- The Times, Monday, December 21, 2015 6:19 AM
The future of ITV is once again up in the air rather than on it after renewed speculation that another U.S. cable company is being linked with a bid for Britain’s largest terrestrial commercial broadcaster. Comcast, the owner of NBCUniversal, is reported to be weighing a bid, with reports that the two have held talks. It is the second time this year that a US media company has been linked with ITV — Liberty Global, the cable company that owns Virgin Media, has built a 9.9% stake. ITV would not comment.
