Programmes can be accessed straight away rather than at a scheduled time and can be seen from the beginning rather than from part of the way through a series. That will lead to the ‘live’ TV, or whatever you want to label it, being switched off, simply because the broadcasters will no longer see the point in its continuation. Only government intervention is likely to change this.

As for the PSB remit, that is being reviewed. Why do you not believe that these things can be changed?
