More channel closures 'inevitable'
An industry expert told The Sun that more channel closures are likely in 2025 and beyond.
"This is inevitable, more broadcasters will cull broadcast/linear TV channels as viewers are flocking to streaming services," Paolo Pescatore from PP Foresight said.
"The big TV switch off is around the corner, with all programming set to be delivered via the internet.
"Viewers are now spoilt for choice with how and where they watch the TV shows they love across a range of connected devices.
"To respond, broadcasters need to be prepared and work more closely with telecom providers to ensure a seamless experience for users."

I know the exact moment Prince Harry had second thoughts about how he's treated the King & why he looks so sad, says pro
PRINCE Harry had an exact moment of having 'second thoughts' about how he's treated his cancer-stricken father King Charles, according to royal experts. The Duke of Sussex , 40, has had a rollercoaster few years since ditching royal duties and relocating to California with Meghan Markle, 43. 6 Tensions have been running high between Prince Harry and his family in recent years Credit: Getty 6 The Duke of Sussex stepped down as a senior royal in 2020 and relocated to California with Meghan Markle Credit: Mega 6 Prince Harry gave an exclusive interview with the BBC's Nada Tawfik near his home in Santa Barbara, California following his security court case defeat in May Credit: BBC After criticising his family in his bombshell documentary , experts have claimed things came to a head following his Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, legendary royal photographer 'I don't know what he does every day. He probably takes the kids to the park and stuff like that. 'But he doesn't seem to be having a real role now.' More on Prince Harry Arthur claimed that Prince Harry may have had a moment of second guessing his decisions in his The royal photographer said: 'He looked so sad in that, and so really down and not upbeat like he was normally. 'I feel somehow he's having probably second thoughts. Maybe this is not such a great idea.' News . Royal Correspondent Bronte Coy agreed on the show, and shared: 'I thought the same. That was only a month ago. Most read in Royals 'For better or worse, Meghan's forging ahead with her path. But seeing Harry look exactly as you say, looking so defeated. 'But from that interview and the things he was saying, it just appears he seems quite stuck.' I've seen signs of how stressed Prince Harry is recently - he's killed any chance of reconciliation with King ITV 's Royal Editor Chris Ship argued that if Prince Harry does want to reconcile with his father, as he stated in the BBC chat, the video was 'exactly the thing not to do.' He explained: 'Because now, you know, they can't share anything private with him because they're worried it will just end up in the public realm.' Arthur stated that if Prince Harry had said 'sorry Pop, I do want to see you', it 'might have had a difference.' However, the royal photographer did say that his BBC plea was 'coming from his heart.' He added: 'I thought he looked so sad, you know, so sad. 'Maybe because he'd just lost half a million, one and a half million quid, maybe that's what made him sad.' 6 Royal experts have questioned Prince Harry's role after stepping down as a royal Credit: meghan / Instagram HARRY'S BOMBSHELL CHAT A tragic revelation in the bombshell interview was when Prince Harry revealed that his father, King Charles, won't speak to him. Harry said when making the emotional admission: "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff." 6 , BBC NEWS Prince Harry speaks to BBC News Credit: BBC Harry and William are also said to be barely on speaking terms. William was reportedly 'blindsided' by Harry's decision to ditch his duties to live in his Montecito mansion with Meghan and the pair have yet to make amends. Another blow to the Royal relationships struck when Harry released his memoir Spare in 2023. Harry didn't hold back in the controversial book which caused a deeper chasm between him and his brother. In the bombshell memoir, he detailed Megxit and how the Royal family brand Meghan "difficult" and "rude." He slammed Queen Camilla as a villain and was highly criticised for outing his family for cash. 6 Prince Harry and his family in happier times in 2014 Credit: Getty "There have been so many disagreements, differences between me and some of my family," he added. "This current situation - ongoing for 5 years - is the sticking point. "Of course some members of my family will never forgive me for writing the book, for lots of things." He says the future of him, his family, and their relationship with the UK will depend on King Charles. Keen for the family to make up, the Duke says whether a reconciliation is on the cards will ultimately be up to his father, saying: "It's in his hands." He added: "I have no idea how much longer my father has - he is no longer speaking to me - but it would be nice to reconcile. "It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don't want that, that's entirely up to them." Why did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step back as senior working royals? PRINCE Harry has always wanted out of the Royal Family and the repercussions will be felt for years, an expert has claimed. The Duke of Sussex has lived in California with his wife Meghan Markle since 2020 after they dramatically quit their jobs as working royals and moved across the pond. Katie Nicholl, who is Vanity Fair's royal correspondent, told The Sun's Speaking to The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the commentator explained: "Anyone who knows Harry is aware he's always wanted a way out of the Royal Family. "He's said multiple times on the record that he wished he'd never been born a prince. "I think he really is living the life he wants to now. It's very, very sad that it's played out the way it has.' "We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. "It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. "We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. "This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.'
