I have no doubts that linear TV will continue Den, live sport itself dictates that it must continue, but you cannot dispute a lot of the points that OB has made with regards to how ppl watch TV nowadays, and in the future, I hardly know anyone who makes a point of watching, say, Coronation Street or that other wrist slitting dark soap called Eastenders, at the time it's scheduled, lots of ppl use on demand or even record these programs so that they can watch them when they choose, gone are the days of having to be sat in front of your TV screen to watch something at the scheduled time.
I think OB was wrong when he said that linear TV wouldn't be around in 20 years or so, but he has made valid points with regards to on demand and how ppl watch TV, it's definitely changing imo.
