Interesting to see the BBC taking this decision. I suppose with also having the CBBC Channel they see less need to also have it on BBC 1.

While the CBBC Channel remains DOGged there's every need to have it on either 1 or 2.

I don't think kid's would be too bothered though, I mean CD-UK and Live & Kicking both had their programmes logo's in the corner, and people still watched them, Kid's either wouldn't notice or just think its something cool.

And therein lies the problem; children are growing up not knowing any different. Credit squeezing, ECPs, 4:3 cropping all started on children's TV and then spilled out into mainstream...as if broadcasters are deliberately patronising youngsters.

But if in a couple of generations time everyone is 'patronised' into having on-screen graphics and knows nothign else.... then there isn't a problem!
