    @oocukkidstv No way, they bring back BBC Three only to immediately do this **** afterwards. Wtf are freeview kids who grew out of Cbeebies going to watch now? Pop?

  • rosshawkes Ross (@rosshawkes) reported

    @JayneHowarth If they do this and stop airing PBS on Freeview, I'll never get my fix of random documentaries!

    @renrag61 Times just move on. By your argument we’d never have moved to freeview.

    @Kaaaaatie_x my parents have never had more than freeview and we didn’t get netflix/prime until i was probably about 14 - without cbeebies/cbbc i wouldn’t have been able to watch any kids shows before that :/ such a massive part of my childhood

    @AlexGAThomas This is really nicely put. We have been here before though, when the beeb threatened to cut Asian Network and 6 Music. After an outcry they seemed to settle down to the usual salami slicing. Also the strange return of BBC3 to freeview.

    @RespectIsVital @BBC An absolute disgrace, CBBC on FreeView should be a protected service for all

    @theoneringnet Sadly i'll never see the prequels of LOTR....Terrestrial & freeview tvs no longer show original LOTR now. Gone Forever😢. Occasionally we get The Hobbit.. but thats rare... 1 or 2x per yr. Soon this'll be Gone Forever. Star Wars suffered a similar fate. Gone Forever.

    @OfficialCDJ Terrible news I remember coming home each day from school to plonk on CBBC, watching both you and Ian have some proper banter. The saddest thing is, as somebody who grew up poor couldn't afford streaming services or anything other than freeview TV.

    BBC3's audience is all online. Going linear won't help it's terrible ratings. BBC4's target demographic are all linear consumers. Killing-off BBC4 to keep BBC3 on Freeview makes absolutely zero sense.
