LONDON, June 4 (Reuters) – The chief executive of ITV ​said that ‌the British broadcaster was still “very much actively engaged” in a ‌deal ​to sell ⁠its media and ⁠entertainment division to Comcast’s Sky.

“We are very much actively ​engaged in discussions,” CEO Carolyn ⁠McCall told ⁠the Enders ​TMT Leaders Live conference ​on Thursday.

She said she ‌could not say more about the possible deal, ⁠first announced in November and which would value ⁠the ‌business at £1.6 ⁠billion ($2.15 billion), ​because ‌ITV is a ​listed company.

($1 = ⁠0.7440 pounds)
