I do wonder if this makes other broadcasters consider the potential of FAST. Really bizarre they're doing it for their younger offshoot but their reasoning of the shift to online for this generation makes sense.

Course, it does make me wonder if there's potential for the BBC to end up doing the same thing for CBBC. If they did it for CBeebies, parents would be fuming.

Moves like these are only going to strengthen the BBC's case to close CBBC, the best case scenario is a move to FAST channel without the carriage costs.

This domino effect really began with the CITV closure last year
