Of course they can adapt, but a continuation of scheduled linear channels as now are not the way.

The BBC i-Player, as an example, is good enough for the present, but ultimately, content will be available through a relatively small number of big streamers. Something like Britbox will be where we will find most of our UK programmes in the future.
I fail to see how continuation of scheduled linear broadcasts can be described as "not the way" when since the development of Sky+ in the UK (2002?) and cable "on demand" consumers have had the option of not watching live linear scheduled television yet still they do.
