...And in the meantime, the BBC confirms there will be no more linear channels from the Corporation.

Ah, still not changed OB. Still banging on about this. How many years now? We can't be far off your original 10 year ramblings now, can we? When are you now predicting the death of linear TV? Will be interesting to see what happens when a swathe of new content lands on linear TV and streaming services. Lockdown probably skewed the figures somewhat recently, with everyone at home had the choice between crappy day time TV or top quality shows available to watch at any time.
