The Learning Zone schools output is for Secondary Schools. Primary Schools are now only catered for by day time broadcasts, and even there one can't quite help but feel thery're diminishing in number on Two. However, primary school programmes are on the CBBC Channel.
I've also wondered why we opt in at 7.30 - is it because we don't have the rights to Chucklevision (in which case could we not have had alternative arrnagements for the three weeks with the CBBC Channel) or is it that there are no network directors in Queen Margaret Drive / Ormeau Avenue at that time?
Agree with the point that someone else madeabout Scotland dipping into their archive - they're bound have material to use, after all isn;t Scotland currently the largest CBBC production base outside London? I recall one summer (late 80s / early 90s) when we joined BBC Scotland and got a very nice continuity announcement welcoming the viewers from NI. Was that the summer we also got Grant Stott and Go 4,5 a BBC Scotland education prog? I seem to recall it having filmed links.
I'm surprised we haven't had BBC Alba appearing at 7.00am with Dotaman and Padraig Post (and the Gaelic version of Koala Brothers)
