Yeah, I think it was something like 0-6 = Cbeebies, 6-12 = CBBC, 13-17 = Switch. But Switch's demise means that teens don't have a BBC outlet. Maybe they just watch less TV nowadays? After all, Trouble was aimed at teens, but closed last year (and even if it hadn't closed then, it would've probably closed when Bravo did).
Ah, yes, makes sense that they've (un)officially inherited the Switch remit. Just stuck out like a sore thumb at 4.30pm on BBC1... good lead in for Shaun the Sheep, I wonder?
Thinking about it, there was also a trail for a suspiciously BBC3 sounding "kids go to developing nation and promise to change
from now on"
travelogue airing on the Channel at 6ish.
Perhaps instating an unbranded but set in stone 7-8pm weekday block on Three (channelling the old 6-7 BBC2 slot) as a bridge from CBBC's close would better serve the audience, with the right content of course?

Would be interesting to see if it'd be separately branded like DEF II was if it proves popular enough. Probably won't though, always seems like that's been the BBC's lost social group that they've never managed to get to.
Poor Andy Crane being kept on a box, haha.
A nice little cameo and many mentions from the early 90's of Ant & Dec in Byker Grove, John Craven's Newsround, and asking to get your song sheets for the Willy Fogg singalong. Brilliant stuff.
