Sky, the Comcast -owned British pay TV group, has agreed on terms to buy ITV's broadcast and streaming unit, two people familiar with the matter said, with ITV acquiring "The Great British Bake Off" producer Love Productions as part of the deal. https://t.co/KZ0voZpdZO
The BBC just played an advert featuring a women in period costume telling a vampire that the BBC TV license was ideal for him (presumably as he is immortal) since it “lasts for eternity”. This is misleading as it only lasts for 12 months! 😂
