Oh, and dont forget about the hobbit house in Gwent, that was truly amazing. As houses of each colour were shown, he continued, From yellow houses, blue houses, pink houses, and … greener houses, like this one. Of course, its not about the colour, its all about the green solutions provided by Scottish Power. So why not make your amazing space even more amazing by turning it a little greener.

From 26 seconds to 35 seconds into the advert, superimposed text at the bottom stated, Scottish Power supply products from third party manufacturers and installations are carried out by approved partners.

Report: RedBird, Mediawan and TF1 eyeing ITV bid | News | Broadcast

Sky News says early stage planning is taking place All3Media-owner RedBird IMI, KKR-backed Mediawan and France’s TF1 Group are among companies reportedly exploring offers for ITV and/or its production subsidiary ITV Studios (ITVS), according to Sky News. Sky said Jersey-based investment firm CVC Capital Partners and France’s TF1 Group are exploring a bid that could see CVC take ownership of ITVS, with the channels and streaming business ITVX moving into TF1’s stable. RedBird IMI and Mediawan, which acquired Leonine in April, have also been mooted as potential suitors for ITVS, which has driven revenue growth over recent years despite a decline in Q3 this year. Discussions are at very early stages according to Sky News, which added that ITV chief executive Carolyn McCall has held discussions with financial advisors about a potential demerger or separation. ITV has been unable to significantly shift its share price since summer 2022 and although it has fluctuated a little in recent months, prior to the sale speculation it was around 62p – almost exactly the same as it was in November 2023. ITV’s shares were up by more than 7% in early trading this morning (25 November) following news of the potential takeover bid over the weekend, valuing the company at £2.7bn. - www.broadcastnow.co.uk
