I have noticed the news channel isn’t get promoted at all like trailers for click or any indeed other show always end up as you can watch on iplayer no mention at all off the news channel, they are trying to put the channel out to pasture.

Looks like that the merger is not enough for them, now they definitely want to close it........

This is definitely not what has happened here - the iPlayer first thing is increasingly common across television promos and, to be quite frank, if you are somebody really interested in watching programmes like Click, it'd make sense to watch them on iPlayer rather than the fairly odd times they are shown at weekends and overnights.

I'm also not sure where this idea of an executive conspiracy against the News channel has come from. News has long been something of an executive's darling and, until this time last year, the News channel was one of two national BBC channels/stations to have had a real-term increase in budget over the previous decade. It's hardly been treated badly over the years and, if they really wanted to close it now, I'm sure they'd have simply closed it rather than go through a highly convoluted merger-with-the-intent-of-failure scheme that was reliant on creating a public backlash that has not materialised.
