Network tv should replace cable at this point. Both are ad-supported and there are plenty of sub channels to just air all the reruns and cheap programming that cable airs. As cable dies, I expect studios to switch to just streaming and OTA.

I'm surprised we haven't seen a major consolidation in cable TV as most channels are owned by like 3 companies that air all the same shit on all their channels. Long gone are the days where a channel actually catered to a niche topic like science or animals. Everything is just reruns or reality shows.

as long as they don't pull that let that ATSC 3.0 bullshit. I fear nothing will be free in the future. Forced ads you can't block or fast forward through, no ability to mute, targeted advertisement and loss of privacy (yes with OTA). ref

The worst part is I'm 100% sure the general public wouldn't give a shit since they get more and better channels with the "upgrade".
