It does however give a stronger argument against the BBC not closing the CBBC channel.  I seem to recall there being reports recently on the lack of or limited UK children's programming.  Maybe the BBC will opt for a similar approach of putting some CBBC branded programming on BBC Two pre-9am and maybe even early evening (similar to before the channel existed).

I expect that is what will happen. Heaven knows, it's not like there is anything other than repeats on BBC Two at those times (apart from the Crucible, obviously).

The repeats before 9am on BBC Two are signed, so there’s a considerable public service value in them.
