ITV BROADCASTING LIMITED

Shareholders of ITV Broadcasting Limited

One holder is disclosed for ITV Broadcasting Limited (Companies House 00955957). The Companies House PSC register records a single active person with significant control and no active statements: ITV M&E Holdings Limited, registered in England and Wales under number 16511823, notified on 13 August 2025. Its nature of control is recorded as ownership of shares of 75% or more, ownership of voting rights of 75% or more, and the right to appoint or remove directors. The UK register publishes control in bands, so the register itself supports only “75% or more”; the company’s own audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 state that it is a wholly owned subsidiary within the ITV plc group.

The register shows two earlier registrable holders, both ceased: Granada Group Limited (00290076), notified 28 March 2025 and ceased 13 August 2025, and Granada Media Limited (03106798), notified 6 April 2016 and ceased 28 March 2025. The share capital consists of 100,004 ordinary shares of £1, per the SH19 statement of capital filed on 3 July 2026, following an allotment recorded on 23 June 2026 and a reduction of the share premium account resolved on 29 June 2026.

Ultimate beneficial ownership

No natural person is identified as a beneficial owner of ITV Broadcasting Limited anywhere in the public record checked. The registrable holder is a company, not an individual. Its own PSC register names ITV plc (04967001), notified 15 August 2025 at 75% or more of shares and voting rights; and ITV plc’s PSC page carries the statement that, from 11 September 2018, it is exempt from the requirement to obtain PSC information because it has voting shares admitted to trading on a UK regulated market. The ownership chain therefore terminates at a listed company, and no effective percentage for any individual can be calculated or published.

Data availability

Availability is full for the registrable corporate holder and partial for the wider base: the UK publishes the PSC register and a statement of capital, but not a share register, so exact percentages for holders below the 25% PSC threshold are not public. The stored Zavia.ai shareholder row (ITV M&E Holdings Limited, 100,004 ordinary £1 shares, 100%) reconciles exactly with the filed statement of capital and with the accounts’ “wholly owned subsidiary” wording, but the 100% figure comes from that row, not from the PSC register, which publishes bands only. The stored corporate-tree data is inconsistent with this: it still places the company under Granada Group Limited and shows ITV M&E Holdings Limited elsewhere in the structure.

Directors and officers of ITV Broadcasting Limited

Companies House holds 68 officer records for ITV Broadcasting Limited (00955957): six active and 62 resigned. All six current officers hold the single legal role of Director; no other role is in force. They are Edward Kelly Williams (appointed 16 December 2014), Sarah Louise Clarke (15 December 2015), Kevin Anthony Lygo (1 March 2016), Rosemary Newell (26 April 2017), Christopher John Kennedy (18 March 2019) and Enita Kaur Kang (31 January 2025). The register records the nationality of all six as British and their place of residence as the United Kingdom or England; these are the register’s own fields, not inferences. Under the Companies House identity-verification regime all six are shown as verified, five of them by an Authorised Corporate Service Provider between 28 August and 5 September 2025.

The company has no company secretary in office, and has had none since 31 October 2008, when the last secretary appointment on the register ended. A private company has not been required to appoint a secretary since 6 April 2008, so the absence is lawful rather than a filing omission. The register also shows two historical corporate officers: Crosswall Nominees Limited and UNM Investments Limited, each appointed as a director on 15 June 2000 and resigned on 4 October 2000. Both are corporate bodies, not natural persons.

The company’s own directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2024 names the directors who held office during the year as S Clarke, K Lygo, R Radcliffe (resigned 30 April 2024), E Williams, R Newell and C Kennedy, and records E Kang as appointed after the year end. That list agrees with the register.

Recent officer changes

• Appointment — Enita Kaur Kang appointed a director with effect from 31 January 2025; form AP01 filed 3 February 2025 (Companies House filing history).
• Termination — Rufus Radcliffe ceased to be a director on 30 April 2024; form TM01 filed 28 May 2024 (Companies House filing history; also recorded in the 2024 directors’ report).
• Termination — Mark Norman Smith ceased to be a director on 30 April 2023; form TM01 filed 24 May 2023 (Companies House filing history).

Data availability

Officer information for the United Kingdom is full: current and former officers, exact appointment and resignation dates, role, nationality and place of residence are published, and nationality is stated explicitly for every current director rather than inferred. Two limits apply to the historical record. Eleven officers carry no appointment date at all, the register showing only “Appointed before 11 April 1992”, the date from which Companies House holds electronic officer data; and Companies House states that it does not verify the accuracy of information filed with it.

Three defects in the baseline Zavia.ai officer data should be noted rather than repeated. It holds 58 rows against the register’s 68, and the ten missing records include four of the five company-secretary appointments, both corporate directors, one director’s concurrent appointment each for two individuals who served three separate terms, one person’s directorship recorded alongside their secretaryship, and one further director who served from 2000 to 2006. It carries exact appointment dates for ten officers for whom the register publishes none — and four of those stored dates fall after 11 April 1992, which directly contradicts the register’s “appointed before” marker. Finally, the stored records omit the role field, so every officer, including the secretaries, presents as undifferentiated. The register, not the stored extract, is the source used above.

Group structure of ITV Broadcasting Limited

ITV Broadcasting Limited (00955957) is not independent. It is an intermediate company inside the ITV plc group, holding subsidiaries of its own. Its immediate parent has been ITV M&E Holdings Limited (16511823) since 13 August 2025, on the evidence of its own PSC register; that company was itself incorporated only on 11 June 2025. Its ultimate parent company and controlling party is ITV plc (04967001), stated as such in note 30 of its audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024, which also record that ITV plc is the parent of both the largest and the smallest group for which consolidated accounts are prepared.

Note 29 of the same accounts lists 19 subsidiaries held at 31 December 2024, all at 100% of ownership interest and voting rights, together with five associates and one joint venture. Eighteen subsidiaries are incorporated in the United Kingdom and one, Channel Television Limited, in Jersey. The associates are Independent Television News Limited (40%), Digital 3 and 4 Limited (50%), Everyone TV Devices Limited (50%), Everyone TV Limited (25%) and Everyone TV Platforms Limited (25%); the joint venture is Producers Rights Agency Limited (50%). The subsidiary list is what distinguishes this company’s own broadcast perimeter from the rest of the group: ITV2, ITV3, ITV4 and ITV Breakfast are licensed to companies beneath it, not to it.

Recent structural changes

• 28 March 2025 — change of immediate parent. The company’s immediate parent changed from Granada Media Limited (03106798) to Granada Group Limited (00290076). Recorded in notes 30 and 31 of the 2024 accounts and in the PSC02 and PSC07 forms filed on 31 March 2025.
• 13 August 2025 — change of immediate parent. Granada Group Limited ceased and ITV M&E Holdings Limited (16511823) was notified as the registrable holder, on forms PSC07 and PSC02 filed on 14 August 2025. The ultimate parent, ITV plc, did not change.
• 6 July 2026 — agreed sale of the immediate parent, not completed. ITV plc and Sky UK Limited entered a sale and purchase agreement under which Sky agreed to buy the entire issued share capital of ITV M&E Holdings Limited for consideration of up to £1.6 billion. The announcement states that the Channel 3 licences pass to Sky as part of the transaction. Completion is expected in the second half of 2027 and is conditional on regulatory approvals, on separating the ITV M&E business from the ITV group, and on Sky Ventures Limited selling Love Productions Limited to ITV. This is an agreement, not a completed change of control, and ITV plc remains the ultimate parent until it completes.

Data availability

Corporate-linkage information is full in both directions here, which is unusual: the UK PSC register gives the parent with dated notifications, and the company files full audited accounts naming every subsidiary, associate and joint venture with its percentage. The main limits are that the PSC register expresses control in bands rather than exact percentages, and that the subsidiary list is fixed at the 31 December 2024 balance-sheet date.

The baseline Zavia.ai corporate tree should not be relied on for this company. It shows Granada Group Limited as the parent, a position that was correct only between 28 March and 13 August 2025, and it places ITV M&E Holdings Limited elsewhere in the structure rather than directly above this company, contradicting both the PSC register and the stored shareholder row. It lists nine entities beneath this company against the 19 in the filed accounts, and the identifiers in its nodes are provider internal identifiers, not registry numbers. Every registration number in the table above was confirmed by opening the named company’s own Companies House record.
