Qqqqq is a w

Exactly, It really annoys me If all social media died for a day I’d watch BBC Four. It’s content is unique and different Why launch bbc three if your gonna get rid of four Four is arguably more important than three cause not many young adults will be watching stuff like that Linear TV is in our culture and our history and we are trying to get rid of it, it’s wrong

It has been a shadow of its former early 2000s to late 2000s self anyway for years. I believe its content should've been merged into BBC Two (which is how BBC Two was in the 1991+ era anyway) and there should be an online only BBC Archive streaming channel/section. It could even be delivered on Freeview via one of the IPTV slots used by those obscure channels.

So documentaries, cultural, arts and series will be moved from BBC Four to BBC Two.

Another way bbc can get money is by putting ads across some of their channels, it might not be the most convenient for the viewer, but at least CBBC and BBC Four will still exist, or at least for a bit longer... OR someone could simply buy the channels to keep them up.

And it's moving to BBC Two

I think must be agree. That's no reason to see a separate Cbeebies and CBBC channels. That just a terrible decision by Greg Dyke and Nigel Pickard to separate CBBC department. In addition to merging BBC News and World News channel, CBBC and CBeebies as a linear TV channel should be merge and can carry the former name for combined channels, while keeping these respective channel's content online and intact as well. A merged channel would return CBBC to its former glory prior to split in 2002 when the CBBC (as a block) aired a wide-ranging programme from toddler to teen audiences.

@Ians453 Finally somebody agrees with me, The BBC News Channel is a UK Channel and BBC World News Channel is a global channel so it should stay absolutely separated but as for the children's channels, there was absolutely no need to separate Children's BBC and in fact no need to launch the children's channels at all cause the audience would be at School. It was fine as it is in BBC One, BBC Two and BBC Choice and there was absolutely no need for Greg Dyke to rename BBC Choice and BBC Knowledge as Three and Four. But the biggest mistake that Nigel Pickard ever made was axing the corporation's flagship Saturday morning show Live & Kicking and for the corporation to axe it's important shows, like Crimewatch UK, Top of the Pops, Liquid News, Grandstand, Watchdog, XChange Schools Programmes such as Numbertime and Words and Pictures, Working Lunch, Despatch Box, Westminster Live, tomorrow's World, Grange Hill, Byker Grove, Holby City, Generation Game, Big Break, The National Lottery Stars, JetSet and Winning Lines, Parkinson, Whatever You Want and removing it's Australian soap drama Neighbours. Not forgetting the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party That's why the best peak era of the BBC was before 2002, it's gone downhill ever since.

​​@@ians4535 as they did on BBC Two in September when it introduced Kids Zone

Red Button was supposed to be axed, but it wasn’t due to backlash from the disabled community, who saw the shutdown as a violation of BBC’s Charter. I don’t think they’ll make the same mistake again.

@@nottimhortons I remember. The thing is, the text services don’t work on newer TVs. So by the time the charter expires, it probably won’t exist anymore. The Red Button seems to have been replaced by the iPlayer

The problem is, the content is already on Iplayer? Are they gonna promote it now it's online? Idk

I don’t think BBC 4 will even exist, its mostly an archive channel, its programming budget will be cut more and its new content can go on BBC2. They will just enhance iPlayer Archive functions.

@Macra You are joking, Separating CBBC to CBBC for older audience and CBeebies for younger audience was the biggest mistake the BBC ever made. The BBC News Channel is a UK Channel and BBC World News Channel is a global channel so it should stay absolutely separated but as for the children's channels, there was absolutely no need to separate Children's BBC and in fact no need to launch the children's channels at all cause the audience would be at School. It was fine as it is in BBC One, BBC Two and BBC Choice and there was absolutely no need for Greg Dyke to rename BBC Choice and BBC Knowledge as Three and Four.

Not forgetting the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party That's why the best peak era of the BBC was before 2002, it's gone downhill ever since.

To be fair, I think in the time that it's been back I've watched BBC 4 far more than BBC 3. BBC 3 lost a lot of channels since it went off air and it has almost nothing of any substance to offer

​@meridian2000 As someone who grew up with Cbeebies, I have to disagree. I still watched it a couple of years into starting school and I loved having it on in the evenings. And at weekends, all ages are at home so it is good to have something for both. PS The comment you replied to didn't even mention BBC News. Stop copy pasting the same thing on every thread

if ur visually impaired and need audio description , something tell me subtitles aint gonna be needed , and the same vice versa

@@onekie5787 And yet I do need both, because it is not a visual impairment that requires the subtitles; I use them so I can still read what people are saying when I cannot see their lips moving. That’s why AD is simultaneously also necessary; it’s fulfilling the role of describing actions I might have missed myself.

@@DrWhoFanJ so u dont technically need them , its a preference. its fair for the bbc to assume that if u need to use one then u physically cant use the other. althought it would be nice to have the option , the demand for it is almost non existant.

@@onekie5787 Not so. I still need them the same way my dad needs a hearing aid: We can achieve the majority of the activity ourselves; we simply need a little help with the final but we can’t do independently (hearing the occasional soft vowel in his case; identifying who’s speaking in a crowded scene/hearing quieter sections or those covered by louder music in mine). I absolutely do need both, and they definitely were both simultaneously-available options just a few years ago. That’s why it’s so confusing; they actively removed something that really doesn’t take much to keep. They’re always available on all other streaming services (the ones I use, at least!) and home media releases, so why is iPlayer randomly incapable of providing both‽ 🤷‍♂️

@@DrWhoFanJ im sorry , im confused are u either visually or hearing impaired?

Also the series, documentaries, cultural and arts.

Why?

I rather see CBeebies should be merge with CBBC to create a single TV channel that can carry CBBC name (with more broader toodler to teen audience) and having BBC Three becoming more similar to BBC One/Two in regards to hour schedule.

And BBC Four have to move to BBC Two

Freeview I'd say will move to online with the terrestrial spectrum being used for TV & mobile phones together so linear TV will be broadcast online via 5G & normal internet as well Also on Freeview CBBC & BBC 3 share a linear channel that flicks numbers at 05:30 & 18:58. The same applies to BBC 4 & CBeebies as well as their HD channels - to save real money they have to cut not only an evening channel but a daytime one as well. So cutting BBC 4 & CBBC from normal TV saves a channel that they can sell - I'm guessing the BBC want to cut the HD channels from Freeview so they can get more SD channels on that multiplex & get more income 1 PSB HD channel = 4 or 5 or more commercial SD channels that would be worth a fortune if sold whereas if it's fixed as PSB HD, I'm guessing that the price of bandwidth would be set by Ofcom

As far as we know, in 2025 at the earliest, BBC Three and CBeebies will keep their alloted broadcasting hours. But we don't know if they'll move to sharing the same channel, or keep their own individual ones. All will be revealed in the coming years i guess 😊

@@AdamMartyn yo thanks :) honestly i watch more cbeebies than cbbc XD

They will be merged CBBC with CBeebies

By this I mean, just old content, like American Bomerang used to be. Like they queue it up and just let it play like red button. Surely that wouldn't be super expensive? How pricey is linear TV anyway? Obviously it not too pricey, otherwise BBC Three would still only be digital

Some of archival programmes will be on BBC Two

Thank you 😊

In International it should be in BBC Player

Most of the time

The programmes after closedown, move to BBC Two

Why should BBC be given more funds when they pay some of their presenters such high salaries? They should better manage the funds they have.

And new BBC Four content can go on BBC Two

Most TVs will want to have Freeview Play certification these days, which has a channels set by Freeview and includes iPlayer

@Steve _G You are joking, Separating CBBC to CBBC for older audience and CBeebies for younger audience was the biggest mistake the BBC ever made, and that's not an opinion, it's a fact, CBBC was much better when it was merged. The BBC News Channel is a UK Channel and BBC World News Channel is a global channel so it should stay absolutely separated but as for the children's channels, there was absolutely no need to separate Children's BBC and in fact no need to launch the children's channels at all cause the audience would be at School.

That's ZDF!

Fingers crossed they don't!

What i think is they should get rid of the standard definition versions and only have the high definition versions

@@samuel-wankenobi it doesn't cost them much to simulcast it, however if they were too they might do after Freeview HD branding is phased out to be just Freeview as all devices have to be DVB-T2 capable now

I mean, this is SUCH a stupid thing, I mean, I know the license fee expires, BUT THIS? is just stupid, CBBC, is a good channel, along with CBeebies, plus, ending 3 shows just cuts the BBC's money in triple,

Ye

What i think is they should get rid of the standard definition versions and only have the high definition versions

As well as on BBC2

Agree

I can only guess that the reason for the relaunch was to try and get young people to have a reason to pay the license fee.

i think they should abolish bb4 and move bbc 4s programming onto bbc3 , its weird to have a bbc4 but no bbc3

Also good news peppa pig was not in CBeebies, so your wrong

My Little Sister Loves Patchwork Pals

What i think is they should get rid of the standard definition versions and only have the high definition versions

When they have to remove, they can move to BBC Two.

@@julianhanc8272 that's correct

Scrap the TV Licence as it is but fund better broadband for everyone?

@@NMY556L incorporate home broadband and the TV license into a single entity? I never want to see an end to public service broadcasting

@@whatamalike call it a digital communication fee and use it to fund public services of which Internet access should be one. Extend the public service remits of all five broadcasters and regulate this part of their output separately to whatever else they do (even the BBC would have to answer for what it does under this system). This remit would also include children's programming and would mandate that children's programming be accessible to all. The regulations would only apply to BBC1, BBC2, ITV (channel 3) , Channel 4 and Channel 5 and not to any other channels, thus meaning that they can't use their other channels to fudge meeting the minimum requirements. Oh yes we broadcast lots of children's programmes starting at 12 midnight on itv4 ha ha .. that'd not meet minimum standards. Stop allowing tbe BBC to self-regulate and bully people into funding their next pay hike!!!!!! Involve broadband providers and other interested parties in improving broadband connectivity and give incentives to organisations who want to help improve public servuice broadcasting - big fat pay rises for overpaid staf aren't classed as a public services.... but, providing good quality content is. Share resources for the creation of public service content and offset the production costs. News output, coverage of key events are classed as public services for example so why duplicate the work .... just share the production workload and fund it from the central pot.

As will be merged CBBC with CBeebies as like CBBC before 2002

I don't believe so! CBBC is moving online in the coming years, CBeebies is staying on TV!

Why is Cbbc shutting down

Can you ask CBeebies to make new go jetters episodes

It's just CBBC instead of BBC Kids.

Tikkabilla, Tweenies, etc.

Amen 👏👏

​@@AdamMartyn So you like the Labour party.

@@princewellidk there are other parties you know - a lib dem in a region with a green local government

I agree with you. But CBBC is a channel, not a show

yh thats what i meant to say LOL

What i think is they should get rid of the standard definition versions and only have the high definition versions

its a good job your not pm if your going to charge that much for the rich. if i was pm id replace it with advertisements and save people a lot of money

Peppa Pig is on Channel 5

No

CBeebies and BBC Four are the focus! CBBC does get a few mentions!
