Broadcast TV in general is dying. It has been for several years now.
I mean really ask yourself, what are the highest rated shows right now and what are they being watched on?
Entertainment is not a zero sum game. Broadcast audience measurement. While not the largest portion of viewers, broadcast does serve a large group of Americans every day.
The affiliate system on the other hand is going to die. It is inevitable. Retransmission consent costs and major networks taking the lions share of those revenues from affiliates while putting the best content in their own streaming silos -exclusively- is going to likely be the culprits.
Overall, broadcast is viable even if most of the viewership for its content is via OTT/streaming.
I said dying, not dead. It'll never truly completely die. But will eventually zombify into a casting of its former self.
I feel that it’s likely will cease video and sound at some point and the licensees of the spectrum will be use it for data casting. It’s a wildly efficient mechanism for a one to many situation.
My guess would be reality tv slop on discovery or something.
It's a shame because I find myself missing the broadcast. I'm nostalgic for a block of programming a human put together. Maybe something with a VJ in between the shows or movies to chat a little.

Nope
Conan is a treasure.
late night tv isn't dying it's being murdered by media cos and streamers who are so consumed with greed they keep pushing prices higher and higher
I mean moreso both of these things are symptoms of "line must always go up".
Late night TV isn’t dying. Like many things it is just failing to adapt.
Advertising is pulling out because nobody watched the show LIVE not because nobody watches the show. The vast majority of viewers watch on YouTube the next day.
It’s the same thing over again, Napster showed what people wanted and we got iTunes instead. Torrenting showed what people wanted and we got Netflix instead. People want to watch Colbert but as always the industry says “my way or the highway”.
if it was that simple i'm sure Netflix or some other streamer would offer a big name tons of money to do a streaming "late night" show. but I guess the institutional knowledge to run a daily show like that is not easy or cheap to replicate.
It's a weird thing that so much competition for our attention is actually a horrific aspect of the future.
