TV Predictions 2022

[Inspector Sands]

If the bbc had to make cuts they should look at radio 3 and radio 4 they have been sacred cows for too long. It's not fair on everyone else at the bbc that they have to make cuts while those two stations are being safeguard simply because mps like them.

Yes, I'm sure the only reason Radio 4 has survived is because MP's love listening to The Archers and Just a Minute. I think you have an odd idea of what Radio 4 is

[Neil Jones]

The story often goes that BBC Parliament only ever went full screen on Freeview because MPs complained (it was previously only audio, and then only quarter screen).

And anyway if we only kept things because MPs liked them, well we wouldn't have very much at all basically - anything that goes through Parliament as a division vote highlights a split because that's sort of how opinion works.

[Brekkie]

Radio 4 probably has a higher brow reputation than it deserves - I don't listen much but when I do it always feels quite mainstream and accessible. Indeed so much so I think there is an argument that when looking at further cost savings for BBC News simulcasting the likes of Today and PM on the news channel would be worth exploring.

Prediction for 2022 though is that won't happen.

In 2018 the bbc tried to cut most of the parliament channel and lots of mps complained i remember tony hall being Challenged about it in front of the dcms select committee and they uturnd. When the bbc said they would close bbc three most mps couldn't care less because they never watch it

This is one of the more interesting ideas I've seen posted here. I know you had the likes of Chris Evans similcasting his original Virgin Radio show back in the late-90s, but the Global stations, especially LBC, have really normalised this style of presentation over the last few years. How much could the BBC save by doing this?

They cut BBC Parliament to the bone this year with little fuss

Because parliament had more important things to deal with like coivid and in terms of culture a lot of people in the creative industrys were worried about their jobs and some were jobless that is far more important than a little watched tv channel whitch not that many people work on

I think you've missed the point. BBC Parliament is not run by Parliament. Parliamentlive.tv is run by Parliament (or at least indirectly via the feeds), BBC Parliament just relays the feed from the two houses with new graphics on. The budget for BBC Parliament was chopped to pieces as above to the point where it spent all of Parliament's summer break bar one day simulcasting BBC News, and has lost all of its original programming (Booktalk and what not) because of the cuts.

If with Covid continuing and with a later World Cup I can see I’m Celebrity being in Wales again but being the main stay of October pre World Cup.

Victoria Graham to leave BBC Spotlight.

BBC News to get full new titles as highlighted by others.

Weakest Link to be a ratings bomb, but will survive the year. Just.

[NicolasPLanning]

ITVBe will finally increase it's on air branding and promote it's programming, commissioned and acquired, again with the elements that have been missed. Jerseylicious, Big Rich Texas, Big Rich Atlanta, the Real Housewives of Vancouver and Melbourne, and Married to Medicine will be re-acquired. (I really hope a statement claiming the criticism of the lack of ITVBe's on screen branding, programming promotion, innovation and activity on social media gets released) They'll also be active on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube again. It's block LittleBe will become a separate channel and will no longer be on the ITVBe schedule.
