"uselesses" wrote in message ... Between 9am and 1pm the CBBC Channel shows schools programmes during term time, but you wouldn't have checked that out before your rant. However if you would like a valid argument, you could ask why there are a dozen other kids channels on air with cartoons. Aw c`mon rant is a bit harsh :o) These channels are probably a godsend for Parents but I ain`t got no use for em!

I`m sure there`s been times when I`ve turned on the TV and theres been
childrens programmes on all 4 BBC channels! I bet there hasn't... I bet ya large sums of money there has. I know for a fact during school holidays in the mornings I`ve browsed through all 5 terrestrial analogue channels and found cartoons and childrens programmes on all 5. |

I am constantly frustrated by all the kids TV programming on BBC News 24 and BBC Parliament. ;o) Ric. I forgot to comment on the "8 channels". This is where the thread started. It seems to me that BBC3 and CBBC are really one channel masquerading as two and BBC4 and CBeebies are another such pair. So it may be more accurate to s ay 6 channels since that is the maximum choice you ever have. Rubbish. They are separate, distinct channels which cater to a different demographic. As soon as you take your head out of your backside and realise that Freeview is not your personal programming selection, its a national service which caters for a multitude of demographics and tastes the better. Stop complaining. Be thankful you don't have just 1 channel full of state authorised propaganda. Numpty Good grief, what did I do to deserve that? I was not even complaining, if you had read further down, you would have seen me say that I was happy with the BBC3 / CBBC distinction. All I was doing was observing some odd behaviour of my STB and counting channels. The STB sometimes confuses BBC3 and CBBC. There are never more than 6 BBC channels active at one time. Do these observations deserve your attack? Unless it is an apology, you are not welcome to reply to this, or any other post of mine. S |

Stop complaining. Be thankful you don't have just 1 channel full of state authorised propaganda. Moldy, I suspect it is you with your head up your backside... There is no time of the day when the BBC is broadcasting 8 distinct TV channels in the UK. CBBC and BBC 3 never co-exist. Similarly with CBeebies and BBC 4. I am in agreement with Sean's post - what is the point of having different channel numbers for channels that are broadcast on the same Muxes and will never co-exist? And please don't witter on about demographics; BBC 2 caters for different sub-sets of society at different times of the day/week but doesn't feel the need to call itself different names depending on who is watching at any given time. Back in the good old days of BBC Choice, kids TV (cbeebies) was on Choice during the day and it switched to "adult" programming at 7pm. But no changing of channels was necessary. And in the case of CBBC and BBC3 the line that divides the demographics is pretty blurry anyway - I don't see why it isn't just called BBC 3 all day long. (Of course the Cbeebies/BBC 4 demographics are not so close...) Feel free to dispute these statements. Ric. |

I was not even complaining, if you had read further down, you would have seen me say that I was happy with the BBC3 / CBBC distinction. Yes, I should have read on - my rant was more aimed at those in this thread who are saying there should be no CBBC/CBEEBIES at all. All I was doing was observing some odd behaviour of my STB and counting channels. The STB sometimes confuses BBC3 and CBBC. There are never more than 6 BBC channels active at one time. Do these observations deserve your attack? Not at all Unless it is an apology, you are not welcome to reply to this, or any other post of mine. I hereby apologise Sean.
