BBC Four & CBBC to close

[bkman1990]

Do the age group who watch archive stuff stream as much through. That’s a big factor.

It's a bit of a loaded question to answer in my view. People who have subscriptions on Netflix or Amazon Prime do get to stream older shows like Friends or The Office. You would also have to ask which age groups actually have the opportunity to stream archive content online the most often in the UK. I personally don't usually stream archive programmes on the internet myself in my country.

If the older viewers who actually watch BBC Four in the UK and record the programmes in huge numbers to watch later instead of using iPlayer; there could be a situation in where we approaching a similar situation like the initial closure of BBC Three in 2016 all over again.
