Re: The future of television
Satellite TV is safe for a few more years.
https://rxtvinfo.com/2022/sky-commit...ing-until-2028
[EXTRACT]
Despite the recent launch of new internet-based TV services, Sky has committed to continue broadcasting services via satellite for several more years to come.
According to satellite operator SES, Sky has once again extended contracts to use a number of its satellite transponders. New agreements now run until the end of 2028. This builds on a separate contract between Sky and SES that was extended last year.

Re: The future of television
I hope all the decent stuff doesn't end up on a premium subscription channel like Di$ney has don to NCIS and The Orville.

That seems to be the direction its going: Studio-based streaming services and away from the more cost-effective aggregation by Sky and VM.
The biggest test will be whether Warner Bros Discover renews its licence to Sky for entertainment content or launches these on its streaming service instead.

that might be for the better though. If the quality stuff is whittled out and selected to go on streaming services you can pay less (e.g. £10/month) for a streaming service with content that you know you want to watch rather than paying £50/month for Sky where you don't watch 99.9% of the stuff.

It's not whittled out by quality, it's whittled out by who owns it be it Paramount, Disney, Warner Bros Discovery etc.
If you and your family only liked content from one studio, that studio's streaming service may well suit you. But I think that's the exception rather than the rule.

Netflix is looking at launching live streaming for the first time.
The streamer is said to be in the initial stages of development of the capability. Entertainment journal Deadline said its introduction would allow viewer votes on talent contests such as the upcoming Dance 100 (pictured) or reunion shows on the reality-based Selling Sunset
As Netflix faces it much-publicised subscriber erosion and the loss of acquired content back to the broadcasters now running their own streaming services, there is a need to search for new original content, particularly when it faces competition from streamers and networks alike.

Re: Freeview changes
BBC to axe BBC4, CBBC and BBC Radio 4 Extra on Freeview.
-CBeebies HD can now stay on Freeview - using CBBC HD slot.
-Will BBC 4 and CBBC closing mean all BBC Radio channels can still broadcast on Freeview when BBC ALBA is on air?

The TV channels will only close “after the next few years" from that link.

So, based on the link you eventually provided, what you have said here is extremely misleading.
First of all, what has been reported is an aspiration, at some point in the future, to close BBC4 and CBBC as broadcast channels and operate them as streaming-only brands, much the same as they did at BBC3 until earlier this year. I’d say the fact they were forced to reverse that streaming-only venture with BBC3 because they lost so many viewers tells us something about how many years off this is still likely to be.
Second, this isn’t about Freeview; if/when they eventually do it it will mean the end of all broadcast of BBC4 and CBBC, i.e. Freesat, Sky, Virgin and even the broadcast stream via iPlayer.
But apart from all that, yeah …
