Like the BBC Plans

[The BBC has already announced plans to
make its CBBC channel online-only,
although the preschool CBeebies remains
safe for now.]

[ITV is shutting down its CITV channel
and shifting most of its children’s programmes
to streaming-only, arguing that young
people have largely given up on watching
scheduled television.

CITV will disappear as a standalone
channel in the autumn, with all children’s
content shifting to the streaming platform ITVX.
The broadcaster said the channel
was unprofitable and children’s TV audiences
had collapsed in recent years because of a shift
to YouTube and other streaming services.]

Sadly the reason why people in general are going to the Streamers is because scheduled TV (or classic TV as I like to call it) has too many Adverts that breaks up the flow of an episode, plus the quality of certain Shows not being very good.

Tbh a similar thing will hurt the Streamers eventually, most of the Shows that I've seen from them over the last few years have been dire, and I know that I'm not alone in that viewpoint.
