News Summary:

On July 23, 2026, major UK broadcasters and production companies, including ITV Studios, publicly backed Action for Freelancers’ (AfF) "Contact: A Guide to Work-Life Boundaries." These guidelines establish seven shared principles to minimize out-of-hours contact for professionals working across scripted and unscripted content, targeting commissioners, production companies, managers, and freelancers. Previously, on July 22, ITV Studios’ Creative Network partnered with Steve Penk to launch "Steve Penk’s Animal Radio FM," a digital-first comedy series that reimagines Penk's classic prank-call comedy for contemporary digital viewers. This followed the company's reinforcement of its global sales division on July 21, with the appointments of Louisa Forsyth as Vice President UK and Ireland Sales and Jonathan Hughes as Vice President Germany and Benelux Sales.
