Because reasons. No seriously the tv licence prive has been controlled and the bbc would rather splurge their money on remoaner Gary lineker’s 1m plus salary rather than anything else.
BBC4 is a channel for great histo-docus you stumble across. No-one will go seeking out the iPlayer on a whim to see if they have anything on breadmaking during the first world war.
What a shame jelly. I’m sure all those in extreme fuel poverty enjoy having to fork out for their licence fee on pain of imprisonment so you can enjoy your First World War bread making programmes.
They had already stopped commissioning new content for BBC4.
Worthy stuff like this is what the BBC should be doing. Stop making crap like Mrs Brown’s Boys and even Strictly - leave that to commercial broadcasters.
SHIFT WORKERS SHOULD WORK SHIFTS WHEN I AM IN THE OFFICE AT MY OFFICE DESK WEARING MY GREY SUIT WITH MY TELEPHONE WITH MORE THAN JUST 0-9 BUTTONS ON IT. COLOUR ME GREY!
Most 7-year olds binge watch on iPlayer these days.
Yeah just like they ditched bbc three last time there was a funding threat
wait how are the tories to blame for this one?
:( at BBC4
They’re only binning the broadcast not the content. It will be online.
They need to save £450m due to the Licence Fee freeze which is due to the tories. This covers part of that saving.

I thought they were going to cancel the licence fee altogether? they bloody better

They wimped out on that clergs
Genuine LoL at risky's 16.06 froth
We should have one state run channel piped into our homes like in the 1950s.
Laugh all you want. The main cause of women’s imprisonment in the uk is non payment of the tv licence.

40% of women in prison are there on drugs offences. 32% on theft offences. 100% of risky facts are made up.
Sorry I was wrong. It is the most common offence for which women are prosecuted, not imprisoned.
They cancelled BBC3 then brought it back. Why, remains an open question.
CBBC should be on bb1 anyway - no one adult needs to be watching tv between 330pm and 530pm

Agreed, but I would say the start of Pointless at 5.15pm, which by coincidence is also the time for a glass of sherry.
Some of the newsreaders get 300k plus for just reading an autocue
BTW - talking of overpaid newsreaders, Huw Edwards looks seriously unwell.
I wonder which sycophantic princling or princess will be anchoring the Jubilee weekend?
Appaz Huw has finally wrestled the ‘London Bridge has Fallen’ gig away from Squire Dimblebore.
Have never understood why BBC salaries are not capped like the civil service.
Oh, but we would lose talent.
Fine, so train some more. Almost everybody in the country wants to be something on TV.
And stop trying to make Gordon Ramsey likeable and some sort of games show host. He is neither.
BBC3 is back isn’t it?
Clergs, they’re to blame because it’s their fault
hth
Amazing how much covert regard there is for Communism among the hard-right BBC abolitionistas
