Barclays, SMT, ISF, VWRL - whatever - you will be ok!

In 6 months time what are the chances we will be looking at the long term chart, and this dip, and chatting here about ‘why didn’t we buy ITV in the 60s?

Thing is it’s never obvious at the time. The doom and gloom takes over and we make bad decisions.

Not at all - I’ve been in the same position myself.

You’ll see a nice jump in your short P&L just before you notice the ‘Adjustment’ transaction, that’s all.

How long do you reckon you’ve got before price recovers the adjustment…
