Prediction:

1. Broadcast (free) TV will consist 100% of live programming

2. All series will be bought and available on streaming services like Amazon, Netflix, Disney+

3. Cable channels or TV episodes can be bought individually (iTunes, Google Videos, etc), basically they will be their own streaming service (it actually that already exists, IPTV? just not in the US?)

Why:

Everyone will use DVRs to record TV shows so can skip all advertisements

Therefore only way to get viewers eyeballs for ads is live programming where you need to cast votes which affect the outcomes (supposedly)

Streaming services obviously don't have this problem and don't need to run ads since there's a monthly subscription fee that more then covers cost.

1.: As video recorders (even older ones with VHS sometimes allowed to not record ads) exist since a long time now, I doubt it will change TV in the future.
And there will be still public broadcast or state TV in many countries.

2.: Yes, but fragmented over hundred services.
