Due to mega high advertising revenues and new hit shows, the UK’s ITV network reported an annual profit increase of nearly three times that of last year. The X Factor and Downton Abbey for example, have been extremely popular, along with the mega-successful World Cup and that has probably resulted in these incredible statistics. The broadcasting company also reported increase in advertising revenues and online business which would be expected to continue. As well, it looks like 2011 first quarter figures will increase 12 pc and by April this will be between 8 and 12 pc.
