The point is people in the USA a place OB has mentioned before because of its cord cutting are actually cancelling cable/satellite only to signup for services such as DirecTV Now , Sling TV , Hulu Live TV , PlayStation Vue , Google TV. Basically services that still provide live linear TV delivered over your home broadband connection rather than satellite or cable.
The number of linear channels will decrease as more and more continue to watch shows via On Demand but it certainly won't die off completely plenty still watch Sport, News , Entertainment shows like I'm a Celebrity using the linear TV channels.
