Let’s get serious about this: Stations will BECOME apps. Apps that don’t need broadcast, or cable, just the internet or wireless telephony. Apps you watch on your phone. Apps you can plug into that OTT device that connects to your TV. Apps that play over your home wifi. Yes, once in very great while a local disaster will need broadcast, which is why we should keep maybe one government-run radio and TV station per market. But apps will kill broadcasting (though not stations, per se).
