Total advertising revenues were up just 2 percent to \u00a31.3 billion ($1.7 billion), with online revenues up 43 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cITV\u2019s performance in the first nine months of the year was very much as we expected,&#8221; said Chief Executive Carolyn McCall. &#8220;Our strong on-screen and online viewing performance has continued with ITV total viewing, which measures our viewing across the ITV Family and the ITV Hub, up 5 percent, driven by a 4-percent increase in total minutes viewed across the ITV Family and a 37-percent increase in the time spent viewing online on the ITV Hub. This supports our confidence in the robustness of the ITV integrated producer broadcaster model and also reflects the strength and breadth of our content.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the full year, McCall said that ITV Studios is projected to record a 3-percent increase in revenues, while ad revenues are expected to be flat. In Q4, &#8220;we expect total advertising to be down around 3 percent,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe are very focused on executing our strategy to create a stronger, structurally sound business, building on our strong operating performance in the areas of the business which are under our control.
