Посмотрите эти слова и фразы в контексте, чтобы их использование было понятнее:
Television has been evolving a lot in the recent decades and it is gradually replaced by online platforms, such as YouTube and Netflix. Good old TV news with anchors (or news presenters or TV hosts) will fall into oblivion some day since news are quicker to find online.
Still, traditional TV is popular and attracts billions of viewers during primetime shows. Flipping channels is a favorite pastime for many as they jump from one situation comedy (or sitcom) to another, or from one makeover show, where people or houses change their looks, to another. Live broadcasts of game shows, concerts or public events are especially popular at prime time.
Cable TV has given more freedom of choice for TV watchers because it has an array of specialized channels – let’s say about gardening or cooking. They do reruns of their shows at equal time intervals to reach people with various time preferences.
Finally, online-based services provide unprecendented opportunities for people to consume media content of their own choice at the time they prefer and in the amount they want. That’s why binging on shows/serials, or non-stop watching multiple episodes one after another, has become regular for viewers.
