Broadcaster ITV today announced it was axing 600 jobs and making other ''significant'' savings aimed at cutting costs.
The company, which has been hit by a fall in advertising, said it planned efficiency savings of £155 million this year, rising to £175 million in 2010 and £245 million in 2011.
Costs will be cut through efficiencies and on network programme and regional news savings.
