Think that gives them more flexibility and personally I think BBC Wales is stronger for putting flagship content on BBC1 and using BBC2 for live sport etc. than BBC Scotland has been for having the extra chanbel.
Yes, I tend to agree - new/high-quality content would stand out much more as opt-outs on BBC1/2, and there’s iPlayer for catch-up. I don’t think enough people watch the channel for its closure to result in a significant outcry from viewers, especially if the opt-out to BBC2 returns (although it’s obviously be politicised!).
