Maybe we should start keeping a tally of the number of TV channels currently broadcasting. I think they may have started to reduce in number now, much as I predicted five years ago.

Or is that just my imagination?
They do seem to be reducing. There's various reasons being given, such as Covid fallout, licensing issues due to Brexit and competition from streaming services.

Freesat & Freeview intend to merge operations & in certain circumstance allow streaming channels onto the EPG.

Talking Pictures could be on the way out too:
