- Sky's planned acquisition covers ITV's broadcast and streaming operations, while ITV Studios is excluded.
- UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has raised public-interest concerns about media plurality and editorial choice.
- Ofcom and the Competition and Markets Authority could assess the transaction if the review proceeds.
Sky's planned acquisition of ITV's broadcast and streaming operations remains subject to regulatory scrutiny, keeping the structure of the British media group in focus for investors. Sky News reported on October 15, 2026, that Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy was minded to intervene over public-interest concerns.
The proposed transaction covers ITV's free-to-air channels and ITVX but excludes ITV Studios. The companies have said that ITV's public service broadcasting commitments would remain in place and that ITV News and Sky News would continue as distinct editorial voices.
Regulatory Review Remains The Key Milestone
Nandy's concerns include freedom of expression, the plurality of views in UK news media and the control of media businesses. Sky and ITV were given until October 20 to respond, after which Ofcom could examine public-interest issues and the Competition and Markets Authority could assess competition matters. Sky News reported the regulatory position.
