Quite the imagination MB.

I suspect that they'll run the channels as they are short-mid term, no changes to remit, then slowly close a few channels (especially the +1s) and encourage viewers to find that content on their streaming services, leaving maybe a fifth of those channels remaining to cater for those who won't or can't use their streaming services or for which the content needs broadcast reliability e.g. sport. But that's a way down the road.

I've never understood the point of DMAX, it never seemed to have a point given the rest of the Discovery portfolio, Pay and FTA.
