I would be concerned if ITV fell into overseas hands as it supports so much British production.
The EU is not proposing to increase advertising time in the UK, that's been spun by publications that want the UK to leave the EU. According to the trade press, "If it does pass in its current form, and works like the EU’s current television regulations, it will act as an upper limit for advertising across the EU, under which national governments will set their own limits. It will allow, but not require, the UK to loosen its restrictions on advertising time." http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/articl...RXvqY1azMYq.99 |
I hope you are right. There is a question mark in there

Unlike yourself, I wouldn't trust the EU as far as I can throw them. They have an agenda to demolish national law making and have all laws originating from Brussels; those laws will be proposed by an unelected body. They will do this bit by bit.
