Which cannot be said of linear channels closing. There are clear losers in this scenario, and no winners.
I think you completely misunderstand my position on this (not for the first time!).

I don’t oppose maintaining a linear presence. I just don’t think it will happen as it doesn’t make economic sense, given the alternatives.

It does depend on broadband being completely rolled out first of course, and any U-turns by this or subsequent governments. Abolition of the licence fee in favour of subscriptions cannot happen while broadcast TV over the airways continues to exist.
