    If ITV does get the rights that would mean they'd have THREE talent shows.....

    Talk about overkill

    Well there was talk that X Factor could be rested and its contract ends after next year I believe, so they may do just that - depending how the rest of this year's ratings go

    If X Factor is rested and The Voice does well, could be bye bye XF.

    They'd probably do a better job with The Voice might even try to get Tom Jones back on it. I wonder when they'd show it.
    Maybe the slot Dancing on Ice used to be on.

    ITV own it anyway don't they? (Well, the production company who makes it at least.)

    And it's official, BBC has axed the Voice

    The 2016 series will be the last on the BBC, before it moves to ITV from 2017 onwards

    Next year's fifth series of The Voice UK will be its last on the BBC. Statement here:

    The mirror reporting ITV won the bidding war. Next year will be the last on BBC One.

    Gotta admit, I'm nervous about it's switch to ITV. I love The Voice exactly how it's been on BBC, so hopefully it'll be more of the same.

    According to the BBC news it refused to get in to a bidding war with "another bidder" who was not named

    I can already see the tacky OTT ITV production values ruining it tbh.

    That's the worry, seeing the mess Five have made of BB since BB moved there especially the regular series

    It'll be produced by the same company, who ITV already own.

    I doubt it will do any better on ITV - it's been on 5 years, so already has it's audience. I can't see it picking up more viewers when it moved to a commercial rival, I can, however, see it losing a few. If it is ITV, the only place it can go really is as a replacing to the X-Factor, but who knows! Lol

    Worried ITV are going to ruin it by putting too many joke acts etc in front of the coaches etc. I love the way the BBC do it which is pretty much everyone is atleast a good singer

    I don't care which channel it's on, I'd still rather watch a 360-degree rotating image of a dog turd than The Voice.

    ITV make the show for the BBC, Its Cowells production co responsible for the joke acts.

    Whilst it is the same production company, they are working with the values of the commissioning organisation. So whilst the concept will remain the same, the show could be entirely different

    ITV can see the writing on the wall for XF, and have invested in a replacement - not surprised at all.

    Potentially, if the rumours are correct, The Voice with hundreds of adverts. No thanks.

    The only thing that would get me to watch it on ITV is if they got Tom Jones back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Braying audience, third rate presenters, holding out false hopes to gullible amateurs .....
    Isn't ITV its natural home?
