BBC Four & CBBC to close

[Newshound47]

World Service is on for four or so hours, I mean the whole night. I agree it is very relevant to the PSB remit with what it does. But, in my opinion, this doesn’t mean it should be immune from cuts. Someone else has stated that some cuts on live programming on R4 have been made, I think this is a good thing, it shouldn’t be allowed to go on as before when every other service including Local news and radio is cutting back, another very PSB service. And, if we are to believe what we have heard today, Bitesize will also be cut back a bit too. Also PSB.

What is the whole night? Starting before midnight? A lot of the stuff that airs in those slots is podcast friendly and is the type of thing that drives BBC Sounds.

The only LW-only programme I can think of is the Daily Service
Yesterday in Parliament is essentially Today in Parliament just rebadged
Test Match Special, the BBC likely have the rights for it anyways
The Shipping Forecast?
I can't see how cutting these will help at all

I don't see what they mean when they say they won't produce "LW-only content"

If they put back the CBeebies/CBBC blocks on One and Two, it would be like when I was younger..
In The Night Garden at around 10am anyone?

Not even suggesting major cuts, I don’t think it should be immune from even small cuts the way it seems to be. A good start would be to simulcast World Service overnight

Sounds a bit too close to "I don't use it, close it" for my liking

Long wave is being switched off entirely it seems.
