With inflation where it is and licence fee trajectories where they are, the money just isn't there for the foreseeable future.
Plus, even if managers do admit defeat, as with BBC Three, it'd be a partial return - likely as per the channel is now. The channel as it was 10 years ago is long gone and a truly supplementary service as it was in the early years is so distant as to be virtually unimaginable.
