ITV saw ad revenues surge 8% in the third quarter as viewers and advertisers flocked to the Rugby World Cup putting the broadcaster on track for another year of record profits. ITV said that for the first nine months of the year, total revenues, including for its online and production arm, were up 13% year on year to £2.3bn. ITV Studios saw revenues rocket 28% year on year to GBP782m in the first nine months, largely thanks to the acquisition of The Voice maker Talpa.
