A lot of things made in HD are only going to be seen in SD, seeing as just about all new commissions have to be produced in HD.
This also means that the shows won't be able to be viewed in high definition, especially if BBC HD is to become BBC Two HD.

Do kids really care about HD? I know a lot of kids who watch the channels rather than BBC1/2 because they obviously debut stuff first and it's more convenient than having at change channel at 5:15 (or 8:30 etc.)

Well, if they must squander transmission bandwidth on drivel quiz and p0rn channels, and throw away even more with the +1 stuff, then that's the outcome I'm afraid.
Expect no improvements.

But the CBBC channel already gets higher ratings than CBBC One does when they're on at the same time (well it was last time I checked). With any luck this'll give a boost to Blue Peter which aside from Newsround is the only first-run show on BBC1, so really it's been more hidden away on BBC1 than it would have been on a digital channel.
The question is will it continue once it's lost its presence on the main channel? Out of sight, out of mind and all that...

It's actually premiered on CBBC Channel on Thursday and repeated on BBC One on Friday. There is actually nothing original on BBC One, it is all repeats.

Oh really? Has it been like that for long?

As long as kids get to watch their programmes (and they know where to find them having grown up with kids channels and knowing no different) then there is no issue. A lot of the programming on BBC1/2 is repeats anyway, and it gets a very small audience. The BBC won't be able to get away with cutting back in the same way that ITV have.

Inevitable and already announced news, and unlike says with news the ratings justify such a decision as almost all kids of the target age have grown up with CBBC and CBeebies anyway. I do think though considering the HD question and the hours BBC2 will be left to fill that keeping a block of shows at the weekend woudn't be a bad idea - but it's going to be interesting to see what happens with BBC2 during the mornings especially.

It's not just children's programming that will be affected by the change. BBC3/4 programmes will also not have an outlet on HD.
I think that some of the other DQF changes are are a lot more concerning than children's programming leaving BBC1/2.
