The point is look what happened to BBC Three, there was a huge outcry when Tony Hall said he was going to axe it and that then turned into anger when the closure and move to online was approved, turns out the move online was unsuccessful and now the move online is being reversed, I imagine the same reaction would happen if BBC Four was to get cut.
Doubt it somehow. Probably be a case of a bit of "oh dear", tutting and general raised eyebrows and then grab the remote and find something else to watch.
Re: "the name of the older channel in full is Children's BBC, and also this has got nothing to do with merging other channels." - you can't say your argument is nothing to do with merging channels, especially when you've just said in the same sentence there is no need to have two channels when one will do.
You can't have your cake and eat it.
