As I said originally, there is no reason why an option to view free of charge (or at a lower cost) without adverts cannot be made available alongside the existing service.
But I thought it was the high quality content, not available on linear television, you were after?

If (or rather, when) they all do it the consumer will not have a choice. No-one will be able to develop the breadth of content on offer without that money. Advertisers need to push their products, and in different ways, streaming will not be immune to it.

It’ll start subtle - a brief advert before your programme - before it ramps up.
