I see the use of the term "linear" in this story (e.g "But the decision to shutter the brand’s linear operations reflects a creeping anxiety in the TV business aboamming delivered via broadcast, cable or satellelite..") and some others increasingly, but I must have missed the memo when it was formally defined. From the context I gather it refers to broadcast/cable programming? Is this the way we differentiate between online programming and more traditional television now?
Except, it seems like "linear" is more descriptive of "online" delivery - or am I missing the referant of the "line" in linear? Is the line in question the "cord" that millennials are increasingly cutting? In which case I guess the line is the line from the cable, which brings television to most homes even for broadcast channels. Nobody asked me, but I think I would have voted for a different term.
