Freely was designed to show them during this transitional phase as well as providing on demand access, so what’s your point?

Broadcasters have done this voluntarily. If on-demand only was their preferred option, why have they contributed linear channels to Freely? No one's forcing them. Could it be that a large number of people still want to consume content this way.

Broadcasters will do what their audiences prefer or government and regulators mandate. The proliferation of FAST channels when a wide range of streaming services exist show they're not going away anytime soon.
