UTV’s ad revenue rises by 15% in Q3

UTV Media has reported a 15% year-on-year increase in third-quarter advertising revenue for its television operations here.

The company last week announced plans to launch a television channel in the Republic within two years.

While ad revenue for its Irish television arm declined by 1% over the first nine months of the year, the Belfast-based media group still expects to see a 10% year-on-year increase for the fourth quarter.
