ITV broadcasts rise in revenues thanks to continued success of its production arm and jump in income from ads

The continued success of its production arm and a bump in advertising revenue helped ITV to report rising revenues.
Income from adverts was up 11 per cent in the third quarter thanks in part to a comparison with last year, when the BBC's dominance of the Olympics deterred advertisers.
ITV expects advertising revenue to finish the year 2 per cent higher, which it said was in line with the broader television market.

The broadcaster's production arm, ITV Studios, delivered an 11 per cent rise in sales to Ј555million in the first nine months.
The increase is a boost to chief executive Adam Crozier's efforts to reduce reliance on companies' dwindling television advertising budgets.
