I think BBC (and it's siblings in other countries) will do well.

They aren't burdened by paywalls or quarter-capitalism. As long as they do a good job (ensuring that the public want them funded) I think they'll be around.

In Sweden, SVT (public service channels) have done a good job providing all content online, on Apple TV, etc. It feels like they have a modern mindset.

I'd expect it's easier for BBC, since English content is probably easier to sell around due to the larger number of English speaking countries. Quite a many audiences aren't comfortable with subtitles, so dubbing is suddenly required for content originating from smaller language areas.
