Oh, come off it! The streamers are proliferating everywhere and the pace of change is increasing all the time.

Yes, if it pleases you, you can ignore the fact that there’s no agreement to continue broadcasting from transmitters after 2024 while ignoring all the preparations the broadcasters are making for a digital future; you can ignore the fact that Sky is planning to cease the availability of its Sky Q boxes soon and has no transponder space booked after 2024; you can ignore the fact that the audience grouping loved by advertisers is watching less and less conventional TV Channels; that those TV channels are encouraging people to go online rather than scheduled TV by making more of their originals available online before they appear on the main channels…….

And you can just carry on with your ‘la la la’ antics and complain that anyone who believes as you do must be off their rockers.

Chris is perpetuating the lie that I said linear channels would be gone by 2025. I said 2035, and both you and he know that.

2025 was the date I envisaged that most properties would be connected to broadband, although I was basing that on the government’s plans at the time.
