Streaming platform ITVX registered its biggest New Year’s Day ever at the start of 2024.
New Year’s Day 2024 saw eight million streams across ITVX, according to ITV.
This is a 44% rise compared to last year, representing an increase of 2.5 million streams.
Since launch in December 2022, ITVX has had three billion streams, said ITV.
