It's the same with them dropping Channel 3 too. The Netflix BARB figures show as much as streaming is growing it's still some way off linear ratings for individual programmes at least, and even if they were able to retain channel 6 on Freeview and could move the channel there it isn't a certainty viewers would follow them considering some seem to struggle to switch from BBC1 to BBC2.
It is an interesting "what if" though that if it did happen and either C4, Paramount, Sky, Discovery or UKTV were to find themselves running the Channel 3 licence (outside of Scotland anyway) how they might fill that schedule. With some difficulty is probably the answer assuming ITV keep their biggest shows for themselves.
