HTV profit hike but shares dip amid merger 'denial.'
Article Abstract:
ITV regional broadcasting operation HTV saw pre-tax profits of 12.1 million pounds sterling in 1995, up by 66% from 1994. However, its shares have fallen in value in the wake of rumours that it is a takeover target. This has been denied by the company.
