With regards to the children’s channels would or could they revert to showing a slot on the main channels which could work as a showcase for their programme catalogue through IPlayer?


Its an option but with The Repair Shop and Pointless having decent ratings it's highly unlikely IMHO.

This is a wild idea, but move love island to bbc three?

I think the CBBC audience are usually capable of finding the content they require through iPlayer. Just create a parentally restricted 'BBC Kids iPlayer', assuming it doesn't already exist.


However, with the (under 6 year old) audience of Cbeebies, it's not so easy for a parent to just put their infant in front of a non-linear channel. They would either have to select the programmes beforehand (time consuming), or at least have a pre-arranged online schedule from which to choose.

Either way, the intention would be to save money from broadcasting linear channels. Freeview mux space could be sold, and DSat transponder costs saved.

There’s a BBC iPlayer Kids app which does that I believe

I think in the last 8 pages we have managed to collectively solve Tony Hall's TVL budgetary problem and reorganise the BBC for the next 20 years. Very Happy

what would be a good timeslot for Rupaul drag race if it were on Linear Tv, I’d feel it would clash with love island

Not sure why I’m responding but the programmes are on different times of the year for a start.
