At the moment, linear TV channels still get first run TV rights to TV drama. Amazon and Netflix have been entering into that field for a couple of years now, but it is a small proportion of those going to linear TV channels. Also it is mainly content from US cable channels, not primetime network TV. These still mainly go to linear channels.
Until that changes, linear channels will still have their draw.
