The BBC 3 situation is a case in point for my argument. The BBC are making all of the content anyway, however not getting the reach or the viewers by streaming alone. Why cut their nose off to spite their face to make you happy?
You are being ridiculous, and you know it. My view that the linear channels will disappear by 2035 has nothing to do with their relative success in 2020. The golden era has past, and in the future they will be clinging on for fear of their impending demise.

Are you backtracking on your previous claims, jfman? They are here for all to see on this very thread.
