I think it's fair to say that on-demand channels will probably reduce the number of linear channels over time and that everyone agrees with this.

I've said this on here before , look at ITV for instance who have ITV , ITV 2 , ITV 3 , ITV 4 , ITV Be , ITV Encore plus the many +1 channels.
Over the next 10 years I'd expect that number to decrease to perhaps 3 or 4 with increased use of ITV Hub.
Linear tv is going nowhere however I share the same opinion as you that we may see the number of channels reduce over the coming years.
