Before you can “kill” television you have to define what “television” is – a big screen with a simplistic selection tool, a lean-back viewing experience, network productions with professional actors, directors, studio, etc., simulcast of real time events to millions or billions of people?

The web opened the door for non-professional video with amateur everything.
The web has a hypertext selection mode that is predominantly lean-forward.
The Internet reaches ~2B people on a variety of devices, but it difficult to stream the same video to all of them at once over TCP/IP or UDP.

The answer is both media and medium will continue to persist and evolve while the term “television” may in fact fade away from our vocabulary.
