Your reality is different from actual reality, jfman. All the media press is wrong and you are right. That is a given in your perverse world.

A decent debate on these issues would be good on a forum of this nature rather than pathetic attempts at ridicule because you are losing the argument. I accept you are not the only one, since there are a number of posters who love channel numbers and don't want change, but you have been particularly argumentative - not only on this subject, but on a whole range of subjects.

Let's have a sensible debate instead of these interminable put-downs and sour remarks.

Even you have had to admit that the number of viewing hours on the streaming services is starting to outstrip viewing on traditional channels. The main difference in the argument now is where this is all going to end, and in particular, the survivability of the broadcast linear channels.

I do not subscribe to your view that these channels will keep going regardless of the number of viewers. Why would they bother? Once the need for any service drops to below a certain level, it ceases to be provided. It happened with VHS tapes, with Amazon Fire Phones, with Izal toilet paper....
