l think you both know what l am talking about.
Well, quite obviously, linear broadcasting is not yet dead, Denphone, and in the short term it may even grow. I have never said otherwise.

However, fast forward a couple of decades and the landscape will be completely changed.

I have given my reasons for believing this, but you have not articulated your reasons for thinking otherwise. How do you think commercial channels in their existing form can survive when audiences reduce substantially, as they will?

You may or may not eventually change the way you watch TV, but the majority will in due course. When the tipping point comes, your traditional TV stations will start going off-air.

I guess time alone will eventually convince you that things are set to change.
