Was discussing this with two teenage granddaughters last weekend.
We tossed about what TV stations were considered watchable while everyone was house bound.
Coming in dead last was ch10, This group with ch10-11-12 just don't get it, old dilapidated shows re run and re run constantly . If my business was advertising on that groups network, I would be very concerned. The only saving grace was ch10 news at night. That's if it could be termed news.
Ch9's fixation on celebrity's shone through. They did their utmost to keep celebrities' to the for front, no matter how droll dull and boring
ch7 same same, couldn't do much else
Ch2 couldn't get out of first gear if it tried. Constant cross to same same news, no matter how many times shown

SBS on demand has a better movie list than NetFlix, for sure.

What's had me engrossed for the last couple of months on You tube (besides my usual stuff is bouldering.

Interesting to watch these amazing athletes figure out the puzzle of the wall (they only ever climb the wall during their turn in the competition).

Fair bit of waffle to fast forward through at beginning and in places.

I was interested last month and did some research. Post Covid subscription tv viewing was up 10% while free to air was up 20%. That's without sport obviously so now sport is coming back and there's no live crowds that small portion will now also be free to air.
As for me I prerecord anything of interest from free to air watch at my leisure and get the news. Bit of panel comedies and movies.
