Why this matters

The potential acquisition of ITV Studios by Banijay, following Banijay's own significant merger with All3Media, signals a major consolidation trend in the global television production and distribution industry. This move, if it occurs, would reshape the competitive landscape and could be driven by the need for scale to compete with larger media conglomerates.
