It does beg the question as to why the channels are encouraging people to use the streamers by ensuring that all episodes of a new series can be seen before the whole series has been shown on the TV channels. They are all at it, with ITV even withholding new originals from their main channel, until a certain amount of time has passed when it has been exclusive to ITVX.

There is a definite push towards streaming, and those who doubt what I’ve been saying about where all this is leading need to address the alternative reason for this blatant encouragement, because it certainly eludes me.
