I was not the one who said that conventional viewing would have to get to near zero before existing channels were scrapped. Advertising revenue just has to fall to a level that doesn't make it worthwhile.
And where does that threshold lie OB?

The car, despite huge popularity, convenience and relative affordability does not have 100% share of journey made. Streamers, despite huge popularity, convenience and affordability have similar issues reaching 100% market share.

Consider the railways - despite a loss being made on almost every single journey it still gets state subsidy to provide a service in the public interest to those who shun the popularity, convenience and affordability of the car.

You've made an amazing comparison here OB. For once.

The bad news is it reaches the opposite conclusion from the one you were pushing for.
