It's all very well to claim that older people will continue to prefer the TV channels they are used to watching, but commercials aimed at them just don't really hit the spot. Advertisers won't want to pay a fortune to attract pensioners. This is why we will soon see a rapid decline of scheduled TV channels. What is to prevent it?
A lot of your points are covered in the video I posted and how smoe TV channels will survive. I know it is about the situation in the US but it will be replicated over here.
