It will be closed down again courtesy of the Gov, cuts plus a lot of other BBC services. All to save 'Big Dog' !
It will backfire of course when the public realise the effect of cutting/removing the licence fee. No BBC3/4, no Wimbledon, no BBC proms, no Local Radio, no drama, no sport, no website , no iplayer...
Mind you if it means no Mrs Browns Boys or Strictly Come Prancing I might in favour
, but they'll probably keep the cheap crap..
