Even if it does get axed it'll be around forever. Look how much Friends is still being repeated over a decade after it ended.

People are being a bit thick here. This is the sort of thing companies do when they're welcoming people from other organisations, whether it be to pitch a service or negotiate something.

A complete non-story.

Exactly. TV Tonight reported recently on how Nine won the rights to screen Gallipoli over ABC - they decorated the foyee, had soldiers in period dress guide the producers to the board room which had been decked out accordingly, down to what the execs were wearing.

Is Family Guy still a hot property commercially? It seems so odd considering even Seth MacFarlane speaks openly about how he thinks the series should have died years ago. Hell I used to buy every DVD they ever released of the show until i started listening to the episode audio commentaries on later releases and even the creators of the show had clearly had enough of it. If you fancy a laugh, listen to the audio commentary for the final Star Wars DVD special they did. They clearly had no interest in making it whatsoever, quite the opposite in fact. It's amusing to listen to anecdotes about why such shows were made, only for half way through for the audio to fade out in a 'We've cut this for legal reasons' type way.

The original tweeter has now protected his account, possibly due to fall out from ITV bosses for sharing in-workplace info.

Also due to his lack of ability to use capital letters I'd say ITV Saturday Night is a good place for him to stay and focus his efforts rather than making wild speculations about his employers' ambitions!

Could it have been for a renewal of Fox movies rights perhaps?

That's unfair. If they're going to plaster it on a lift where hundreds of workers and guests pass through then what do they expect?
If they wanted to keep it a secret when what the hell are they doing it putting the information on a lift.

Even so, it's still within private property, and therefore not necessarily 'fair game' to be splashed all over the internet. It's hardly a breach of national security, but it could well be seen as disclosing commercial information, though it is an example of (IMHO silly annoying) 'internal branding' that many large companies engage in now .

Given that the lifts can be seen by the public on the street and they always feature images of shows that ITV actually hold the rights to I hope this guy won't get punished for acknowledging such an idiotic display of corporate gash.

The problem is, that lift has been photographed many times and posted on Twitter, usually by the celebrity who is plastered all over it. If they discipline one guy for taking a snap of it, surely they would have to look at everyone?
