Investors are worried about extra costs and a long wait before the sale is finished. ITV agreed this week to sell its broadcasting business to Sky for up to £1.6 billion, but analysts and one investor raised concerns about separation expenses, ongoing costs and regulatory review. Shares were about 10% lower by Thursday after first rising 1.2% on Monday.
