Banijay Group in Early Talks to Buy ITV (Report)

Banijay Group in Early Talks to Buy ITV (Report)
SHARE

TV giant Banijay is reportedly in talks with ITV about a potential acquisition, according to the Financial Times. Banijay Group, based in France, is known for its acquisitions and is eyeing the possibility of purchasing ITV or its highly sought-after ITV Studios division. ITV Studios is one of the largest TV production companies globally, responsible for hit shows like “Love Island” and “Fool Me Once,” as well as BAFTA TV Award nominees such as “Rivals” and “Mr Bates Vs the Post Office.” On the other hand, Banijay is behind popular series like “Peaky Blinders.”

The discussions between Banijay and ITV are in the early stages, with the possibility of Banijay seeking third-party investors to facilitate a full takeover. Speculation has been rife regarding the future of ITV Studios and potential suitors. Earlier reports suggested that RedBird IMI, an Abu Dhabi-backed investment group led by CEO Jeff Zucker, had explored merging ITV Studios with All3Media, which RedBird acquired in 2024 for $1.45 billion. This merger, if successful, would create one of the largest production companies in Europe.

In a significant move in 2020, Banijay solidified its position as a global TV powerhouse by acquiring Endemol Shine Group for $2.2 billion. Following rumors of a possible spin-off of its studio arm, ITV witnessed a rise in its share price, surpassing a value of $4 billion. Both Banijay and ITV have chosen to remain tight-lipped about the recent reports, declining to comment on the ongoing discussions.

The potential acquisition of ITV by Banijay signifies a major shift in the television industry, with two industry giants coming together to create a powerhouse in the production and distribution of content. As the talks progress, industry insiders and fans alike will be eagerly awaiting further developments in this intriguing partnership.
