[Richard] Huntingford believes that one of the moves could come from the new ITV plc. “ITV will be looking at a growth phase, so a big radio acquisition would certainly be an option for them.”
Could be interesting if this came to pass. Integrated radio news services with the regional TV news?
Sounds like they could be thinking of making an offer to EMAP to me... they'd certainly have the power behind them, as they are now [as ITV plc] one of the UK's largest media groups.
