The influx of Netflix, Presto and Stan won't kick free-to-air TV to the curb, reports Fairfax Media press.




The rise of Netflix, Stan and Presto will not kill off free-to-air and cable television in Australia despite predictions that 60 per cent of broadband-connected households will sign up for streaming services by 2023, Credit Suisse says.
