BBC Studios Acquires ITV's BritBox International Stake for $322 Million

BBC Studios has acquired ITV's 50% share in BritBox International for $322M, making it the biggest single transaction for the BBC's commercial wing. The deal values BritBox International at over £500M and will see the streamer join BBC Studios Global Media & Streaming division. BritBox UK, in which ITV owns 100% of the shares, is unaffected. The acquisition aims to double the size of BBC Studios' business and will not impact commissioning plans for BritBox International.
