I don't understand why they would say that turning cable TV businesses like MS NOW and CNBC into something else is difficult when both have dedicated streaming apps available. They're also carried on the various multi-source streaming apps like YoutubeTV, etc.

But there is still less per sub fees in today's world, even with YTTV, we are at 62.23 million subscribers ( was 100 Million in 2019), 40.90 million from traditional and 21.33 million from YouTube TV and the rest.

That number shrinks every year by 6-8 million, so even less per sub fees and with it….advertising dollars.

It looks to me that the problem is a promotion issue, not a transition from cable to streaming issue.
