Linear TV is far from dead. I know the emphasis and hype is on 'digital' but the majority of the population still watch linear TV. The last 5 weeks in particular have been a triumph for traditional TV.
I don't think Talk TV will be going anywhere soon. I would have thought ditching Piers will extend its life if anything, a massive cost saving depending on his pay off. I saw the clip of them announcing the news about the King on Monday and thought how slick and professional it looked, there's been a lot of investment. They won't suddenly write that off
If it does cease then the interesting thing will be what local TV does. Though I wild have thought that if it regresses back to its radio roots there will still be a video version.
