Comcast Reportedly in Talks to Acquire ITV's Broadcasting Unit Comcast Corporation (NasdaqGS:CMCSA) is in talks with ITV plc (LSE:ITV) about buying its television business, in a deal that could result in it being combined with the US media giant’s Sky subsidiary to create a leading broadcast and streaming group in the UK. The talks between ITV and Comcast focus on the UK public service broadcaster’s media and entertainment arm, which comprises its terrestrial channels as well as its streaming service ITVX, according to people familiar with the situation. Any transaction would not involve ITV Studios, the broadcaster’s production arm. The talks between Comcast and ITV are at an early stage and there is no certainty of a deal being struck, one of the people close to the discussions said. Comcast, which bought media and telecoms business Sky in 2018, is one of several companies to have expressed a potential interest in ITV’s operations. ITV, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange, has a market capitalisation of £2.5 billion. Comcast and ITV declined to comment. Bloomberg first reported the talks between the two companies.

Keir Starmer Offers BBC's Commercial Rivals the Chance to Join Forces Keir Starmer has opened the door to mergers between the BBC's commercial rivals as they come under mounting pressure from streaming. The Government on 23 June 2025 set out plans to remove barriers to allow broadcasters such as ITV plc (LSE:ITV), Channel 4 and Channel 5 to join forces as part of its new industrial strategy. Ministers said they would examine "possible consolidation between broadcasters, which may benefit their financial sustainability and audiences", as well as "closer strategic partnerships". The Competition and Markets Authority and Ofcom will be asked to review their defnitions of the television and advertising markets to include, for instance, YouTube and Netfix. Such moves would reduce the market share of broadcasters, making it much more likely that regulators could approve a merger of their advertising sales operations, or even an ITV takeover of Channel 5 and Channel 4. Investors and television industry leaders are increasingly arguing for such consolidation to cut costs as audiences and advertisers migrate to streamers. Less radical steps are already being taken in that direction. ITV, Channel 4 and Sky last week struck a deal to pool their online advertising spots to mount a stronger challenge to the colossal scale of YouTube. The three broadcasters each operate their own television advertising sales house. Bringing them together would be an obvious next step, but would require regulators to agree that streaming competition means it would not be too powerful a player. The Government pointed to broadcasters in other countries pursuing mergers to "increase economies of scale". It added: "We must take active steps to ensure our domestic broadcasters can adapt to this changing market, and continue their support for independent producers of all sizes so that intellectual property remains in the UK. "The financial sustainability of our public service broadcasters is under pressure as they compete for content and advertising revenues with global media and technology companies." It comes as ITV is locked in discussions over a deal that could result in either a sale of the broadcaster or a deal to spin off its lucrative production business. Banijay, the French production powerhouse behind Big Brother and Peaky Blinders, has reportedly held discussions with ITV over a potential bid. All3Media, the UAE-owned group behind shows including The Traitors and Race Across the World, has also been linked to a possible deal. Ankündigung • Apr 14
