Should the BBC reduce CBBC hours on BBC2?

Does anyone think the BBC should cut the CBBC hours on BBC2 during the weekday mornings? I think it's time the BBC considered cutting the hours down a bit, maybe say from 6am until 9am instead of 10.30am as it stands now. This would make way for new programming between 9am and 10.30am. Maybe BBC2 could stick a film on in this gap or a new strand of programming, maybe add a new BBC Switch slot. What do others think about this?

I don't think they should. Children's programming has been cut dramatically on terrestrial TV, without cutting more hours off it.

There's enough dross on BBC1 during "daytime" without BBC2 adding to it.

I thourgh the schools are on holiday?

which explains the longer time slot

I think they should introduce a new longer strand called " Programmes for Schools and Colleges " or even " Daytime on Two "

Yes that's probably the reason. I wouldn't know cause I never watch daytime TV

Don't think the majority of English schools are off until next week. In my authority / council we're only off Friday and Monday..Boo!

I don't think cutting childrens tv hours on terrestrial tv down further is a good idea (certainly not until digital switch over is complete). There was a time when you could see childrens programming for the majority of the day on terrestrial. These days it more a case of blink and you'll miss it. It used to be near on all morning on BBC Two, Lunchtime on Channel 4 (Sesame Street etc), Early afternoon on BBC Two (inc. Birthday's), late afternoon on BBC One & ITV (1). Does ITV still even have childrens programmes in the afternoon?

Usually during Term time it's CBeebies that tends to dominates BBC Two's mornings, with it usually running until 10.30am and then some Schools programmes running until about Lunchtime.

Ah, splendid idea!

I think they should cut CBeebies on BBC Two from 6am - 9am, then use that 90 mins left over in the afternoon (maybe 3:30pm - 5pm) for BBC Switch [then children/kids can have a choice between CBBC on BBC One & BBC Switch on BBC Two]

No they don't provide children's programming on ITV anymore. If you have digital you can watch the CITV channel, unless you're in Wales.
