On what basis do you believe that ‘there will always be a place for scheduled programming’ as we have it now? FAST channels excluded, of course.

While I accept that’s what you might want, I don’t think there’s much evidence within the industry that this is a real possibility.

Clearly, broadcasters could choose to continue providing scheduled TV by channel over IPTV, but why would they? Unless, of course, Ofcom required it, and as an organisation struggling to keep up with progress, that wouldn’t surprise me.
