Despite some believing that pay tv channels will survive even with a reduction in advertising, I think this has its limits. There are only so many efficiences that you can make without leading to a decline in output.
To my mind, ITV's continuing difficulties tell me that traditional TV has its days numbered.

ITV may be struggling with a drop in Advertisement Revenue but the BBC won't be.
Whilst ads are an income stream for Pay TV channels the subscription money paid to view these channels will keep them going.
I would think those minor channels who pay VM to carry them and are free to air will be the first to go.
