The BBC will stop broadcasting its CBBC and BBC Four as linear channels at some point in the next few years, the corporation has announced.
In a speech to staff this afternoon, director-general Tim Davie said the BBC must reform to stay relevant and continue to provide great value for all.
They said there were “plans to stop broadcasting smaller linear channels, such as CBBC and BBC Four and Radio 4 Extra, after the next few years”.
Mr Davie said: “This is our moment to build a digital-first BBC. Something genuinely new, a Reithian organisation for the digital age, a positive force for the UK and the world.”
