ITV has agreed the sale of its media and entertainment arm to Sky for up to £1.6 billion, both companies have announced. The deal - subject to regulatory approval - follows months of talks and will combine the divisions with Sky to create a major competitor to the global streaming giants including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. The sale includes the broadcaster’s free-to-air channels and streaming service ITVX, but not its production arm, ITV Studios, which makes shows including I’m A Celebrity, and award-winning dramas like Mr Bates Vs The Post Office. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
