The UK government is reviewing a £1.6 billion deal between Sky and ITV to assess its impact on media diversity. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy expressed concerns about potential concentration of media power and reduced news diversity. The Competition and Markets Authority and Ofcom will investigate the deal, with reports due by January 27, 2027. If approved, the merger would create the largest commercial TV group in the UK outside of the BBC, aiming to compete with major streaming platforms. Sky has promised ITV channels will remain free and maintain editorial independence, although job cuts may occur due to overlapping operations.
