BBC Four & CBBC to close

[Kunst]

I don't see anything wrong with BBC Three being a kind of channel "in the middle" that also tried to attract slightly older demographics; mostly outside of 9pm anyway.

It's BBC1 and 2 which are supposed to be "in the middle" channels, catering for everyone, yet there is little on there for younger viewers.

Yeah, but I'm not talking about the whole schedule, there's nothing wrong with having one or two shows here and there, including live events (which they've always done, with the first incarnation of the channel).

Let's not be extremely "pedantic"; the channel needs to stay afloat in 2022, having Masterchef Australia is not going to kill the original concept, anyway. Even the likes of ITV2 and E4 cater a slightly older audience than intended, now

And again: Cbeebies and CBBC, regardless of any "pumped up" nostalgia of the past, will never ever merge again

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.

And it's been said many times that before 2002, there was No CBeebies, I'm sorry but that is the truth and it wouldn't have existed anyway had it not been for Greg Dyke and Nigel Pickard.

It's not fair to blame the people but not the inevitable TV market all around... anyway, not only merging CBBC and Cbeebies would be controversial, I also can't see anything wrong with keeping them separate.
It's not like the silly (for 2022) watershed rules inflected by OFCOM, to show it with an analogy
