It simply lacks any tension and failed to hold my attention, unlike GBBO, which is streets ahead of it. Failing that, they could always go in for more sports rights with other broadcasters (6 nations deal) or they could just have a specific film channel (similar to C4 and Film4.)
Speaking of C4, it's interesting how C4 is not mentioned in the article. I wonder if their viewing figures and finances are strong?
EDIT:
Oh, I timeshift just about everything. Not much is live, although I often hold off watching the start of a recorded live program for 20-30 mins just so I can skip the ad's and still watch the end the same time as everyone else.

I guess we will just have to watch this space. I'm sure we will come back to this in another 10 years to see how things are going!

As you well aware OB, I think things will be much the same in ten years.
If they are not, people will simply be paying considerably more money to lots of different companies, just to watch the same content we currently do now. Also, businesses will be forcing adverts on us we can't skip via the streaming sites.
Be careful what you wish for OB, it might just happen.
