Shares in ITV surged on Monday following a report over the weekend that potential suitors have begun circling the broadcaster again after a prolonged period of share price weakness and renewed questions about its long-term strategic destiny.
According to Sky News, a number of possible bidders for parts or all of the company, whose biggest shows include Love Island, have in recent weeks held early-stage discussions about teaming up to pursue a potential transaction.
TV industry sources told Sky that CVC Capital Partners and a major European broadcaster - thought to be France's Groupe TF1 - were among those which had been starting to study the merits of a potential offer.
Hochschild Mining led the fallers, down 3.3%.
