If you don’t watch it at 9pm on Wednesday you can use your PVR, or catch up stream if it exists … what’s important is that the TV station organises a broadcast schedule. It doesn’t matter how it’s broadcast - the BBC One IP stream accessed via iPlayer is still a linear TV channel, showing the news, then the One Show, followed by ‘Enders and whatever else, and even though you can select stuff on demand from the same app.
The two key questions this and similar threads have tried to address over the years are:
1. Will traditional broadcast over satellite and terrestrial eventually be shut down in favour of exclusively IP delivery?
2. Will IP delivered content be scheduled, on demand, or a mixture of both?
