Just how much time do other people have to watch TV ? Have to pick and choose, with out additional channels. Surely at some point , streamers or TV channels ( not just minor ones ) will just die.

Agreed, but cost is a bigger factor imo.

I myself am mostly streaming services now combo of Netflix, HBOMAX, Peacock. I get Appletv+ free until January 2022 i won't be keeping it.
I recently dropped prime too as wasn't using Amazon for shopping imo Amazon has got quite expensive and i wasn't using the tv service much either.

Hi muppetman.
I too am on a £4.99 deal but it expires next month.
I got an e-mail the other day saying another discount will be applied automatically, new price £6.99
Still good value but I'll decide closer to the time if I keep or cancel, depends what is on at the time.
Having said that, Gomorrah is back in November so I may keep it a bit longer

True, but the good material not on Peacock UK is on Sky, isn’t it?

I assume it will be a bit like what IMDB TV is for Amazon Prime - adverts and mostly second run series and older films?

Obviously the streaming model doesn't work in UK - otherwise why spend a lot of money buying BT Sports.
They will acquire the BT rights - particularly Premier League, Champions League and Premiership Rugby.
I seem to recall that Sky have to agree any sale of BT sports rights - anyone confirm this and have sky agreed?

Indeed, if there were any doubt that the prophecies of the imminent demise of linear television were incorrect, this surely puts it to bed.
Far from being easy to pick off rights as values fall and have customers swarm across it now appears to be challenging to the extent it is worth buying one of the incumbents, their customer base and fundamentally in the short to medium term their viable business model.
