ITV's back catalogue is a very valuable commodity, too many people cannot see that the sum of the parts of ITV are way more than it's current MKt Cap. Problem is, ITV would be crazy to sell any of the parts that make it perhaps one of the FTSE 250's most undervalued companies. When someone says that these old shows are dated, they are talking rubbish. I recently watched the first series of 'The Sweeney' and 'Minder', both of these Thames TV productions are terrific. The list of great shows from the past is huge and so many younger people are tuning in to older drama's. When Michael Jackson bought the Beatles back catalogue, they told him he overpaid. Later sold it for billions....as I say, ITV is far more valuable than this bombed out share price suggests.

Congratulations Dame Carolyn, you and your hapless board have succeeded in bringing ITV to it's knees. Close tonight the Mkt Cap of the whole of ITV is a lowly £2.4 billion....in y reckoning that is £600k less than the £3 billion that you indicated the studios were worth in February.

Carlyn, have you sold your ITV holding along with Roland Rat or whatsisname Rufus Radcliffe the only man who has made any money dealing in this dog with fleas!!!! What a shower of failed fatcat crooks!!!!

This is a dog with fleas, McCall is a rubbish CEO, they are churning out woke rubbish content and wonder why the shar price is scraping the bottom.

Fire the board, not one on the ITV board worth £50k a year and McCall should throw in the towel.

Russian is spending christmas with me. Meeting my family. All my many children by different mothers.

Wimpleton Tom, have you doubts about your manhood? comments like you posted above show you to be a man trying to prove something! So you have many children from different women, yippee we all wanted to know about your dalliance with an array of unfussy females. If true, all I can say, is their best day was the one they booted you out the door. What a bore you are!!

Pogo....good post but why do you think Rufus Radcliffe sold his ITV stake in August. It was a great move for taking a short as he was on a 20% profit when ITV were down at 61p last month. However, maybe he needed the money, or he knows something, but what a terrible move to make when the ITV share price is in the doldrums. My broker among others thinks there could be sinister reasons.

This is cut from ADVFN ITV thread and pasted here, so thanks to Corby.

Are we all suckers to stay invested in this pile of crap?

ITV board member Rufus Radcliffe sold his ITV stake at 75p....he knows something about something bad at ITV.

Trade Alert: MD of Streaming Of ITV Rufus Radcliffe Has Sold Stock. Some ITV plc (LON:ITV) shareholders may be a little concerned to see that the MD of Streaming, Rufus Radcliffe, recently sold a substantial UK£469k worth of stock at a price of UK£0.75 per share.14 Aug 2023

Anyone here is free to write an e-mail to Investor Relations at ITV, or to any board member at ITV.com. Active investors should make their gripes known to the Dimlo's running the company, not whining to ach other on a free BB.

Start here .. carolyn.mccall@itv.com

Interactive Investor my broker took £70 from my account yesterday and marked the withdrawal Corporate Actions...I thought Thursday was payment date and I have 4000 to pay for. Anyone know why they have taken £70 without informing me?

The market makers are having a great time with SYNT, those not taking their rights might get 5p a share if they are lucky. I bought here at 55p thinking it a recovery play, then they spring this crap......my fault I didn't do my research and I ain't taking the rights thank you!!

Dame McCall and leveling up, that's so funny as she has been so successful at burying ITV in a hole it's firmly stuck in. With funds owning most of the shares and pirate Malone with 10%, this hole we are stuck in is set until something happens to pull us out. If I could be granted one wish, it would be McCall's P45 and cards handed to her with a nice woke pink ribbon.

If you read this Carolyn, please resign and go do some leveling up somewhere away from ITV, you would make so many long suffering ITV shareholders so blissfully happy!!!!!

Social Media ads do not hit the spot, TV ads hit the spot...not my opinion but that of experts. ITV's fall in advertising is due to the slump we are all in, advertiser's budgets are being cut all round, however according to the following C&P from an ITV pundit, things are not that bad. Read as follows posted by Hades on ITV 2022 thread!

UK 2023 TV Advertising revenue estimates now c.-7 to -8% yr on yr with ITV out performing at c.-6 to -7.

As we know after S4Capital results the pure digital market is similar but I believe TV will recover with the economy but pure digital will likely never retake former highs - It’s grow cycle ahead of market is over as it matures.

Solley..I can't find anything recent on ITV by Elaine Mendonca. I know she wrote something a while ago, so can we have th link please. Thanks in advance.

I know some companies have dropped substantially, so my post below refers to like for like companies. Just hope McCall goes soon!! Like a rotten egg, she is well past her sell by date.

If a board member of any of the FTSE 100 sold out their stake, this LSE thread and the others on ADVFN would have taken more notice. ITV is no longer a FTSE 100 company thanks to McCall's stewardship. If the board replaced this all time loser today with a more dynamic CEO such as Radcliffe. It seems they are content to watch and wait for another huge gaff to happen, which is on the cards. ITV is screaming out for leadership, it is in urgent need for a CEO who is seen as dynamic, innovative, futuristic and devoid of the woke culture that McCall has in Spades!

Institutions have so far not demanded some ITV scalps, but Radcliffe's share sale tells us he has no faith in how the company is being run. If the guy who runs the most successful part of ITV's broadcasting is selling, then what hope is there for the ordinary shareholders some of who bought ITV shares at two or three times this morning's sp. And a reminder to the dwindling McCall lovers who say other shares are suffering the same fate, I study the FTSE and none are so please post what companies have shed over 50% of their sp in less than 18 months.

Just a couple of weeks ago ITV board member Rufus Radcliffe sold his ITV holdings which amounted to over 600k shares. Radcliffe is the guy who got ITV hub up and running putting on millions of viewers and is the man who is the force that brought ITVx to fruition. Why would he sell, was he expecting to take over from McCall who as been asleep at the wheel for six years. Read the link below, it's not very encouraging!

Solley. what other Media company has lost over 50% since March 2022. ITV have the honour, what I hold on blind faith is minimal. McCall has killed ITV, if she had any respect for shareholders she would resign!

For some reason there are ITV investors who seem to love Dame Carolyn McCall, well lets count her non achievements since she arrived at ITV. Waited years to streamline the awful ITV hub into a good streaming opertation that could at least compete with BBC's I Player, sure now ITVx is doing ok, but it's 9 months old and she has been at ITV nearly six years and has failed to move the share price. That in itself should have sen her gone.

The huge drop in ITV's share price was tantamount to McCall failing to notice what was happening around her. Too involved in the woke world, another huge gaff was when she let Piers Morgan go because Princess Porky Pies complained about him!! Advertisers look at numbers and over 500k viewers left with Morgan, whether you like him or not, he was a viewer magnet. The list goes on, but let us not forget about the Schofield debacle, McCall knew about Schofield years ago because everyone at ITV knew Schofield led a double life. Once again McCall failed to act.....she is a total failure and you McCall lovers should look at ITV's penny share. 50% down since March 2022 and immovable from 70p. Sadly your support for McCall is misplaced, she needs to go NOW!!!

WimTom...I agree that McCall should resign or be fired, she has been like a jinx from day one. All those who give praise on a CEO who has seen the share price halve are delusional, fund managers are not happy!!!

The interims were good considering the economic climate against advertising. ITVx is looking good and the studios are doing very well, I think these will close on the week at 75p. I still think McCall should go, maybe the guy behind ITV's digital success Rufus Radcliffe should be made CEO, according to insiders he is the dynamo in there.

I am no lover of Dame McCall, she does not instill confidence. She should go even if they turn in an upbeat report. I lost faith a long time back, after the Piers Morgan debacle, love Morgan or loathe him he was a viewer magnet putting a milion on GMB. To let Morgan go because the awful Meghan Markle complained and that stupid lightweight weatherman pipped in with his mealy mouthed woke opinion...if McCall had been a good CEO she would never have let that occur. GMB lost 50% of viewers and then recently we had another scandal with Schofield and his paedo brother, when is the next gaff coming, she has to go.

Lets face it, ITV are ultra box tickers and Dame Woke is the worst CEO they have ever had. £3.5m a year for this lightweight woke obsessed has been is obscene. We know by other media outlets that whatever figures they come up with on 27th won't be enough to revive ITV, it needs new younger fresher un-woke management, they need it asap, before we have another year of 'jam tomorrow. The sp was 112p when ITVx was announced, it's struggling to get to 70p after losing over 40% since March 2022...that's a shocking record for any CEO.
