BBC3 or 4 to close?

Usually a few hours after they've been shown. Which is great because I tend to nod off half way through the first showing then wake up to watch the second half when it's repeated in the early hours of the morning.

'Confuddled' sums me up. Apologies to all. OK. I would miss BBC4 too. Some of the history and archaeology programmes are unmissable, though they do tend to be repeated not too long after their first showing.

Not the radio station, anno. BBC 4.

BBC4 - Today; Woman's Hour; the Archers; From Our Own Correspondent; The Now Show; The News Quiz; I'm Sorry I haven't a clue... etc ... No, they can't take this station off the air.

I've been reading about web activism today and am ready for a fight so perhaps we could start a FB or Twitter campaign and demand they listen to us?

Hmm, perhaps as licence fee payers we should adopt the sort of "he who pays the piper calls the tune" attitude, but it probably wouldn't get us very far!

I've not heard about this but my choice would be to keep BBC4 for the same reasons as you, Saturday night at 9pm. We do watch other programmes on that channel but never turn to BBC3 at all. I hope the rumours are wrong...

Rumours that the Beeb are going to close one of them. Feel pretty upset about this as I tend to watch them far more than BBC1 or 2. They've already stopped showing my sport of choice, racing, and now this. I would assume that BBC3 will go; I watch that less but it is at the forefront of good new comedy programmes such as Bad Education. BBC4 is full of repeats and archive material programmes anyway, so why does it cost so much to run? And they introduced us to Wallander and The Killing. Is this discrimination against people that are happy to watch programmes with subtitles on a Saturday night hmm. At least they didn't stop Radio6 when they planned to and that is going from strength to strength now. One of the joys of being retired is being able to stay up and watch BBC4 sad. Might as well go backto work. Oops can't; they've closed my dispensary/surgery down.
