Re: The future of television
Further evidence that the TV channels arenot going to survive for much longer.

Some will try to deny it, Canute-like, but the reality is becoming difficult to ignore.

Some channels will close, others will have IP channels and streaming in a transitional period before going streaming only.

[EXTRACT]

Broadcasters can save money by ditching traditional means of distributing their channels. Switching to IP-only pushes some of the cost of distributing content to internet service providers and indeed the consumer. It also allows broadcasters to put channels behind a registration wall, so they can commercially monetise user information.

While big channels like BBC One and ITV1 can still command large audiences via traditional platforms, the shift to streaming is already disproportionately affecting smaller and niche channels.
