More straw men.
According to you, Netflix's economic model is unsustainable.

I'm not really sure why you find those two comments/questions pertinent.

Still, let me try to answer this. First, the deal to purchase UKTV, I presume, is so that the Beeb can close these channels and transfer the content to Britbox.

Secondly, Comcast buying Sky makes perfect sense, but don't assume that means the Sky scheduled channels will survive for the long term. Sky will become an IPTV service over time and the satellite linear channels as we know them today will disappear.

But we both know that according to your posts, nothing will change and the tide will never come in.

Good luck with that theory.
