I was surprised to read that the BBC has only a 10 percent share in Britbox. ITV has 90 percent. No mention of anyone else.

From the viewers point of view, I fail to see how all these payable streaming services are better than the current system where both new and old series are available to watch on channels even in the cheaper bundles. Will the older programmes be pulled from channels such as Drama to go onto Britbox thus forcing the channels to close down?
