If they had some one announcement on the everything it would have a far bigger impact on the general population and more people would have noticed.

Personally, I feel there is too much sentimentality around individual brands and that a more radical approach of rationalising channels and stations should have been taken earlier - running fewer often merged services at the same funding level, rather than stretching the same services at a lower level. In particular, I've never understood why Local Radio is such a sacred cow - considering the other nations have no similar provision (as well as its fairly low reach), I don't see why England needs so many stations.
