It's pretty hard to argue linear offers you a better experience.
With the exception of news and Sport we rarely watch live channels , everything is either On Demand or time shifted.

Excepting that the initial release of programming will still be delayed. So while you can access box sets and binge that only happens once the scheduled, linear programme has aired.
Then there is cost - how to pay and how to air something new and get a return on it. How would you release something completely new? Do you try to charge per view, would customers risk the payment in advance? People buy box sets for shows they know they want.
So do we have a Netflix subscription, or Amazon Prime with some content included, some extra or pay per view or purchase in advance. Do we now need adverts in on-demand content and how does that get sold?
