In 2004, ITV plc was formed as a result of a merger between Granada plc, the parent company of Granada Television, and Carlton Communications. This new establishment created a single company from all the pre-existing ITV franchises in Wales and England.
Known as the “five-year transformation plan”, a large-scale business reorganisation was launched in 2010. By 2012, the company had already achieved significant growth in audience share and received a ranking upgrade from BB- to BB+. Moreover, the firm reduced its debt from £730m ($963m, €815m) in net debt at the end of 2008 to £16m in net cash in Q1 2012.
In 2018, the business posted annual revenue of over £3.211bn. In 2019, the figure stood at £3.308bn.
Today, the company’s business activities are divided into two key segments: ITV Broadcast & Online, operating the TV networks like the ITV News Group; and ITV Studios, comprising both the UK and international production, Global Entertainment and ITV’s facilities businesses.
