I used to think that, too, but reading about what industry experts and commentators have been saying, observing what is actually happening and seeing how everything has advanced in recent times, I now question whether any broadcast conventional channels will survive at all.

I thought maybe the BBC and sports channels might survive when first considering what might happen, but with the BBC indicating that they are contemplating the demise of traditional channels 15 years hence, and with streaming issues gradually getting sorted out, I now think they will all go. More and more people will prefer watching on demand to watch what they want, when they want, and more and more people will get fed up wasting their lives watching endless commercials.
