I think the first casualties in the pay tv world will be in the kids tv channels. Why would kids bother watching the cartoon network showing cartoons they might not like when they can select exactly what they want on Netflix?
what i find astonishing is the BBC didnt axe the kids channels and bbc 4 but went for bbc 3 instead.

kids tv shows could be put on iplayer for parents to monitor and choose for their kids. since "little sammy" would just sit in front of the tv anyway. bbc 4 is pretty much bbc 2. Put kids tv "live" shows on bbc 2 from 3-5.15. All the remaining bbc 4 shows on bbc 2 since theyre fairly identical anyway.

BBC 3 is watched by the next generation of license fee payers. Youve taken away their chanel and p*ssed them off by keeping bbc2 and bbc4 aka the same channels and same age group.

it was such a bad decision!
