The linear channels being broadcast were the ones I was referring to, as you well know, as I've said this repeatedly. In other words, the existing terrestrials and pay tv channels, the content for which would be carried by streamers. So, for example, ITV, ITV 2, ITV 3, etc would be brought together as ITVX and eventually indexed by category. They will sit alongside each other for some years before the broadcast channels disappear at some stage in the future.

FAST channels such as those you find on Pluto might proliferate for a while, although whether they will stay the course in the VOD world is hard to judge. I've yet to meet anyone who has heard of Pluto TV so FAST channels will probably remain a minority interest. They will never be great money-spinners, in my view.

I get it that some on here disagree, but that's how I see it. If you believe the growth of the streamers at the expense of the broadcast TV channels will slow down and stop, that's fine by me! Only time will tell who is right, but let's stop arguing about it.
