I don’t discount that they may offer a scheduled service at the time the changeover commences (ie the switch off of transmitter-broadcast TV) as a means of assisting the transition, but it is more likely, in my view, that they will grasp the opportunity to go for on demand only unless forced to do otherwise by the government.

Well, I haven’t met anyone who has heard of FAST channels or know what I am talking about when I mention Pluto TV.

Yes, I’m sure that some people will watch FAST channels, particularly if they don’t subscribe to a streamer, and as long as the owners of the FAST channels make enough money from advertising, they will continue to operate. I guess they wouldn’t need that many people to view to make it worthwhile.

I don’t think the bigger broadcasters will see it that way, though.

None of us will know until it happens. I’m just expressing a point of view - one that I have held for early 10 years now. I accept that others may disagree.
