ITV 'poised to take over reunions website'

The sale of Friends Reunited for more than £120m (€177.4m) appeared to move a step closer today after a report said broadcaster ITV was near to a takeover deal.

ITV is thought to have finished examining the company’s books and could sign a binding agreement with the website’s owners as soon as today, with the deal completed by the end of the month, the Daily Telegraph reported.
