Porsche....your post is just about as negative as it can get. We all know the FTSE isn't the NASDAQ or the Dow, so why do you need to whine about ITV and the UK Market. My response to the drivel you post is simple, I laugh at you because you are obviously a troll. Now do us all a favour and **** off!!

So Amazon are teaming up with MGM. Just read the link, all I can say is how dull can it get, MGM's catalogue of old movies have already been run on just about every broadcaster already. Hopefully ITVx new streaming service have more than enough to compete and if you don't mind adverts, it is free. How good is that for all those who in the very near future will be counting the pennies.

Anyone seen a little plus to ITVX....15,000 hours of TV that can be legally watched without a TV licence. May not seem a big thing but it is major for youngsters who watch TV on tablets and phones. The TV licence is £159 per year and youngsters are not paying it......maybe ITVX has caught the eye of the younger generation and it isn't all bad for ITVX, in fact it may be one of the best moves made by this board. How many are coming round to seeing many good things here.

Interesting posts guys, but I think we would all agree that ITV are absolutely the exact same company they were on Wednesday at close. So they have launched a plan to take on the streamers, well as far as I can fathom their ambitions, better now while they can. At the moment and among the 15-30 year olds they are seen as uncool. It is time for change and they are doing it.

I think that when this mad sell off is reflected upon and the City see that ITV are doing nothing more than being innovative, we can't slam the BoD for producing good results and having aspirations to make ITV a competitor in a fast changing market.

So Bournemouth Tom the harbinger of doom was like the clock that's right twice a day.

You talk of a bid of 110p to take out ITV...there is no chance that will happen. Over the last couple of days the volume traded has been maybe 100 million shares, buys two to one onnsells. Well, if you had bought every one of those buys and your name was Liberty, you still would be no where near a position to bid.

If the ITV board had not come up with a what the luddites see as a turkey, these would have stood well above a pound today, sadly changes to a staid old ITV is taboo even though their ITV hub is a winner . Just because the share has traded today at as low as 72p, really means nothing if a bidder appeared, it doesn't actually work that way. Institutions and funds do not dump millions of shares in a panic. All that as happened is the float out there has taken a drop, a paper loss is only a loss to a forced seller. Go by the words of the most successful investor in the world..“fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” said Warren Buffett, he has taken advantage of buying stocks when markets retreat and is a true billionaire to prove it.

Bigmouth Tom, like all stock pickin losers you cling on to slender hope that you will be accepted as a market wizard in the Sunday pub league. I am Premier Division and you will be proven wrong on Thursday 3/3/22.

I arranged for a block of concrete to delivered to your bedsit, get your wheelbarrow and trot on down to the pier. Good luck with the tide!

Is this prick Bournemouth Tom for real, I have been reading the drivel he posts and have come to the conclusion he needs to be certified. In all my experience of trolls, sad old Tom fits the bill. Been there, done that, me me me aren't I clever. Sorry Tom, you are just another dense bore craving attention.

Now try and raise your game, start by throwing your laptop off of Bournemouth Pier, followed by jumping in after it preferably with a 2 cwt concrete block around your neck.

The jungle drums are saying ITV results will be received well with a resumption of the dividend. Hope they are right! Also talk of an imminent takeover is still rife in media circles, that is what I am hearing so all those who scorn the info, just remember that it just reporting so don't give me any grief or stupid cries of 'nonsense'...Good Luck to all ITV holders!

Nige...It isn't a dead cert that Putin will invade, he may be playing up the anti as a way to make the West take notice. If it doesn't happen, markets will rebound with strength. If there is a war, the Ukrainians will fight back with all the force they are capable of, they won't just roll over. Putin will be weighing it all up, he won't want a hot war followed by another Cold war and heavy sanctions that could decimate the Russian economy.

If a war happens, markets will fall further but will come back within weeks if history repeats, ITV may suffer a 20% drop initially so it would be a good buying opportunity. Long suffering ITV holders will be thinking, every time it looks like ITV are going to break 125p, another setback not of their doing occurs. As Warren Buffett says buy when others are fearfull!!!

B..mouth Tom, pity that posh school didn't teach you better grammar. As a schoolboy you were very lucky to have an account and to be able to trade commodities. Most commodity brokers are belt and braces so you must have had a deck of dosh lodged with them because as you well know, if the client reneges, who takes the loss. Or could you sue a schoolboy back in your day of Tom Brown and Flashman?

Are you sure your margin calls weren't Mr Squelch rapping your knuckles with a margin rule!

Bournemouth Tom, why do you see ITV as a value trap? Just give me the reason without spinning a lot of meaningless rubbish. You really do post utter nonsense...the only trap I see is your trap opening and drivel flowing out.

Try using the old idiom, when you have nothing to say,,,say nothing!

Robs60 - I’m going to be blunt, I’m a straight talker - you won’t get an apology from me I’m afraid because I think that you’re full of BS.

An apology from you would mean nothing, you are not a straight talker, you are a loumouth full of yourself! I posted on here things I had heard and read, you could make up your own mind as to it being useful to you or not. I really don't need you to resort to telling me that I am bull****ting.

I have read many of your posts, some interesting and some notso. But whether I agree with you or not, I certainly would not have resorted to calling you a bull****ter. GFY.

Not one to normally criticise (apart from Tomtit the coffee maker) but you are talking deliberate nonsense. I noted your previous comment on the 19th January of

Anger & Janus...Apologies for mentioning what I had read and heard and I would never post deliberate nonsense. I am certainly not stupid enough to think that the mention of a rumour on a base public bulletin board could affect the price of a FTSE 100 share. But what is amazing is that you suggest that I may be stupid enough to even think my post could be ramping of the ITV sp and the other guy from Bournemouth who posts something you don't like is deramping.

Time you two grew up, if you don't agree with something, there are ways to critique without being condescending.

There are some whispers doing the rounds that UK media company ITV is being stalked by a US player. The mystery is that all the names coming up are the usual suspects of Netflix, Prime, Disney etc. The professionals in TV production say the UK has the best programme makers in the world, not my opinion, just fact.

Who would benefit greatly by acquiring ITV, it has studios, big catalogue, big viewing figures in the UK . But the big carrot after the studio sq footage would be the content in Britbox, it will be interesting to see those numbers on March 3rd.

Those M&S food stores in the BP filling stations are gold mines, every one I have been in does a roaring trade and the one local to me always has a queue to pay.

The share price has dived and never recovered because this share is a dog.

B/mouth Tom...and 'every dog has its day' you just need to buy a ticket for that day, it'll come but when?

I think you are correct Nige, it is a value buy at these levels. The share price has the marks of manipulation, but the market is experiencing a retreat so all is down. If there is any truth in the surrounding talk, it will react sooner rather than later.

Have Goldman Sachs or Morgan got their greedy hands round ITV and squeezing out the last drops of blood out there.

FWIW....ITV are a cheap buy today on low volume. I am informed that there are rumours of a takeover, I don't know if the rumour has any legs, but I have been informed that it is in the sights of a US behemoth. What I don't get is the share price has performed badly considering the amount of speculation. A few years back, rumours about takeovers would put 10% on the sp, how times have changed. Buys outweigh sells today by a third and not a glimmer on the sp, could MM's be manipulating it. Sure the US is dropping like a stone, but it is a bubble anyway. Time the Fed stopped printing money to keep the false market up. Just bought some more ITV, something is going on here IMO.

$500 to $400 is a drop of 25%. However it was $620 in December so it has dropped 35% in just on a month. It's way overvalued and imo will be $350 soon.

Netflix didn't drop 25% and the news is old.

Yes Netflix was way overvalued, word on the street was they have done zero building a company with a core. As it stands Netflix is just a streamer, it has millions of fickle subscribers that it has to rely on. A whopping drop in Mkt Cap shows just how much the company needs new subscribers every Qtr as a vital lifeline...Ponzi Schemes are based on that premise, I am not saying Netflix is a Ponzi scheme, but there are no solid fundamentals behind that half a trillion dollar Mkt Cap.

Just glad ITV are 100% transparent and imo 100% undervalued.
