See: Line of Duty ratings.

Since Sky launched Sky+, NTL and Telewest launched catch up there’s been no real need for a significant proportion of households to ever watch BBC content as broadcast. Now with Smart TVs, various Freesat/Freeview play devices.

Yet they do.

Now I wouldn’t pretend for a minute these people don’t also stream. None of the rest of us view this as dogmatically as you do, much like most viewers.

Everyone expects fewer broadcast channels in the future especially as conglomerates consolidate. It’s a long journey to zero. And with every closure someone else moves up the EPG into a more prominent position.
