Re: Sky in talks to buy ITV
I had a quick read of that on the BBC website
No surprise (to me) that it came across more about Advertising Revenue than the quality of programs . . two mentioned were I'm a Celebrity and Love Island . . definitely top quality FFS 
Mind numbing garbage for the (already) brain dead masses, where the 10 minute advert breaks (every 15 minutes) allow them to catch up on the latest facebook posts.

Re: Sky in talks to buy ITV
ITV (and BBC) produce almost nothing I watch anymore.
In fact looking at my current list of shows, none of them are made by either.

That's not how Sky are reporting it. May be ITV will be eaten up by Sky.

Interesting period for Comcast as they are also looking to purchase WBD

Re: Sky in talks to buy ITV
Yet another good reason to ditch TV and the license fee.
