The same thing happens when TV shows get sold or actors/hosts get contracts on other networks. I used to like the Colbert Report, but when he took over the late show I could never watch it because CBS wasn't on Hulu or any other streaming platforms. Recently I got Youtube TV, and I still can't watch anything on Comedy Central since Viacom won't put anything there or on Hulu. The TV world is so fragmented these days, almost nobody will have access to every show on every network and streaming platform. Similarly in music even, not many people have Spotify and Apple Music and Tidal to have access to all the exclusive music. The openness of the podcast world is pretty great, but I won't be surprised if it goes the same way with more and more exclusives. The flip side, though, is there's more really good TV content these days than ever before, it's just expensive (& annoying) to access it all.
