That's fault of BBC top management not consult the merger plan to NUJ or other representative unions. If they still insist the linear channel merger plan as part of cuts, they should instead shifting the BBC News-World News merger plan into CBBC and CBeebies linear channels, as both channels were part of single service before 2002. Merger of both channels instead of UK News and World News channels will not hurt BBC's long-term strategy for the audience in the future as long as their respective channel's content remain available online If CBBC and CBeebies linear services are merged.
