TV itself isn't dead, the linear format is dead.

In today's technological era, people don't want to be forced to watch news at a specific hour and shows at other hours. They want the flexibility of "what I want, when I want it".

I'm not entirely sure about canada, but in the UK DVR/PVRs have taken over. Our sattelite and cable operators offer them built into their packages and you can buy simpler ones for the free to air channels. I have friends who have a Virgin+ Media box and I don't think they've watched a single piece of scheduled programming since they got it. I will have tears in my eyes when I say goodbye to my Sky+ box of over 3 years.

Content delivery is changing. Everything will end up becoming "on demand", so I doubt TV will change, but certain shows will stop being the "9am such and such show" and rather the "9th Novemember such and such show"

Live TV is dying, not television itself.
