I suspect it isn't just me you peep at. Please tell me you are an appropriate adult, Sam Dingle maybe, but appropriate

I wonder if my personal jest, Stain the fool, will entertain us today with his knowledge on flowers, dimwit knows nowt about ITV.

VOD is badly managed drowning in debt. Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

I really believe the uk markets will turn one day and the upside could be huge. It’s just how long the wait could be. I’ll keep holding here and the likes of VOD and PHNX and picking up the huge dividends whilst I wait. I’ll also keep adding when able to. With ITV and VOD I think there’s 100% upside to be seen in anywhere between 6 months and 6 years. Add in the dividends and it will be worth the wait.

Markets no longer regarded as investment...

Virtually the whole of the LSE is a Pariah atm with everyone blaming the CEO's.
There is a big problem with investing in the UK with Capitalism except for Property seen as Witchcraft.
We need to get the Pension Funds back in so we the Public are more aligned with the reality of business.

Most CEO's are one time wonders...tail wind by being at the right place with favourable economic conditions and a bit of luck...

Why not email the CEO? Dame....let her know your thoughts.

ITV should have fired the CEO three years ago, Dame 'Woke' McCall has been at the helm for six years and has killed ITV stone dead.

Until this show gets a new cast, it is doomed, the Dame has gone from failure to failure, FFS the head of streaming Radcliffe sold his entire £500k stake back in August at 76p a share. I think that just about say's it all.

Come rain or shine, she should resign asap!

Another day and MM's doing a rinse and repeat, watch these numbers go down as the shares dry up.

When this was put on the backburner, they were relying on paying 150p or a tad more or less, if they have accumulated a huge chunk over the last 24 months, they will pay top dollar for the rest. It also puts them in a strong position to make a clean bid and make things much harder for another bidder's chances.

I can see why they have waited, it will all become a lot clearer soon!

15 month low 🙄

The base pay is definitely lumpy. I would prefer it much more weighted towards variable pay linked to key metrics of which the share price would be just one.

Clipped from Rob at LSE interesting!

On 8 January 2018, following seven years as easyJet chief executive, McCall became the first female chief executive of commercial broadcaster ITV. She replaced Adam Crozier in the role. She is a creator of BritBox, a subscription video service venture in partnership with the BBC which launched of late 2019 in the UK. She said "It's quite bold, going into a market which Netflix has already been in for eight years."[16] She closed BritboxUK in 2022 when it was replaced by ITVX.

McCall earned a £3.7 million salary at ITV in 2018. Her 2019 base salary was set to increase by 2.5 per cent "in line with the wider employee group". In April 2020, McCall along with other senior executives took a 20% pay cut in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. McCall's pay in 2022/3 was £3.5 million.

In June 2023, she appeared before the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, where she was interrogated by Caroline Dinenage about the culture at ITV following the Philip Schofield scandal.

On January 31st 2018 the ITV share price stood at £1.67p valuing ITV at £7 billion, this morning the share price is a lowly 59p and struggling. Unless ITV have something good to offer next month imo the share price will not recover. McCall has been a disaster, anyone who doesn't get it must be blind. Sad thing is, if the share price recovers to 83p, the company has lost half it's Mkt Cap in her failed six years. Dreadful performance and in truth she should have gone years ago, but reward for failure is still rife in this country.

Have to laught at you Stain, your grasp of financial stuff is hilarious. I thank you!!

[huckers] 01/2/2024 10:37

At this early point looks like its shaping up to be another insipid, low-volume day. Will it continue like this until results on the 7th March?

[jonnybig] 01/2/2024 10:05

There's some cracking dramas on itvx ........ Mr bates, after the flood, a spy among friends, nolly,the thief his wife and the canoe, to name just a few. And they'll be cheap to produce I reckon.

[nakedmolerat] 01/2/2024 09:25

did itv miss a trick by not picking up a show like the traitors? i dont like it personally, as drama is my thing, but it seems to be one of those shows that everyone is talking about.

[jonnybig] 01/2/2024 08:11

Cheers for the update, goldfinger. Good to see that it's the MMs holding this down. Our patience will be rewarded! 😁
