I think what the BBC could do is this then.
BBC one as now. However CBBC slot returns on Saturday Mornings and School holiday mornings.
BBC Two. Takes back all content from BBC Four newsnight axed or moved CBBC to return to Sunday morning slot and weekday afternoons ( when no sport ).
BBC Three axed. Replaced by returning BBC Choice which will be 24 hours. Choice will still cover most of BBC Three remit including return of 60 seconds but will also show some CBBC programs including weekend afternoons and weekday afternoons if Two is busy with sport. Will also showcase BBC Films and additional sport coverage.
BBC Four axed. All programs moved to BBC Two.
CBBC Channel axed. BBC One - Choice will take over CBBC slots as said above.
BBC Extra 1 Renamed Red button stream will continue as now but will simulcast either Radio 1 or 2 breakfast and show additional sport and music events alongside final score and 606.
BBC Extra 2 second Red button stream which will timeshare with CBeebies on Freeview. Will offer content from BBC Archive depending on rights show as sport and the arts.
CBeebies will continue as now.
BBC News. Renamed back to News 24 but will continue to simulcast Breakfast the 1 6 and 10. However further merging with world news will not happen apart from overnights and major news stories. However some programs will continue to be shared such as outside source world business report etc. They will also be more pre recorded shows where possible including UK Today which will be a mixture of stories from the regions.
BBC Scotland. Axed. However as a compromise Scotland would get its own version of newsnight instead. If the Scotland was to continue then funding would have to be found from elsewhere.
BBC Parliament as now.
Radios 1,2,3,4,5,6, local and nations and Asian network continued as now. 1 extra axed with some content going onto the main radio 1, all of 4 extras content going onto the sounds app and sports extra axed with all commentary also going onto the sounds app. Test match special would instead by covered by Radio 3 DAB with normal radio 3 continuing on FM and online. More sharing of slots between local stations.
This would in theory cut costs and streamline the BBC a bit better.
