It also would include a payout dependent on the ITV unit\u2019s performance of about \u00a3200 million ($264 million), per the outlet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Shares of ITV climbed 2.8% on Thursday morning, while Sky owner Comcast\u2019s stock popped 1.13%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/industry-news\/deals-ma\/comcast-sky-itv-media-entertainment-unit-acquisition-terms-reached\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Comcast\u2019s Sky Reaches Terms to Acquire ITV\u2019s Media &amp; Entertainment Unit for $2 Billion | Report;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Comcast\u2019s Sky Reaches Terms to Acquire ITV\u2019s Media &amp;amp&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Comcast\u2019s Sky Reaches Terms to Acquire ITV\u2019s Media &amp; Entertainment Unit for $2 Billion | Report<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:TheWrap;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;TheWrap&quot;}\" class=\"link \">TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comcast\u2019s Sky has agreed on terms to acquire ITV\u2019s media and entertainment unit for \u00a31.6 billion ($2.1 billion).
