ITV PLC
ITV PLC is a British media company that sits between television audiences and the advertisers who want to reach them. It owns commercial TV channels and a streaming service, and it makes money mainly by selling advertising around its programs and charging for access to some of its content and services. Its core customers on the broadcast side are viewers, while its paying customers include advertisers and distribution partners. ITV also runs a large TV production business called ITV Studios. This part of the company develops, makes, and sells scripted and unscripted shows to other broadcasters and streaming platforms around the world. In this business, ITV earns money by licensing shows, producing commissions, and selling finished programs rather than relying only on ads. What makes ITV different is that it combines a consumer-facing broadcaster with a behind-the-scenes content supplier. That gives it two ways to make money: from owning channels that attract audiences, and from creating programs that other media companies want to buy. For beginners, the simplest way to think about ITV is as both a TV network and a TV content factory.
