\tU.K. TV giant ITV<\/a>, led by CEO Carolyn McCall<\/a>, provided a first-quarter 2026 trading update<\/a> early in the morning, along with an update on a potential big transaction.
\t“Following our announcement in November <\/a>2025, we remain in active discussions with Sky regarding a possible sale of the media & entertainment (M&E) business,” the company said. “We will update the market in due course.” The M&E business includes ITV’s commercial free-to-air TV channels in the U.K., as well as its ITVX streaming platform. After a potential deal, ITV Studios would continue as a standalone company. \t<\/p>\n
