I think it's pretty obvious that ITV got what they wanted if you think about it.
There’s nothing obvious at all about it.

Advertisers pay ITV to reach the biggest commercial audiences. 4m homes is a sizeable portion of that. Do ITV want to go back and refund their advertisers a percentage of their fees? Probably not.

I see two companies haggling to the last minute and striking a mutually beneficial deal. Everyday capitalism really.
