Itv Share Discussion Threads

[stansmith3] 22/10/2021 20:05

hadesits not a question if its good or not, strategic or otherwiseits just a fact that net of everything, itv are burning roughly 800k to 1m pounds a week on iti know its inconvenient for some like nologiclad who just wants to hear feel good baseless posts, but facts are facts

[stansmith3] 22/10/2021 20:02

oh oh nologiclad is back
losing 1m a week is ok now

i am out of my depth? can you show your depth, by backing that up? what have you added besides trolling me?

what a tit

can no one on this group handle facts?


can we only discuss bbox doing well, when its losing money hand over fist?

can we only dream of takeovers because someone bought some adrs?

i see sticking to the facts is just too much for some people..

i was challenged by mark to back up my comments which i did

i dont see anyone else backing their facts up

Still in ITV or sold?

Thanks

Sure they probably could but many believe it is a sound Investment in the future and certainly adds to ITVs attraction should anyone want to buy the company? - access to BBC library.I suspect your view (whilst I respect it) is in the minority.I subscribe to BritBox

It could also be the Snap etc are more dependent on SME advertisers?
Certainly UK Television Advertising has not been impacted by supply shortages - it was the first question I asked months ago.
Even Car Manufacturers are extremely active on TV at the moment building their brands despite the shortage of new cars! - the TV Advertisers are playing the long game.
Also remember Brand Advertising is essential in order to pass through the price increases to the customer!!!
Advertisers are pleased with the recent price inflation - they don’t have to discount so margins have increased in percentage and absolute terms!
For many retailers it’s the increase in margins in absolute terms that has been a real bonus!
That hasn’t happened for decades - they love inflation (margins increase in absolute cash terms).
Strange world.

FFS stan, give it a rest, you really are a boring tit! McCall said that Britbox was never going to compete with the big streamers.

You harp on about the biggest loser and keep bashing.......try and exercise that dormant organ between your ears and work out just how much money it would take to produce the Britbox back catalogue. Back catalogues and nostalgia are worth billions, take a look the Beatles back catalogue, or Elvis or Buddy Holly, it's called NOSTALGIA and Britbox has it in spades.

So it lost a million a week, so what, go back and look at how much debt Netflix accrued. Stan, you are out of your depth on this thread, get over to the penny share thread and preach your boring mantra!

Normal service resumed, FTSE100 index up 0.57% +41pts, ITV down 0.71% -0.75p.

Stan
I do accept the ITV Hub is the main priority.
Remember BoxBox US was up and running way before Carolyn's arrival but it now makes a modest profit - that part was a 50/50 JV with the BBC.

Ah, yet another Motley Tool article on ITV late afternoon after the market close. Get a few early punters in to buy stock first thing and get the market to call them down, same old, same old. Good for me just had a little cheeky top up !

[hades1] 21/10/2021 23:34

There is nothing new in any of this.In isolation streaming services rarely make money due to setup/ongoing costs.BritBox USA is now profitable.BritBox Australia/SA will be profitable.BritBox UK - that's the question?But I do believe she had to do the deal with the BBC, CH4 and CH5 and invest in the BritBox offering - it's not a earthshaking cost/investment.

[stansmith3] 21/10/2021 23:04

hadesagree with us, someone buying a chunk of adrs is just thatnigebbox is already in the bath for the better part of 200m and that is just itvs share, even with decent growth rates its 5 years away from getting that back...the mkt has realised this even though people here have not, they cant not have an online strategy, but competing with netflix and disney will not end well, the niche mkt doesnt look big enough to pay the bills unfortunatelythere must be programmes they could commission with worldwide appeal, say downton abbey, that could make the whole endeavour somehow worthwhile and make people believe in its potential, i can only guess the numbers dont add up or there are reasons stopping that kind of plan...?

[hades1] 21/10/2021 21:28

LSE pricing is all that matters

[hades1] 21/10/2021 21:26

Not convinced the ADR trading is anything other than US funds taking advantage of the new Morgan Stanley /UBS unauthorised ADRs to invest in a very cheap ITV broadcaster and it's largely US based studios business.

[nige co] 21/10/2021 20:54

Yes indeed, but the ARD's were up when LSE closed.

[hades1] 21/10/2021 17:11

Sold down once Wall Street opened similar to BT.We were up to 106.55p before US opened.

Stan, I also would like to know when the BOD expect BritBox to make a profit. All I remember is Carolyn McCall saying that this years Britbox losses will be the same amount as last years, but also said that losses are expected to decline from next year onwards.

[stansmith3] 21/10/2021 15:31

nigei have seen nothing that bbox is due to to turn a profit anytime soonwould really like to see that laid out if you can remember where it was - thanksunfortunately for itv, netflix and disney will own the 7 quid a month space, probably forever as they using the income to create contentnot so many people interested in dads army at that priceitv can clearly create content, but until they bite the bullet and stream it first, bbox goes nowhere

[nige co] 21/10/2021 15:24

Stan, from memory BritBox losses will start to decline from next year.
