Streams quench terrestrial telly's summer drought

The least surprising television news of the summer arrived last week with Ofcom's annual report into viewing habits.

At first glance it would appear the BBC and the other terrestrial channels are on their last legs on account of hardly anyone watching them any more.

That's not strictly true, of course. The Defund The BBC mob is going to have to carry on with the wailing and gnashing for a good few years yet.

However, the timing of the report could not have been worse.

For we are currently marooned in the summer TV wilderness, where our only hope of escape is to follow the streams.
