Well of course it is. It's all content and linear is only short term due to the way it works.
Also, remember The Warner Channel that never appeared despite being shown temporarily in the listings? Or the UKTV channels that were taken off Virgin when a deal couldn't be done?
You are creating differences that aren't there to make a point that doesn't exist.

Incidentally I certainly don’t agree with providers taking off programmes mid-series, although cancelling future series is not a new phenomenon that started with the streamers.
