Streaming services were supposed to kill broadcast TV, yet I still flip to network channels for live sports and local news. When the power went out last month, my antenna grabbed 40 channels free while my neighbors' smart TVs were bricks. Ad-supported free TV has quietly adapted with sharper picture quality, and the user experience is finally catching up — no buffering, no monthly price hikes. Maybe broadcast television isn't dying after all, but evolving into a niche medium that only cord-cutters and old-school viewers appreciate. What should networks do next to stay relevant in this streaming era?
