BBC Four & CBBC to close

[Aaron]

The risk with CBBC is it goes against the plan of trying to attract younger viewers to the BBC. I know that was largely referring to young adults, but if you take away CBBC and make it equal with any other online content, you end up with older children consuming zero BBC content and facing the same battle later on.

I would agree with others who suggested a block on BBC Two, it’s not as if the schedule is packed full of programmes that couldn’t be shifted.
