The popularity of linear TV may be present now, as I keep saying, but habits will change over time.
So maybe I'm being a bit thick here, but if the BBC does as you predict and at some point in the future says bugger it and just has iPlayer what will happen for example to new episodes of EastEnders? Will they just add them as and when in some random fashion or to keep viewers happy will they add an episode every Tuesday at 7:30pm? I would wager there will be some sort of expected day/time for new episode releases which then surely makes it a linear channel doesn't it? Or am I missing something
