Posted on the other thread, I doubt Hades agrees with my City Friend.

I can't say I agree with the Hades view of ITV and the faith many long term investors have in ITV ever becoming a force in these streaming wars.

I am with the big funds here who are not happy with the management and I think it's only a matter of time before Carolyn McCall is forced out. The reason investors have lost faith here is 100% down to a bad management board who are bent on wokeness and a world that doesn't exist. If ITV were a Premier football club she would have gone in her first year of failure, says something that she is still there after so many mishaps, scandals and gaffs on top of a 60% drop in the share price.. .

Talking to a friend who works in the City, he said his bank had been selling ITV for the past three months, he added that when the their top man Radcliffe sold his entire holding, bells rang loud and clear that all was not well at ITV.

For those who need reminding.

i see time horizons changing and people becoming very comfortable with their itv investment...lol....amazing what getting locked in does to you...soon they will be saying buy at the turn will be the easiest money you will ever make...do they realise they are kicking their own goalposts all the time? they did argue the share price wouldnt fall from 123, that the share price didnt rerate on itvx and then fall due to rising rates?

Markets don't make sense any more...no longer investment case returns...pot luck speculators paradise share price kick around...companies should stop paying divis...just share price appreciation...what is the purpose of paying divi if share price keeps going down...not just here lots of household FTSE names...

I wonder with the share price on the floor again whether ITV will flirt with the idea of selling or making a partial sale of the Studios business? This time last year it helped the share price to recover.

hades thread is as dead as this one. Slater, not one post on the hades/BOIX thread on ITV streaming guru and board member Rufus Radcliffe selling his total holdings in ITV for 75p a share two months ago.

The sale was published in Directors Dealings on just about every financial website but very few comments on ADVFN. As far as I am concerned Radcliffe's dumping of his ITV stake knocked the share price and Radcliffe who picked up the stock for very little should have been warned it was a reckless move.

Just last week as ITV fell to 61p, Radcliffe would have been nearly 20% better off on the sale. If anything bad crops up in Wednesday's report then the FCA should investigate as to why a prominent board member sold his stake in a company that he is head of streaming a major part of ITV. The success of streaming arm ITVx is vital for ITV's future...what faith should investors have in ITV when the head of streaming must know that ITV is a bad investment enough to sell his stake out.

Also the Radcliffe's sale shows Goldfinger's preposterous 'Bid Imminent' groundless rumour as complete tosh, rubbish and blind wishful thinking. Radcliffe's sale of every ITV share he held not just a few but hundreds of thousands of shares looked so fishy and caused many ordinary loyal holders to follow Radcliffe...if a board member is selling out their stake in a bombed out share, only fool would stay long in ITV.

ITV need a CEO who can save them, McCall has failed and Radcliffe isn't fit to be on the board.

Heard that ITV CMO Rufus Radcliffe is the hope for ITV to move into 2024/5. Behind the scenes Radcliffe has ruffled the feathers of a BOD with Dame woke in charge. Radcliffe took on additional responsibility for its direct-to-consumer division, including the brand’s premium streaming service ITVx.

In 2020 he won Marketer of the Year at the Marketing Week Masters awards. Radcliffe was the popular choice of a jury consisting of some of the UK’s most prominent marketing voices. He was the top choice from a shortlist of the highest rated marketers in the Marketing Week Top 100, sponsored by Salesforce.

Mostly due to Radcliffe ITV also scooped the award for Team of the Year and the Grand Prix for ‘Britain Get Talking’, an initiative it created with Uncommon to encourage conversations about mental health.

Rufus Radcliffe has been on ITV’s management board since 2017, overseeing marketing. In the fiercely competitive world of TV, Radcliffe has helped shift the ITV brand away from its “cosy” image towards something more culturally relevant, especially among lighter viewers.

He’s ramped up the company’s marketing capabilities by hiring a director of consumer marketing and a director of media to “get people to watch our stuff and spend time with us”, as well as creating an econometric model to understand media effectiveness.

Radcliffe is also passionate about integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the business, and is using AI to build complex ad products for the ITV Hub. He also managed to poach Sanjeevan Bala from Channel 4 as ITV’s new group chief data and AI officer at the start of the year.

So why in August 2023 just a couple of months ago did Radcliffe sell his entire ITV holdings out??? Report from SWS... Some ITV plc (LON:ITV) shareholders may be a little concerned to see that the MD of Streaming, Rufus Radcliffe, recently sold a substantial UK£ £469k worth of stock at a price of UK£0.75 per share. That diminished his holding by a very significant 100%, which arguably implies a strong desire to reallocate capital.

Forget about Schofield and all the other scandals ITV have had under Dame McCall's stewardship, why has there been no mention of this from ITV. Has Radcliffe sold his stake to his future employer, I will leave it for ITV to come up with a reason.

Sad that it is the sale went almost unnoticed on this and other ITV blogs, maybe nobody takes any notice any more!

Stay long!!

If sky feel it is appropriate they can lower their prices too. Nothing wrong with ITVX but the profits required to move the share price are not there. Myself and discodave went through the numbers here required by britbox to meaningfully move the itv share price It didn't even make a profit with revenues of 50m. It lost over 100m before being swept under the carpet and rebranded as ITVX. Streaming is a ponzi scheme. ITVX would need to show growing profits in the several hundred million range to get the share price to where people think it should be. Not happening, but by all means hang in there.

Kelso, share buy backs aren't supposed to have an instant impact on the SP, that's what makes so many people angry because they don't really understand their purpose.

Look at it like this. The shareholders are effectively a company's creditors, that's why some companies show their balance sheet as "equity and liabilities". A buy back is therefore akin to repaying its debt, and saves paying a dividend on those shares it has bought back, plus the dividends aren't tax allowable so if the dividend yield is say 8%, the buy back is equivalent to paying off a 10% bank loan.

So if a company has excess cash then imo a buy back is very beneficial.

Buy backs are long term and very progressive so it tends to frustrate shareholders if the share price doesn't rise, but of course the share price is open to hits by a variety of other circumstances out of the company's control such as short sellers, inflation and wars but because the underlying NAV is essentially independent of share price fluctuations it just means the Market Value (if the share price falls) trades at a greater discount to the company's NAV.

Hope that helps.
