And as someone else said earlier in the thread, the closure of the channel would be a drop in the pan (and they'd still have to run the airtime anyway for CBeebies), so it may not be worth even going through the process in the first place.They didn’t close BBC Three to save money; they cut all of its content, supposedly to save money, then had no choice but to close the channel through lack of anything to show on it. That’s not really a problem with an archive channel. As you say, benzj, there’d be barely any cash saved with closing BBC Four.
