Arts channel BBC4 faces the axe to save cash

BBC4 could shut to cope with two-year licence fee freeze announced in January. BBC chiefs say the licence freeze will create a £285million funding gap by 2027.

Previous BBC4 hit shows include The Thick of It, Detectorists and Twenty Twelve. When BBC3 came back to TV, rumours that BBC4 might be axed to help pay for it. Tim Davie refused to rule out axing BBC2, BBC4 or Radio 5 Live earlier this year

That’s monstrous! Why pay the fee then?

BBC4 Is one of the BBC,s best channels.. wrong decision folks...

the only channel worth watching on the bbc

It's the cheapest run channel alongside BBC parliament I would rather axe the license fee collected by Al capones agency

That complete waste of money BBC3 should be axed as well.

Dear God. BBC4 is the only good BBC channel there is! If they get rid of that, I’m no longer paying my license fee for the other biased nonsense channels that are left.
