BBC Four & CBBC to close

[natashajacobs]

Think the cbbc plan is bonkers because so unlikely the audience will follow to iPlayer, they’ll just stick to YouTube and TikTok and so on. Won’t be a window shop to get kids over from CBeebies anymore

I think it is probably the right decision. Kids prefer to choose what to watch these days, and the target audience is at school for the majority of the channel's airtime so I think the right decision. Would be nice to see a Saturday morning block of some sort appearing on BBC Two as a presence on linear in the years ahead aswell.

I was just thinking maybe they’ll use BBC2 afternoons for some of the big brands like Newsround and Blue Peter as these will be staying and probably won’t work online only
