And, from the link highlighted in the very phrase ‘little or no interest in maintaining terrestrial TV’ beyond 2035 are these delightful nuggets of fact:

1. Ofcom believes 27% of homes will still rely exclusively on DTT in 2040 (i.e. 16 years from now)
2. Ofcom has proposed 3 ways of ensuring the viability of free-to-air TV, two of which involve not switching off DTT at all, but rather making it more streamlined.
3. The third option, switching off over-the-air broadcasts entirely, could occur ‘at some future date’ (i.e., unspecified) and only at the end of a transition process has yet to be designed or agreed, and which Ofcom believes would require 8 to 10 years.

If you think any of the above in any way supports your fantasies about broadcast TV being turned off in the foreseeable future, please let me know who your dealer is because you’re smoking some primo junk.
I didn’t write the article, Chris.

And since you like to rubbish alternative views by discrediting whole articles just because of the source of the piece rather than address the points made, can I just point out that it was Ofcom who judged the Project Kangaroo should not go ahead, so forgive me if I say I don’t rate your source of information either.
