ITV, a leading commercial broadcaster in the UK, has extended its partnership with Fonix, continuing a long-standing relationship focused on delivering mobile interactive services across ITV’s portfolio of programmes since 2017.
Under the extended agreement, Fonix will continue to power mobile carrier billing across ITV’s competition portfolio, while supporting SMS payments and interactive services across a range of flagship programmes, including I’m a Celebrity Get me out of Here, Love Island, Britain’s Got Talent, Good Morning Britain, This Morning and ITV Sport.
Leveraging its Campaign Manager platform, Fonix provides secure, scalable SMS engagement infrastructure alongside real-time data insights, helping ITV enhance audience participation and deliver more dynamic, engaging viewer experiences.
Peter Mossman, Director of Production and Strategic Delivery at ITV, says: “Our partnership with Fonix has played an important role in shaping our interactive services. As audience behaviours continue to shift, it’s vital that we work with partners who can combine reliability with innovation. Fonix brings both, and we’re excited to continue building on what we’ve achieved together.”
Rob Weisz, CEO of Fonix, adds: “Extending our work with ITV reflects the strength of the relationship we’ve built together, as well as a shared ambition to keep improving the viewer experience. Interactivity continues to play a key role in broadcast, and we’re proud to provide the technology and insight that helps ITV engage audiences at scale.”
Fonix delivers similar DCB and PSMS-powered services to a range of media companies and NGOs in the UK and Ireland, including Bauer Media, RTÉ, Global, Comic Relief and BBC Children in Need.
