I gave the the example of ESPN a week or so ago, as a very clear example.

People will not pay for both a linear ESPN service and streamer. One will live, the other will not. Place your bets which will be which.

BUt Sky's films channels are another good example. Sky now has the enormous Universal film library to feed on, but if the other studios withdraw their content from Sky, that not only puts the film channels at risk, but the entire linear tv satellite service.
