We have started 2022 with growth in ITV Family SOCV, and good engagement in streaming. The demand for advertising has remained strong with Q1 expected to be up around 16%. April is expected to be up around 10%. Q2 will be impacted by tough advertising comparatives, which in 2021, saw a strong rebound from May onwards, along with the Euros in June.
Our balance sheet is in good shape and well within investment grade metrics. This combined with our strong cash flows enables us to invest behind our strategy to build a more valuable digital media and entertainment company, and deliver returns to shareholders. Going forward, the Board is committed to paying a full year ordinary dividend of at least 5.0p which it will grow over time.
So they know qtr1 was already up about 16% and April expected to be up another 10%, so nothing wrong with that.
