BBC Four & CBBC to close

[sjames]

A thought... why does cbbc need to exist between 830-330 when kids of cbbc age are at school.

CBeebies different story of course.

Maybe the old kids morning and evening slots should return on but in bbc2 say 6-8 and 4-7?

You could apply that logic to any children's channel though. Of course if kids are off school ill or maybe even being home schooled, or even where school holidays vary across the country it's useful. When the CBBC channel first started they used to show schools programming during the day as well as some classic CBBC shows, there's no reason why they couldn't return to that.
