Good morning folks.

It's worth noting that although Comcast has primarily focused on ITV's broadcasting side, the changing media landscape and the increasing importance of content could prompt them to consider the studio division as well. Arguably, there's a strong possibility that a new European contender could enter the scene as competition becomes fiercer.

Implications:

there is a possibility that Comcast could decide to walk away due to increased risks or regulatory hurdles, the more likely scenario is that they will be more determined to finalize the deal with ITV.

Paramount's new offer to beat Netflix shows there's a real push for media mergers, and companies are ready to put their money where their mouths are to build a stronger portfolio. This kind of competition could raise the value of media assets like ITV.

With all the talk around Warner Bros Discovery, Comcast might feel encouraged to seal a deal for ITV, seeing it as a great chance to grow.

Thanks for the link, BigEgo.

Looks to be a solid performance again.

Despite what many people may believe, most television viewing is still driven by the broadcast schedule:

There's no point in engaging with the misogynistic idiots. I've narrowed down quite a few and suspect that a single entity is behind the creation of multiple identities. The filtering feature is fantastic, it's sheer bliss.

Well, it's been a rollercoaster - which possibly has a long track to yet complete.

Adam Montanaro, a fund manager, is saying that while the short-term growth predictions made by a blogger may seem overly positive, he agrees with the overall idea that the Raspberry Pi, originally just a small device for hobbyists, is becoming an important part of technology used for artificial intelligence (AI). In simpler terms, he thinks the Raspberry Pi is moving from a toy for tech enthusiasts to a serious tool for AI development:
