[QUOTE=OLD BOY;36007029]Maybe you should expand on that argument, particularly given that this mantra of yours contradicts what the industry itself believes will happen.
In fact, I've been using the economic arguments for some time to add to my case that the streamers will take over from the scheduled channels.

I agree content costs money, the rest of it is too small to be relevant. ITV, and others can and will maintain a presence even when they are primarily streaming.
I don't know why you ask "can't you see?" the answer is emphatically no. Because your argument has no sound basis in economics.[/QUOTE]
So it is economic to run channels at a loss? Was it the LSE you went to, jfman, or was it the Diane Abbot School of Economics?

You haven't demonstrated that it won't be viable for major content owners - who will be streaming - to maintain a linear presence.
Channels are viable with small tens of thousands of viewers such is the low cost of broadcast television.
