I think just the opposite will happen.
People will continue to pay for the premium stations. However the other 400 channels they shove down your throat in those packages that no one wants to watch will eventually dissipate
PBS is an awesome station.
Change or die
Challenge with that is some shows that have production costs will never be made. Think of the Battlestar Galatica series in the 2000's, and probably a lot of other sci-fi
I do agree there a lot of stationing that should just go out and die but they help pay for the programming you do like.
Things will change, some of it good but being involved in the production business and cable business for a couple of years I saw some of the challenges with pay per the drink. Think about it for a show to get a $1M an episode they would need that many people to pay within a couple of weeks which defeats the watch on demand model. If you don't have that money how do you produce the next one
