It is not obvious what will happen in the future, but the evidence for what is happening now is obvious and very clear:

1. Murdoch sold most of his business' because he couldn't compete with trillion dollar tech companies and Netflix.

2. Cord cutting in America shows no sign of abating with people cancelling their traditional pay tv subs eroding the viewing figures for many channels.

3. Netflix's and Amazon's rise shows no sign of abating. Netflix now has 130m subscribers and Amazon has 100m. No traditional pay tv network can compete against that.

I said somewhere at the beginning of this thread or another ages ago, that I do think a core group of channels will survive. But to use the high street analogy again, these channels will ultimately be no more than shop windows into their respective company's streaming services.
