CABLE operator NTL said today that it had abandoned its £4.7 billion bid for ITV.
The company announced it had "no present intention" of making an offer for the broadcaster and said it was unlikely to strike a deal "on terms acceptable to NTL".

ITV had already said there was "little, if any, strategic logic" for a tie-up with NTL.

The cable company's decision came after BSkyB bought a 17.9 per cent stake in ITV.
