Re: The future for linear TV channels
They do. They also start having kids of their own, and then realise that a pre-schooler doesn't need favourites, reminders or box sets. To the extent that young kids should be sat in front of a TV at all, a simple, linear schedule broadcast, for example, by the CBeebies channel, is more than adequate. Better, in fact, than a Netflix-like service, because the BBC's kids schedules are constructed with an eye on achieving a balance between crazy entertainment and useful knowledge and personal development.
