Deadline examines why Sky is pursuing a $2B takeover of ITV, the British broadcaster behind 'Love Island' and 'Downton Abbey.'
Tom Harrington, a TV analyst from Enders Analysis, says ITV being free-to-air is also likely one of the main reasons for the potential deal. "ITV remains profitable and the reach that it commands as the major commercial broadcaster is probably the main reason why it would be attractive to Comcast/Sky".
