The sale includes all ITV channels and ITVX, plus beloved shows like The Great British Bake Off. ITV Studios, now operating independently, commits $2.1 billion to the new Sky-ITV media group, ensuring hits like Coronation Street and Love Island continue. This split dismantles ITV’s historic public service role while aligning with Sky’s parent company Comcast’s plan to spin off Sky and NBCUniversal. Sky CEO Dana Strong insists ITV will remain a cornerstone of British TV, blending free-to-air, pay TV, and streaming to compete globally. It’s a seismic shift in UK media — part of a worldwide wave of consolidation reshaping how we consume content. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
