message: : The network, which is currently branded ITV1 by ITV plc, has vied with the British Broadcasting Corporation's BBC One for the status of the UK's most watched channel since the 1950s (a crown it only lost in 2005).
Does the last phrase mean that ITV1 has outdrawn BBC1 every year except 2005?  Or that BBC1 has outdrawn ITV1 every year except 2005?  Or that either BBC1 or ITV1 has been on top every year except 2005, when some other channel won?  Or something else? —Tamfang (talk) 22:19, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: And considering some of the early TV sets may have been single channel only plus it took some years to establish ITV franchises in all regions I'd be surprised if ITV was beating the BBC in its first few years. Timrollpickering (talk) 14:47, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Various IPs keeping adding unsourced claims that ITV plc has been acquired by Paramount. These claims are patently false as ITV plc is still listed on the London Stock Exchange. See here. Although ITV plc has licensing agreements in place with Paramount, I can find no reliable source that suggests any takeover bid from Paramount to acquire ITV plc is either imminent or under consideration. Dormskirk (talk) 12:23, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I note that false takeover claims have now been posted to this article on 13 occasions since the start of the year. I also note that there are similar claims circulating on investor chat rooms and that such speculation could be driving the recent sharp increase in the company's share price. It should be noted that, "knowingly or recklessly spreading false or misleading information about a qualifying investment through the media" may be regarded as market abuse. I have previously made a request for page protection in the hope of trying to stop this. Dormskirk (talk) 18:00, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah this is a total nightmare, other than for financial gain I can see no other reason people are making these false edits. I find it very unlikely that Paramount would be interested in acquiring ITV and even if they were I doubt they could get it past regulators as they already own C5. I am in full agreement that page protection would probably be the best shout to prevent this. Professional Adriazeri (talk) 21:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
