With the Spectrum settlement on Monday, does this mean the start of consolidation of linear networks? The House of Mouse can move its Freeform original content to another channel or Disney+. The could eliminate all the duplication and push subscribers to streaming. Did we really need another set of reruns of “The Office” on Freeform?  Or will all these networks survive on Comcast, Cox, and other providers?

I mean after all of the BabyTV channel protests are over. 

Could it be a start of a trend where linear channels re-focus and shed the weight and costs od multiple networks that don’’t even reflect their name anymore?

I agree some consolidation will start.  They can start with Sundance Channel that no longer runs feature films, just MASH and Andy Griffith reruns

Don't forget "Law and Order," "NCIS" and original true crime shows (although if they all had Hilarie Burton Morgan hosting I wouldn't complain).
