Te CEO knocking has become a daily regurgitation, those losers must be well out of pocket. Change had to happen, they just can't accept it. One says they - plausibly the same person.
Tom and Contrarian are once again heckling from the box, reminiscent of Statler and Waldorf.
Thanks :)
Desertsands, I haven't read the article from The Telegraph because I'm not a subscriber and I don't want to start a free trial. However, I believe it may echo the sentiment expressed in the link I've shared, portraying Lynch as the main antagonist.

ITV has initiated a strategy for ITVX, termed as "fanning flames", which involves exploring the marketing potential of older shows from its extensive content archive.

A little bit of good news and Tom spits his dummy out!
ITV's performance on ITVX during the Cheltenham Festival witnessed an impressive surge, with 3.6 million streams, marking a commendable 13% rise compared to the previous year. Additionally, their coverage of the Six Nations tournament garnered significant attention, with 16.6 million streams, reflecting a notable increase of three million (23%) from 2023. This achievement underscores ITV's prowess in both sports broadcasting and digital streaming.
Moreover, ITV continues to shine in the realm of drama, defying the prevalent industry trend of declining audience numbers. This recent sporting success adds to the broadcaster's string of accomplishments, reaffirming its status as a leading entertainment provider.
No, I'm telling you that you are the clown.
Just posting this because Tom hates positive news:

You don't need to, you make a clown of yourself without their help!
Are you talking to yourself again Tom?
Seek help, old son, they can do wonders these days!
Yes Tom, one is well aware of the previous Chernin rumours and of the Fool's reputation. The only bigger fool is you, old son. Isn't it time you moved on, loser?
Was posted today, but is it a mash-up of old news?
Seems likely.
...'News of the Hollywood connection hasn’t gone unnoticed, piquing the interest of some of the world’s largest financial institutions.'
Realy!

Yes, it's a disgrace. We are subservient to the US, IMO:
Extradition Cases: One of the primary arguments supporting the notion of UK subservience to the US is evident in high-profile extradition cases, particularly those involving individuals like Julian Assange, Mike Lynch and Gary McKinnon. Critics argue that the UK's legal system seems to favor the extradition requests made by the US, often at the expense of protecting the rights and interests of the individuals involved. This perceived deference to US extradition requests has led some to question the UK's sovereignty and judicial independence.
Special Relationship: The concept of the "special relationship" between the UK and the US is often cited in discussions about subservience. While this relationship has historical and strategic significance, critics argue that it sometimes translates into the UK aligning itself closely with US interests, even when it might not be in its best interest. This alignment can be seen in various aspects, including foreign policy decisions and military cooperation.
Brexit and Trade Relations: The Brexit process has also sparked debates about the UK's relationship with the US. Proponents of the view that the UK is subservient to the US argue that leaving the European Union has left the UK economically vulnerable and in need of forging closer ties with other major powers, particularly the US. Critics of this stance argue that such reliance on the US could lead to the UK accepting terms that are not entirely favorable in trade negotiations, further reinforcing the perception of subservience.
Military and Intelligence Cooperation: The UK's close collaboration with the US in military and intelligence matters is often cited as evidence of subservience. While this cooperation is mutually beneficial in many respects, critics argue that it sometimes results in the UK being drawn into conflicts or intelligence operations that serve US interests more than its own.
Overall, the perception of the UK's subservience to the US is complex and multifaceted, encompassing legal, political, economic, and strategic considerations. It's a viewpoint that's likely to continue evolving in response to ongoing developments in extradition cases, Brexit negotiations, and international relations more broadly.
New York Times perspective:
'Mr. Lynch still wields considerable resources to defend himself in the San Francisco courtroom.' “Mike Lynch has faith that he will be vindicated when he finally gets a chance to tell his story to a jury,” Reid Weingarten, one of several prominent white-collar defense lawyers representing Mr. Lynch in the United States, said in a statement. “We look forward to this opportunity to tell Mike Lynch’s story and allow him to put this unfortunate chapter behind him.”

It's good to see R&D in this. What Partnerships is Tamara thinking of?
' Women’s health is a sizeable growth opportunity and it’s fair to say that it’s been overlooked in the past – by both the public and private sectors. That’s something we want to change as part of our broader health inclusivity ambition and by working through our purposeful brands. To drive systemic change however, partnerships need to be forged across the entire health ecosystem, and there’s a critical role we can play in that.'
