Why I don't understand with all these traditional companies that are launching streaming services now is with exclusive original content on their streaming services? What do they prioritise? Won't it affect their linear channels with original content in a huge way? I know linear is on the way out but aren't they effectively killing them now? What will Comcast/WarnerMedia/ITV/BBC decide goes on their streaming services and on their linear channels? What's going to be the difference between the linear channel content and the content for their streaming services? Surely the linear channels are going to get the leftovers with the better stuff going on streaming? Like Disney+ is basically Disney for the streaming world. What new content goes on ABC/Disney/Freeform now?

Linear channels/streaming programming?

Value added content, to offer an enticement beyond the library content. The shows—like the Good Wife sequel—might not have the appeal to earn a spot on the network, but there is a core group of fans who might shell out a few bucks.
The same thing is happening with sports networks. The best-known example is ESPN+, which, for $5 a month, gives fans of all sorts of sports access to events that don't have wide enough appeal to air on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. But fans of Southeastern Conference sports can also order SEC Network Plus, which provides all the football and basketball games that aren't on the major networks or the cable SEC Network, along with "minor" sports like baseball, swimming, wrestling, etc. that get little exposure on SEC Network and none on the other cable or OTA networks. The Tennis Channel, which covers as many as four tournaments a day with its wall-to-wall coverage, offers a pay package, Tennis Channel Plus, to super-fans who want to be able to see every match as it happens, not just which center-court match Tennis Channel decides to show at any given time. There's plenty of money to be made from core groups.
