We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Kevin Lygo is a Russian troll? Do not believe a word the man says. Pogo knows better than Kevin. ITV is not hemorraging money on productions it makes purely for UK audiences.
That extra 160 million that the Dame pledged in 2022 for ITVX productions was money well spent despite the fact that LYygo is saying returns on some productions are minimal or making a loss. The Dame could not have foreseen that the additional spend would not generate the necessary revenue.
Only the City saw ITVX increased spending and kickbacks for the studio bosses for what it was and sold ITV after the announcement. A futile gesture designed purely to line the pockets of studio bosses.
How much longer must we keep this bunch of cronies feeding shareholder money to their mates in the industry whilst failing to act on a advertising world that has vanished?
McCall out. Fresh leadership and direction. Paywalls and license fee money
If the top watched show cannot generate enough revenue to meet the cost of production then what about the flops like Big brother and I'm a celebrity where "celebrities" and presenters are paid millions.
Some idiot (Lygo) is commissioning these shows and paying ever increasing fees to celebrities and politicians when the advertising revenue has moved away.
Free to Air is dead. License fee money or pay walls are the future.
Jed, Both you and I cannot hope to know what the big institutional investors are discussing. They are the majority shareholders. They can initiate change. If the Dame's abysmal performance is obvious to you and I. If the ITV staff are fed up with the cronies at the top. That news will have filtered back to the big investors.
The AGM would be the place for her to step down. I am an optimist and live in hope that Dame McCall finally sees sense and calls it a day on a sheet show
Well said OMalley. May the sun shine on Rhyl today.
Taking 20 million from the business for a performance that barely rates a 1million p.a. reward is tantamount to theft. She should have foregone her bonuses from year 1. Greedy, corrupt, narcissist who covered up sexual abuse in the workforce. She needs to get the boot.
Defending the indefensible. All the old gits line up to defend the Dame's honour.
Yet the facts speak for themselves. She wiped 10 billion off the valuation of the company. She took 20 million in remuneration which is undeserved and way out of line with CEO's of similar valuation companies with better performance (check out Greggs CEO).
She put a known sexual predator back on air (the Sun newspaper had meetings with ITV back in 2020 where they showed McCall and the board photographs and evidence of Schofield's relationship with the runner). She then went to Parliament and in front of the regulators lied and spun them stories that she knew to be untrue. She covered up her msitakes with a whitewash inquiry.
She has to go along with her EZJ cronies at the AGM.
Negative rhetoric swaying some?
I think most people are wise enough to see through the positive BS that Winnie, Solley and Janus promote.
The Dame has wiped over 10 billion of the share price. She has been paid over 20 million to do that. One of the highest remuneration packages of the FTSE 100 and yet this is FTSE250.
The share price has remained half its real value for most of her tenure and will stay rooted to the bottom until she and her cronies go. The problem is that there is no accountability at ITV. Like a Divine right she remains and nobody can move her on. No vote can topple her. Liz Truss came and went yet similarly incompetent Mccall rides it out. Her performance related bonus are fixed and not related to the SP and overall valuation of the comany
Ditch the Panto Dame
Are you even of an age where you can legally drink?
"rapidly increases your job"
Please translate the above into a phrase that makes sense.
Pogo your post makes no sense whatsoever. No new game here. This is buybacks. BigEgo spells it out far better than you ever can. You pose questions. You then answer them yourself. You insult everyone else's intelligence.
BigEgo's post about buybacks every day are incredibly useful. Looks like somebody is authorised to scale back or increase buybacks. We were looking at 2 million a day initially. Looks like a target price has been reached and less support is now required?
Pogo and herein lies the problem with your narrow, myopic and blinkered trading strategy (you really have exposed your amateur nature today).
Nothing unusual has occured with ITV today. There are no new players and to start making up such guff makes you a liability on this forum.
Take a look at the wider market today Pogo and you will see why ITV is up. Most shares have recaptured some of last weeks loss. My MKS share are up 4.3% today. I have taken that gain and will look to buy back tomorrow there.
I am way smarter than you. I look at a whole multitude of shares. I pool knowledge with friends. I cash in on small gains and make money where you are too frightened to act.
Focussing on one share and advising everyone to hold has exposed you as a one trick pony and poor investor.
Cricket will start up soon. The Dame's husband runs and administers a club. Carolyn can probably be found sunning herself in a deck chair with champagne glass in hand for the next few months. Her self appointed cronies will call her if any presenter abuses young runners and she is needed in Parliament to spin bare faced lies again.
If only Solley had had the good sense to put all his ITV money into Rolls Royce he would be laughing. Sadly he fell victim to his and other die hard holders spin. This share is a dog and yet Solley comes on here and gripes about the people who find fault rather than telling us all to switch to RR.
Pogo is now asking questions and answering them himself on a public message board. Very normal behaviour.
The last line "it will probably become clear very soon" is a dead give away as to the real poster driving Pogo. Our multihandler friend Nigeco is back. Her posting style is so obvious that she uses an AI app to write responses most of the time but on one one occassion she feels the need to reply in person she betrays her identity.
Very funny. Predictions are way off so that is very much Nigeco. She never made any money in any share she owned.
Pogo insults everyone equally becasue he cannot read English and does not understand a thing we post. I get auto responses from the Pyongyang bot mutliple times a day. All sneering and pretending to be more intellectual.
I am so sorry for anyone who believed Pogo's promise of 70p today. Yet again Pyongyang Pogo has called it wrong. He has a terrible history of guessing completely the opposite of what happens.
Looks like we are in for turbulent times ahead and some stock market corrections brought on by Iran's acts of aggression against Israel. The 2 million shares a day being bought by ITV is going to run out by end of the year and then that 56-76p gain may all fade away
Needs more action from the Dame and the BoD. Ignore the DPRK bot Pogo
Pogo your translation app is not great. The sentences you post are incomprehensible to native English speakers. I try to decipher them but am at a loss as to the meaning of your words. This probably means that every article you read on ITV has gone through the same app and comes out as gibberish. I get that your intention is good but right now your posts are a distraction from the real issues here.
Nigeco was known to multihandle. Angershark, Janus were both his handles. It makes sense that Pogo is his and he is using some automatic post generator to disguise that it is him.
Now I feel very small next t Pogo's enormous hourly rate. I am lucky if I get £100 a day in my coffee barista role. I rely on big earners like Pogo for tips
Thank you for your support as always Bald Eagle.
Pogo's predictions are getting a bit repetitive. The accuracy rate of Pogo's predictions so far are 0%. Nothing he has promised in the last 12 months has happened. None of the rises he promised. Instead he has sat on a 20%+ loss for a good 6 months despite telling everyone that he knew from his vast experience that ITV would only go up.
Pyongyang Pogo is clueless. His low level of English means that he is incapable of reading most commentary on ITV and cannot follow the financial presentations. He merely looks at stats and then makes wild projections about how this stock will lift in 12 months despite the past 6 years being a period of decline.
Nicely done Omalley/ Tom troll. Good to see someone benefited from my suggestion of sell 50% and buy back at more than 4p cheaper.
Pogo and Winstanley will be insanely jealous. I stupidly remained here but will do my usual summer vacation after the ITV AGM where I put my money elsewhere and make 10% whilst ITV languishes.
My other shares are making gains of 0.8 to 1% this morning. Only ITV has lost and not started to regain. This always used to be the case. Bad days ITV follows the market down. Good days it stays where it is.
Winnie stop stalking me!!!
