In the future, we will have much more choice, so we will be able to pick out the streaming/VOD services that meet our needs.
This will be much more focussed on what we want, compared to the current situation where you have to pay for a multitude of channels you don't want.
Disney + and other services will cater for the kids, and there will be plenty of services catering for other genres.
Sport is the interesting one, and how this will play out is a matter for speculation.
I don't think Comcast and Liberty Global are the main players to watch, quite honestly!

In all honesty, I would have thought sport was the biggest monespinner for a streamer.
If they can't make it pay then linear channels will be here for a long time - even if it's only for sport.
