I don't understand the "even" part of your sentence.

I have been saying since always that this notion of "linear" to describe broadcast content has been bogus for decades. Just because transmission is "linear" has not meant that consumption has to be "linear." Not since the 1980s, which is getting to be a very long time now to be reciting this same song.

You are a man ahead of the times Bert...

;-)

But broadcasters are still stuck in a time warp. They still think linear and haven't a clue how to use their spectrum to deliver files instead of appointment TV.
