I don't know how you explain ITV's troubles just a few years ago when advertising income went down and threatened its very future, in that case. The financial position of many of these channels is precarious to say the least, and as advertising income drops with falling audience levels, so we will see more TV channels go to the wall.

This is not something I want, Den (although paying for these relatively expensive pay TV packages is getting harder to justify, and streaming channels are so much cheaper and with more good content), it's just economics.

Unless TV channels can find other means of keeping afloat, then inevitably they will sink. ITV is now looking to reduce its reliance on advertising by increasing the number of new productions and by establishing a new streaming service, but they may have left it too late.
