I acknowledge that my assessment of the future may not be 100% correct, obviously. I have pointed out before that I’m not Nostradamus! But surely nobody can disregard the growing acceptance of streaming at the expense of linear TV. I am just stating the obvious (ie that linear channels are losing advertising revenue and new originals to streamers, which will ultimately have consequences).

People just want to watch tv reliably. Streaming has so many things that can go wrong, which means no, or buffering tv. . Ok as an additional on demand content. Live terrestial tv and hard drive recordings are far more reliable. Can't see that changing in our lifetime's OB. I suspect we'll see people on Mars first, and they'll use hard drive recordings for tv entertainment and won't be relying on streaming dodgy interweb from mother Earth.
