Comcast's Sky deal with ITV might lead to some job duplications, ITV Chief Executive Carolyn McCall says in a call. Any job cuts would mainly affect overlapping areas such as marketing departments, technology platforms, and non-U.K. content, she says. "I think no one ever gets any guarantees on anything in terms of jobs but I think there are as many opportunities with Sky." However, potential changes will take time as the deal is set to undergo a lengthy regulatory process, she says. "They've made it very clear that actually these savings will happen at the end of three years," she says. ITV shares are up 1.7% at 83.15 pence. (najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
