I hadn't realised that BBC4 HD isn't available for all of the UK. Do you mean
via Freeview?

Yus, it's only available on COM 7 which is still being rolled out, but
even when it has been (by June this year) it'll only be 30 transmitter
sites (about 70% population coverage)

Do you think they will renumber the channels or is the next step to merge BBC 2
and BBC4?

Dunno, to be honest I'm surprised by this move (and I speak as someone
who never watches BBC 3) but I suspect this could all be a publicity
stunt to promote the channel, already there are 'save BBC 3 campaigns'
on Twitter etc. Remember when they attempted to close 6-Music Radio
a couple of years ago, big fuss, big increase in listeners, and it's
still there, after the BBC Truss saved it.

Not that much of a loss, to my mind. There's very little that I watch,
if anything, on BBC3 now -- how many more times can they re-run old
Family Guy episodes?

If the BBC wants to save money then getting rid of BBC3 to move it
online is OK with me, but they could also scrub BBC News and BBC
Parliament whilst they're at it. To my mind, BBC News was only ever a
knee jerk reaction to Sky News anyway.

What would **** me off is if BBC4 gets the chop. I really value the
foreign language programmes that the channel frequently airs. If it gets
merged with BBC2, as has also been suggested, then I suspect that all of
that 'innovation' will be lost.

With any luck, BBC3/3HD will go online only and BBC4HD can take its
place, to get round all of this messing around with BBC4HD on Freeview
now, using out of group frequencies to transmit it -- take Emley Moor,
for example. The main transmitter site is Group B, so the powers that be
stuck BBC4HD on a Group A channel.

I guess that we'll have to see I suppose. One thing's for sure -- we
licence payers won't get much of a say about it.

The more you think about it, the more the logic is flawed.

Transmission costs on DTT and D-Sat won't be 'saved' as such, all it
will do is release bandwidth on PSB 1 and PSB 3 (and the same on whatever
the SD and HD satellite transponders are).

Perhaps they want to make space for BBC 1+1 which was promised a while ago,
without any clear idea of where it would go ?

I mentioned BBC 3's proposed broadcast demise to our 23 year old lad over tea
this evening. He was totally ambivalent, told me the programmes on there
were quote; 'all crap' and didn't watch it, apparently none of his friends do
either. He consumes gazzoodles of GBs watching Netflix, so perhaps the Beeb
have the right idea about 'internet' delivery, but not how to appeal to young
adults.

YMMV

Anyway, if they don't geolock the iplayer version of BBC 3, they could
suddenly win back the millions of continental Europe ex pats who lost BBC TV
last month thanks to Astra's new bird :-) Beggers can't be choosers !

Anyway, one can now see one of the reasons they wanted to cancel Sky at
night. They are running out of our dosh. Perhaps its time to get a new
model. Surely the BBCs job as a public service broadcaster is to cater for
things the commercial folk cannot as they cannot sell adverts in it. Then if
any of the stuff gets popular, they should have a commercial wing that can
carry on making sid shows and put them out with adverts to help with funding
the rest of the BBC.

That way surely eveyone wins. However that pre supposes that commercials
actually work. My guess is that now so many people are getting their content
via other means which enables editing of the adverts, that commercial
funding is going to be a decreasing revenue.

Actually, that would be quite "logical", after all they are just
'bits' of the BBC's output. Just regard the numbers as identifying
which 'bit' is which by their binary 'weighting values'.

What will happen to the channel allocations for this channel. BBC1 plus 1

That's already in use for BBC2 in the logic of binary weighted

The problem with this idea is that the licence fee should provide
programmes for everybody. If the BBC doesn't provide programmes for hoi
polloi, then they won't pay the licence fee. As a senior BBC man once said

Statistics! Pregnant women are less likely to get immune system
disorders like MS because their immune system is slightly suppressed
during pregnancy.

The MS theories discovered by analysing statistics pop up every few
months. The one about oral contraceptives has done the rounds at least
once before.

My statistics show one man with MS married to a women who took the
