BBC Four & CBBC to close

[tellyblues]

But much less money is spent on Four than Three... leaving Three as a linear channel ensures that newer content BBC has actually spent money on is watched by many people (not just younger people)

Which completely misses the point of BBC3. African Nations Cup or Masterchef Australia can appeal to 16-34 year olds but the bulk of viewers will be from outwith the target demographic. The vast majority of shows commissioned for BBC3 will hardly get any viewers because the BBC are not in tune with what viewers want, much like CBBC.
