Why?
Considering that ITV Studios is doing very well while the ITV's broadcasting assets is suffering from falling advertising revenue they should go in the partnership with Sky by merging ITV Studios with Sky Vision to create a one production company. That would be a future prelude for ITV being brought out by the foreign company. The new ITV owner could then sell off the stake in the production company to Sky (soon to be taken over by Fox).
Why?

Way too many 'if's' to contemplate here.
but the main one - who is 'the foreign company' you talk about?
You already think the takeover of Sky by Fox is a cert (I have my doubts) but then say once that's done, ITV will be part of some fantasy playground marble exchange game.
Go away, it's way past your bedtime..

I would love Challenge to commission a revival of Supermarket Sweep. My idea choice of host would be Kevin Duala from Blue's Clues who use to be Challenge's continuity presenter.

Personally, No. Here's why:
1) If ITV Studios is very successful, no business will spin off their one successful business to a rival organization unless the company is closing down (while ad revenues have fallen, ITV is not in administration and especially has not reached the path Setanta Sports ultimately did )
2) The Fox bid to take over the remaining part of Sky is still in question at this stage (the recent lawsuits and negative press revolving Fox News Channel is not helping their case) and ITV should not concern themselves with Sky or anyone else. Their immediate priority is to make the best product possible to allow ITV Studios' future successes down the line.
3) Given that the BBC 's charter is up soon and Channel 4 may or may not leave London, should viewers really need another broadcaster at risk right now?
4) "That would be a future prelude for ITV being brought out by the foreign company" Is this quote a suggestion that Murdoch and company have another channel in their hands? What would that do to the regional stations that have already been shrunk down and /or streamlined for locally produced programmes? Where would that leave national programmes made for other broadcasters? What good would an ITV / Sky production merger do at any level that would benefit the viewers of the respective networks?

An individual who makes (mostly) silly and pointless suggestions about programmes/revivials, programme formats and often the worst type of presenter for said programmes. Used to be spotted on the Challenge Facebook page but suspect presence on TV sites such as this one under various handles. Probably slightly less irritating than "20 minute musical interval man" on YouTube...
