Default Desperate ITV wants to merge with Ch4 and Ch5

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009...dcasting-giant


This is dramatic
but ITV is in big Debt.

The Grumpy Boss of Ch4 now has many options
join with BBCAmerica (BBC worldwide)
Join with just Ch5
or now join with ITV and Ch5.

But if any of this goes ahead
will Big Brother get squeezed more

Its not really *that* big a deal

We won't really notice any changes instead of some programmes moving from ITV1/C4/five to one of the remaining two

Its not as though ITV are going to take over

But Ch4 is also in Debt trouble
if they do not do a deal with ITV/Ch5
or just Ch5

Then it means BBC America (BBCWorldwide)
joins up with Ch4
and that would be worse.


Which one do you pick.
And you can not say no
as Ch4 is trying to do a deal now.

Say that to the many that get sacked.


And Of Course ITV is not going to take over
it is to save money more as a 3 company set up,
and Ch4 and 5
are up for this.
