You keep saying this but they can and they do because Channel 4 isn't E4. It isn't, and never has been, a channel exclusively for young people. Grand Designs is great but I don't think ''omg did you see Grand Designs last night?'' was ever a hot topic among 16yr olds. ''Young people do not watch linear anymore'' is lazy and nonsensical. Young people watched The Traitors, I'm A Celeb is still popular with younger audiences as is Bake Off. If a show is compelling enough it will find it's audience regardless of changing view habits.
