BBC Four & CBBC to close

[Col87]

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.

As per many people's concern regarding BBC service fate, whether in social media or not, BBC can axed many services that are seems unprofitable and unnecessary, as well as channels and stations that overlap each other genres. BBC Scotland can be reverted to BBC Two Scotland and resuming opt-out of BBC Two will local twist. Regarding CBBC, the linear service can be merged into CBeebies giving that they operated as single service before 2002 and offering wide-ranging children and teen's content. Some CBBC programmes can be also aired on BBC One/TWO/Three as programme block while continuing CBBC's existence online.

However, BBC Parliament were unnecessary channel because it can be easily simulcast with BBC News channel when Parliament was not in session. So, why not merge both channels instead with World News?

Right this has been said how many times CBBC and CBeebies can not be merged. You can’t go from Newsround or a drama like the dumping ground which could be dealing with issues such as puberty or death to in the night garden. 
Same as how BBC news and Parliament can’t be merged. You can’t carry something like a Committee session and cover something like a major news story at the same time.
