ITV is expected to air Sky's original series The Day of the Jackal and Saturday Night Live UK. This development emerged as part of plans prepared by ITV's new parent company. Comcast-owned Sky announced this week that it has acquired ITV's network and streaming unit for £1.6 billion ($2.1 billion). Following this deal, significant changes in ITV's content strategy are anticipated.

Sky is working on various projects to reach a broader audience with ITV's content. In this context, it is planned that not only ITV's current programs but also Sky's original productions will be featured on the platform. This situation could contribute to ITV's goals of increasing viewer numbers and enriching content diversity.

Moreover, this new partnership between Sky and ITV could enable both companies to embark on more innovative and engaging projects in content production. The airing of popular formats like Saturday Night Live UK on ITV could particularly boost viewer interest and enhance the platform's competitiveness. These developments are considered a significant turning point in the UK television market.
