I have to agree with the crowd, the City, the Media and the anti woke brigade.....ITV under the stewardship of Dame Woke McCall has been a disaster. She has demolished shareholders by lopping 50% off of the Mkt Cap, for four years out of seven she has literally made us all poorer while unashamedly collecting millions of pounds in salary and perks.

She is a loser, a joke, a charlatan parasite who should be fired out the door asap!!!!

Lot of action behind the scenes, ITV target at double current sp!

You are miserly £180 up whoopee! so you weren't holding any stock in ITV prior to Friday and on Monday this could open and close down.

Sorry mate but you sound like a total rookie!

You have already lost it on this one as it's ex-div. Now look at the drop from ex-dix day, which is 19%, ITV has to rise about 24% to get to where it was just a few weeks ago.

That's just simple arithmetic, it's a bummer!!!

The share price is down 15% on the week, it's down almost 30% from recent highs and the usual amateurs are calling it out as a Dividend BUY. There are some chumps posting on here, BigEgo being a prime example.

It has now become obvious to the big players that ITV is a lost cause, it's either a bid or they sell the Studios and return all of the money to long suffering shareholders.

I recently posted here that McCall is all but useless. After six and a half years she has destroyed ITV with her non existent management and eagerness to make TV shows that include every minority, colour, creed, orientation to the point where ordinary folk are baffled at her stupidity. Advertisers are aware ITV live in another world and have walked away from McCall's skewered little world.

McCall is in the driving seat of a vehicle heading for the cliff edge, she should resign or be fired asap, six and half years of failure with a share price falling by the day and we have idiots still making weak excuses. McCall should go now, not next week or next month but today. Is there a major shareholder out there to demand she goes.

If common sense and Democracy have anything to do with it, then Trump will lose because some of those 70 million who supported him last time may have awoken to the dangers of Trump. But I would never say it couldn't happen, he has these idiots sending him millions of dollars and that alone should tell you that millions of Americans are as dumb as rocks!!!

So the idiots reign on here supporting Trump, you clowns need to educate yourselves as it seems you support a man who wants to dismantle NATO, give Putin Ukraine and bring 21st Century Fascism to the West. Trump is a buffoon but appeals to the uneducated uninformed idiots called MAGA.

Alboomphoto and O'Malley...I would wager your combined IQ's are about byour collar sizes. I can't believe we have such morons on here!!!!!!

Pogo...you are the epitome of all the names you call others on this BB. Just because someone disagrees with you, does not mean they are idiots or trolls. I get it! that you think ITV are the be all and end all, problem is over the past six long years ITV are possibly the worst performing company in the UK media sector.

Those who agree with me and not you on ITV are not idiots or trolls, they are the majority of posters both here and on ADVFN.

Pogo...ITV are struggling to stay above 75p, nobody is buying especially any big players, small investors like us are looked upon as fools to have money in this value trap. If you bought your shares at a low of 55p then great, you are showing a healthy profit if you sell today, problem is so many including funds have these owing a lot more. It would take only one fund manager to dump to see these back in the 50p's.

If I had a lot of these at 55p I would be out quicker than Dame Woke can read today's Guardian headlines. As things are in the world of TV and advertising, this will more than likely scrape the bottom well beyond their buyback, unfortunately it ain't going anywhere anytime soon. November 7th is last chance saloon for 2024, if something positive isn't among the news, you will be able to fill your boots a lot less than 75p......watch my words, I will be proved correct.

It is now 6 years of pain holding shares in this company. It is hard to find another FTSE 100 then 250 company with a household name that has performed as badly as ITV. I realize that there are some on this thread that keep piling in every time it goes down a few pence and have to tell us all they hold 400k shares to laughingly impress us all, same with accusing people of being Russian trolls as if ITV were important enough for even the stupidest troll to bother about.

Fact is chaps, ITV are no more than a value trap with any hope of a decent return to be through a bid. There have been at least half a dozen senior staff including two board members gone in the last six months, Radcliffe the guy who launched ITVx has sold his shares and gone followed by two of his team, it must have dawned on even the McCall lovers that such things don't bode well for a company that is being run so badly by a woman so out of her depth.

What is in the psyche of these disgraced TV stars, just as the Fayed scandal makes headlines, Schofield is offered a role on the failing 'Castaway' show on the fifth rate CH5. Old disgraced TV stars however big, never come back, just ask ex top stars Michael Barrymore, Jim Davidson, Russell Brand and a lot more now dead and gone. As for Schofield, he lived a lie for 40 years and got caught lying again to ITV and the audience. It's all been bad for ITV who have recovered and are doing fine without him!

Pogo, I don't understand why you refer to Russian trolls maybe you could enlighten me and a few others. Why a troll from Russia would have shares in ITV or post on this free BB seems a bit far fetched.

I can never quite understand the acceptance of bad performance. Dame McCall arrived at ITV in 2018 when the share price was approx 175p give or take a penny. First of all Dame McCall stated that ITV were not worried about the streamers and not competing with them, it took three years to figure that was a bad move that allowed ITV to lag behind modern technology. Any criticism of McCall on this thread is met with scorn and posts from whining idiots who haven't a clue about investing in Media companies. If anyone at ITV is to thank it's Rufus Radcliffe and his team who launched ITVx late and eventually after many management hurdles. McCall has nothing to be proud of, anonymous people at ITV put ITVx down as it's saviour and Radcliffe and his team as the ones to receive any kudos. Radcliffe should have been made CEO when he came from CH4, please look at what happened to CH4 after he went. Anyways he is off to SC4 to pastures new after saving ITV from the fire, I shudder to think what the share price would be today without Radcliffe and his team. The departure of Radcliffe has halted any progress here, but the greenhorns here continue to praise McCall for what?

Master Red, another very bad post filled with nonsense, please stop fantasizing about Uranus and spotting bumholes, your Mummy would be very angry.

How sad is this muppett Redcain no brain?

After scrolling through past posts, I've spotted the same pattern of CEO criticism with a troublesome three of nom de plumes: The Angry, The Agreeing Back-up & The Polite but subordinate. i.e TOM, O'MALLEY and ROB. People like this thrive on creating drama and distraction, often resorting to disruptive behavior or playing different roles to provoke reactions. Engaging with them only fuels their antics, dragging down the quality of discussions and frustrating genuine contributors. Their aim is often to derail conversations rather than add value

Armchair bores who like to play psychoanalysts to gain attention. The idiot Redcain thinks that I should not give any criticism to the Dame even though it's common knowledge that a third of her board have voted agin her in the past. Fund managers rate her about 5 out of 10 as a CEO and small investors are nursing losses that are hurting them badly.

My advice to you Redcain, is keep your own counsel and leave my name out of your childlike vapid posts. I do not agree with people to please idiots, my scorn for McCall is well deserved!

You really are a very stupid person to write such nonsense.

Rock8...At least ITV are at last on the up. maybe ITVx record streams plus studios and back catalogue will get it to a pound. S4's hopes are pinned on advertising, it's a one trick pony with an antiique at the top, both companies are dogs, but one is a tad safer bet!!!

I certainly wouldn’t rule out a rich friendly bid at 150-200p and I am pretty sure he would take it as his company would be impossible to rule if he didn’t.

Rock8, a bid of 80p for this dog would be a win, Sorrel is a the past, this may be going to 20p or zero the way he runs it!

More pain as it drags on!

ITV have been stuck in the rut for months even years, their tech whizz Radcliffe is leaving in November for STV. The man who oversaw the relaunch of ITV's streaming service will lead Scotland's Stv as CEO. Rufus Radcliffe has been appointed to succeed Simon Pitts, who was named Chief Executive at British media firm Global earlier this year. Pitts exits on October 31 and Radcliffe will become Stv Group boss a day later.

Oh I forgot to say what will put 20% on the ITV share price, the answer is the resignation of Dame Woke McCall, she has been an abysmal CEO for ITV, for the McCall defenders I would ask they look deeply into their investment and figure out how the company now rates as a penny share. When McCall arrived the share price was more than double it is today, if you haven't got your answer. you shouldn't be investing in the stock market. So many holding ITV at double today's price and another month passes by without a spark of movement. ITV is a Zombie stock with a CEO who should have gone three years ago!!!!
