Linear = conventional channels in this sense. That is how the media was referring to them at the time, and some still are.

Linear will still be important for live broadcasts, but they will be streamed. Everything pre-recorded will end up on demand only.

I dare say there might still be some niche streamers like Pluto offering linear channels as well, but they will only appeal to a minority.
