Plus the fact that Elon Musks acquisition of Twitter has caused a mass exodus of advertisers who will spend elsewhere with ITV benefiting in line with others. Volkswagen, Cadbury, Pfizer and Carlsberg have all pulled out of the Twitter platform. Great news for other media.

After it's previous nadir, ITV has had a good bounce. Some are going to take profit as has happened all the way up from 55p. The big difference is that this is only the first leg up on a very healthy escalator. The update is on 9th November next week and it's pretty certain that it will be combined with an ITVX goes live comment and other news. Love or hate Matt Hankock he is certainly focussing shed loads of media attention. The Metro and other papers are full of it and loads of consumer comment...Any publicity for I'm a Celebrity at this time is huge and free. It will be pulling in advertisers at the perfect time wanting pre-Christmas sector exposure. Add in the footie world cup and as Money Week clearly states... ITV is worth a whole lot more than its current MCap and should step jump back to the FTSE 100 as MMs walk up the price. Next Weds is set to light the fuse.

Autobots should now kick in on the positive side taking this to 75 and beyond as stale holders drop out...logically....

And now the bog reversal and climb as the MMs engage.

Needed a clear out for the next (and stronger) step up....escalator time.

It's a blip. Should reverse quickly as the professionals wake up at 9... ;)

Update on Nov 9th should also give news that ITVX is live as it seems opportune time to boost sentiment.

ITVX will be a free service supported by adverts, with a compelling subscription proposition. This is fantastic for viewers - it will provide a simplified and seamless experience with thousands of hours of free content made up of both library and original exclusive content. The subscription tier will provide a premium offering and includes all of the content ad-free as well as BritBox and future SVOD content partners.

"We are supercharging our streaming business, fundamentally shifting our focus to think digital-first, as well as optimising our broadcast channels, by continuing to attract unrivalled mass audiences. In doing so we are responding to changing viewing habits, but also the evolving needs from our advertisers. This will enable ITV to continue to be both commercial viewers and advertisers’ first choice."

No delays...definitely launching this month.
ITVX will launch in November 2022. ITV managing director for media and entertainment Kevin Lygo confirmed the launch date at a panel at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday (2nd November).

Yep, it's pretty much gone viral worldwide which is a massive plus for ITV whichever way you look at it. The publicity will drag advertisers like a magnet and lay a great pathway for imminent ITVX platform. Perfect.

As the Express reporter documented 5 days ago..
While an exact release date for ITVX hasn't been confirmed yet, it's due to arrive in time for the World Cup which kicks off in Qatar on Sunday, November 20.

So the app should be available on or before then.

When ITVX arrives it - like ITV Hub - will let users tune into live programming such as the 2022 World Cup and Love Island Final

The launch of ITVX was scheduled for November and here we are Nov 1st. Beta testing has been/is being carried out and it would both sensible and logical to fully launch prior to the football beginning Nov 20th. Should provide a nice stimulation of interest going forward.

Well said. Hear hear.....

And ITVX next month.......

Cream stocks will rise to the top as market stability returns and ITV has lots of potential positive triggers on the near horizon.
