ITV broadcasters Granada and Carlton Communications said today their jointly-owned ITV Digital business needed urgent action to secure its future.
The pair said in a statement to the Stock Exchange that a "fundamental restructuring of ITV Digital's cost base must be concluded as a matter of urgency in order to secure the long term future of the business".
The comments come hot on the heels of the two groups' announcement this morning that they have started and ended talks to merge.
