The features you list aren't unique to ITV X. They were also present in its predecessor, ITV Hub.

Yeah, wasn't comparing ITV Extra to ITV Hub, more why investing in it is important for ITV and adding to the point you had addressed with some others points that ITV Extra also addresses.

Sky is a solid company and part of a successful American cable and film company so it will be around for some time. However, it is unique in both being a content producer and an infrastructure operator, which goes against the current fashion.
I don't see any company out there willing to take a significant amount of its sports content from Sky Sports. If Sky Sports drops any content, it will likely be because it does not want it badly.
Its closest competitor in this area is now Warner Bros Discovery/BT Sport. Co-owner WBD is financially stretched and in cost-cutting mode.
With regard to the other sports broadcasters:
- ViaPlay is an unknown but has entered the UK on a modest scale.
- DAZN is focused on boxing having being unsuccessful in other bidding rights.
- Amazon is not out to be a large sports player and is quitting tennis
