People who want to watch TNT want to watch live sports. No amount of punditry on an app will ever compensate for that. What happens in the future remains to be seen however here today, as we sit, Discovery+ is no substitute for live, linear, TNT Sports.
This is reflected in the value of the rights paid for, and retail price, of top dollar premium content that will be delivered linear on platforms for many, many years to come.

You do appreciate that you can stream live, don’t you, jfman?
Of course you do, so why make this silly comment?

Attempting to argue that the "revolution" will continue exponentially is flawed, an ideology that doesn't really work across the whole market.

Indeed, it has happened. It’s being rolled out and more innovations and content is being added all the time.
It is the phasing out of the old system that we are talking about now.
The technology is not flawed. It is developing all the time and audiences are increasing.

It is a continuing revolution and intelligent audiences a have already been won over. Others lag behind, but they will catch up eventually.
Broadband rollout has been a major problem, but most homes have now finally been connected.
