I think it's less about specific times and more a form of curation. The streaming options out there either tend to be "you wanted to watch one episode of this show, so here's every single other episode of it, followed by the German translation" or a seemingly random walk through the catalog that ends in Elsagate. The guy running the schedule at the local broadcaster is a little more intelligent than that, and can make a better selection. I'd love to see a streaming service that let you build "channel-like playlists"-- pick a few favourite series and it would populate a sequence to watch, not just those shows but also closely-correlated other programs. You'd only see one or two episodes of a given series in a row unless you intentionally skipped around on the list. Ideally, the suggestion logic would be smart enough to identify "randomizable" shows versus "serial" ones, and pick appropriate episodes based on those rules. There could be various UI refinements-- "I enjoyed Blah, but I've already seen up to Season 5, so skip all of those, but still weight it for the recommendation component." In the end, it would be like network TV all over again: sit down at 7PM, press one button, and you'll watch four sitcoms and an hour-long drama, before switching over to a news product.
