Broadcaster, which won UK rights to Oprah Winfrey interview, returns to growth after fall in profits last year
The coronavirus pandemic wiped more than £200m off ITV’s profits last year but the broadcaster has said there are signs of a strong recovery in TV ad revenues, helped by Oprah Winfrey’s sensational interview with Prince Harry and Meghan.
ITV reportedly paid £1m for the exclusive UK rights for the interview, aired on Monday night, and its chief executive, Carolyn McCall, said that price paid meant the broadcaster would only just cover its costs.
