It stills needs to be paid for, whether is linear schedule with commercials, subscription with/without commercials and/or product placement, or goverement via taxes somoen needs to pick up the bill.
But for how much longer will people be content with viewing via broadcast channels? That is really the question. Unless the broadcasters can find a way of adjusting their working models and still make a profit, their days are numbered.

People won't watch OD either if they cannot escape the constant stream of commercials.
