    More like 20 years ago. Exclusive streaming channels is an idiotic greed-induced idea that was never going to work - they're simply
    creating a limited potential audience because nobody can afford (nor
    wants to) pay out monthly subsciptions to lots of separate services to
    watch just a couple of shows on each one.

    The phrase "cable TV" comes to mind for some strange reason....

    To completely useless and unwatchable and indistinguishable and
    incompetently run streamers merge. How would anyone know?
