No adverts, undoubtedly appealing to anyone who watches television, has been debunked. Quick movement of "streamers" into the top tier of sports rights has not came to pass.

What nonsense you do talk! Every premium streamer has an ad-free option, which was my point back then. You could watch content free of ads, a position that remains true now, and I think always will be. I will not be proven wrong, and you cannot prove otherwise, so let’s wait and see.

Nor would a content owner have additional rights costs in broadcasting both.

Not at all your favourite ‘straw man’ scenario. Your argument is based on viewer preferences, whereas I am saying that the broadcasters, not the viewers, will determine the position.

You forgot NOW. Yes, I am aware of them of course, but these are not typical streamers, and when Sky switch off their ‘linear’ channels, this will cease to be an issue.

Now you are just being silly. One of the reasons put forward by the Beeb for BBC3 to go ‘online only’ was cost, do you not remember that?

That’s not one of your most intelligent answers to a response I have made to one of your idiotic questions, jfman. Clearly you have no answer, have you?

I know (at least according to your posts) that you use a number of streamers, which makes your hysterical responses even more perplexing. Clearly you understand the value of using streamers, but you steadfastly assert that people prefer TV channels and they would be somehow deprived without them! Priceless!

I note your concern.
