BBC3 or 4 to close?

Then where would they put the childrens programmes, they moved all of them to 3 and 4, I would be lost without Justin Fletcher and Balamory.

Hi, I thought all children programmes are now on CBeebies or CBBC for older children felice? I read somewhere the changes were having to be made to fill the hole in the pension pot.

Yes, now that the whole country is (allegedly) digitised, they have all children's programmes on those two dedicated channels.

The childrens programmes finish at 20.00 when 3 and 4 take over for adults.

19.00 in the UK

But not on the same channels.

They do here, I get them through my cable company and i assure you we get the bedtime story at 20.00 then BBC4 begins.

It looks like BBC 3 is going internet-only. Phew! Glad it's not BBC4 but internet-only is better than shut down completely.

That was my reaction too, [mollie].

As it's very much a young persons channel internet only isn't too bad, but I still hope they get funding for new comedy shows. Years ago I used to be terrified that the quaity of British television would be reduced to what I'd heard about American tv.

Hope we will continue to get the Scandi and other European dramas that make Saturday evening viewing just about bearable.

Supposedly BBC4 is still under threat still according to an article in one of the papers [haven't read it yet; the S.O. brought it with him this afternoon].
