A lot of our commentators are effectively freelance and do different things for different channels. Jacqui Oatley used to do a lot of radio for BBC Radio Five Live. These days she’s lead commentator on Sky Sports for the Women’s Premier League. She sometimes covers the men’s Championship (level below EPL) for Quest (a Discovery channel that has the rights). And the she’s also lead darts commentator for ITV!
In truth, if Fox hadn’t got her for the World Cup, she’d have been on ITV to some degree, but wouldn’t have been their lead commentator. Both BBC and ITV cover the World Cup in the UK, splitting matches between them. But both broadcasters will have commentators at each fixture even if only for a highlights show later it the evening. The BBC also has separate radio folk with Talkspprt also having radio rights.
