All I see in the present is setback after setback to your 2035 vision. Broadband won’t be up to it, there’s nobody with “deep pockets” waiting to buy the Premier League rights and millions of viewers continue to watch linear television when it suits them.
The point you seem to be missing is that I have never claimed that anything would change yet, apart from a decline in the number of TV channels launching. This will be followed over the next few years by an overall decline in TV channels - slow at first, but then it will speed up.

The fact that occasionally, linear channels will clock up a decent audience is not surprising, given that the streamers are forcing the terrestrials and Sky to up their game.

And while an exceptional 13 million people watching this one series is a good result, it still doesn't compare to the audiences of 16 million that Coronation Street used to achieve on a regular basis.
