I think as the younger generation matures and sets the pace, things will start to change rapidly. We are only tied to linear channels through old habits dying hard. It really is an inefficient, time wasting means of accessing your programmes, with plenty of dross between the programmes that you really want to watch.

Why go through all those channels to see which one carries the programme you are looking for? Why not just go straight to the programme? What actually is the case for linear TV channels bearing in mind the alternatives that are now available?

Live programmes are still capable of being accessible at the time of the event through streaming, and so I really don't see the point. Can someone enlighten me please, as I must be missing something.
