They can call it what they like, I watch the programmes on the channels rather than worry about channel names. I look at programmes coming up and those i think worth watching I put them on Sky + for future viewing. BBC4, BBC 4.53267 or BBC Monkey Farm, if the programme is there I want to see I will watch it. I do not care what the channel is called.
Don't be surprised if BBC4 also disappears. Though one thing's for sure, what the channel is known for right now will be a thing of the past once the changes are made. More likely it will just repeat the best of the week's programming on BBC1 and 2.

If BBC Three will survive online, why go to the trouble of rebranding BBC Four?
No reason at all. In fact, it is useful to highlight the continued existence of the "channel" as an online service - as previous posters have pointed out with Sky Three.
When you go to BBC iPlayer now, it has ONE TWO THREE FOUR at the top so you can easily find content from each channel. BBC Three may close on television, but it will continue online as a "channel" accessed by clicking the "THREE" so no need to re-brand BBC Four. In fact, BBC Four will probably end up going the same way with the broadcast space probably being used as BBC ONE+1 and BBC TWO+1.
There has been no indication that the BBC is even thinking about a TWO +1 channel (especially when it is debatable if such a channel is needed or is appropriate at this time)
Meanwhile, the Three space will be used for the one +1 channel.

So I propose BBC Nearly 4
or BBC Under 4's
or BBC Petty 4's
Or BBC2SQ for short
I would definitely watch BBC Monkey Farm
