This book’s concluding chapter draws from and synthesises the research findings of the preceding case study chapters. In so doing, it challenges notions of ‘streaming exceptionalism’ and emphasises the book’s main intervention by arguing that contemporary internet-distributed television remains deeply rooted in traditional TV practices. Structured around ten key points, the chapter highlights continuities in terms of appointment viewing, commercial interruption, linear programming, public service broadcasting, episodic storytelling, national specificities, and industry gatekeeping. While acknowledging technological innovations that streaming platforms have introduced, the chapter argues that online television represents the medium’s evolution rather than a revolution, with many streaming platforms increasingly adopting conventional television practices they once positioned themselves against.
