True. We get power cuts too but does that make electricity an untenable option to power our appliances?

And of course the reason they turned to streaming during lockdown was because there was so little of much interest to watch on ‘normal’ TV.
You didn’t make that link, did you?
The change in consumer behaviour will come because streaming is the method the broadcasters will use. If scheduled TV no longer exists, it can’t be accessed, can it?

It’s not an either/or, it’s "here’s a choice if you don’t want a dish".

Every news media company is biased, even the BBC, sad to say. It doesn’t make all their content untrue, however.
Feel free to post your links with a different bias if you wish.
