Surely all radio ‘extra’ channels can just go on sounds only, as streams or similar. Admittedly I don’t know how much £ that saves.
I think the bbc needs to alter the perception of what it does, as much as it does to reduce spend.
People think it’s too big due to the extra channels and spin offs etc etc, but moving them to a lesser format would reduce that perception.
I also think they’ve taken a fairly broad brush on these to say “this will impact news, children and adult tv”.
I think someone said a few pages ago that largely people haven’t noticed many significant changes - and this is about saying “here’s the impact of reduction and were serious about it”
On a logic point of view - removing cbbc is surely just a new nail in the coffin for bbc3 a few years later as now they won’t have linear viewers transitioning...
There’s small cuts that could be shown as sensible like removing regional continuity and moving to prerecord for regional opt outs etc.
I can’t help but think not all of what was announced today will happen
