Or 'facts' as they're commonly known.

Steaming linear content is not the same as video on demand because linear content is scheduled and so is no more on demand than tuning to BBC 1 or ITV.

Except that a steamed version of BBC One or ITV is no different than a broadcast version other than being more expensive for the company to operate and so there's no reason why either broadcaster would make that platform shift.
