ITV must now be a bargain. The current team clearly are an issue but you'd think the big American companies would recognise the bargain.

The yield is also high and can be reinvested. That really does limit the down side. You can even win here if it drops further!

I have Call Options on these which are ticking up nicely, but cheap below 150p, I don't think so, I would guess most shareholders are sorry for turning down 130p back along. NTL are being linked with ITV but they are strapped for cash atm, so an all paper offer looks likely, and that's not attractive. Once they name their new boss and he gets stuck in then we may see some more upward movement maybe to 120p ish. All IMO of course.

THE REAL VALUE IS IN ALL THE OLD CONTENT NEW ETC - GOOGLE ET AL WOULD PERFORM MIRACLES WITH IT

A bid from NTL will be a all share bid, because NTL have not got the cash.

Any fool would lend it to them for that sort of price tag!

Also BT has got 6 billion waiting! -Waiting for what you might ask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember the Asda takeover!

This time watch a cable firm do all the ground work before BT sweep in!!!!!!!!!!!1

A huge buy has just gone through!

very quiet are we all waiting for B T to bid,

TANKER----Is that likely, with NTL talking about a takeover/merger it has put ITV in play again, but BT. WDIK

Must be a strong possibility of BT joining in. We can just hope they do.

THE GERMANS ARE COMING!

there will be more over weekend,

Oh dear................. call in Capt Mainwaring :-)

From what I gather 'I'm a Celebrity get me out of here' is proving to be very popular which makes a change for ITV

oh dear ----you mis -CALLED-the wrong captain has arrive/?????

BSkyB has bought 17.9% of ITV stock. Should make for a very interesting opening on Monday.

Yes 696miliion at 135p each !

told you 145p bid on way , ludlow3 said this 2 weeks ago. on advfn.

I don't think 145p is on the cards. However 80p seems more likely as BSkyB has bought 15% of ITV preventing the merging of ITV and NTL. The Daily Telegraph on Saturday has said there will be a massive drop in sp next week. Good luck!

Quiet here this morning, maybe wondering where the sp is going.

now we will see if the fsa is anygood they have broken the law of market forces and insider dealing.

The move will make it better for BT
