What broadcast or cable network you might think will go under thanks to streaming? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

To give you an idea, what does the future hold for The CW? One of the owners, Warner Bros. is up HBO MAX and already have DC universe. And CBS already has their own streaming service. They are putting more focus on them.

Meanwhile, what will happen to truTV, a network that always seemed to serve the same purpose as sister network TBS and seemingly shows Impractical Jokers 23.5 hours a day but has some unique comedies. If you simply combined them, then they could have a nice full lineup of original comedy shows. But instead, they just split them.

There is no way CBS broadcast network will ever fold. If anything CBS All Access will go first. There are way too many streaming sites now, and even if people like some of the shows, paying for all of them would become expensive. Once the streaming overload calms down, more focus will come back to traditional TV and the lesser streaming sites will go away. CW I could definitely see folding though, they have always been a joke of a broadcast network that comes nowhere near the big 4 ratings wise.

Hopefully, Start TV will be one of them. It has been bad since it began.

Logo TV- lately its slowly becoming a carbon copy of TV Land(2000s-early 2010s era)

Oxygen - It focuses too much on Dramas

I think The CW will disappear in the few years or less.

Oxygen is one of the fastest growing cable channels so that will hardly be closed? Why would The CW close? Are they not putting more investment into it with more programming now?
My Network TV will hardly last much longer?

I wish MTV would go away or at least change their name. They aren't even "Music Television" anymore and have not been for a very long time.

I couldn't agree more. MTV has done nothing but turn generations of teen boys into thugs and teen girls into skanky sluts. Garbage.
