Given digital penetration levels these days (Freeview, Freesat, Virgin and Sky) I do wonder how long BBC 2 can justify simply duplicating CBBC and CBeebies programmes for 5 hours each morning (even if not simulcast) to the exclusion of other programming as it is. I assume it is cheaper but given the level of access to CBBC and CBeebies these days duplicating that output on BBC 2 does seem to be a disservice to the wider audience. More so if this happens at Christmas when a lot more people are home during the day.
Last year CBBC and CBeebies programmes ran only until 0830 on BBC2 over the holidays and programmes for a wider audience then ran from 0830 until 0400. I hope we get the same this year. BBC2 offered quite a reasonable Christmas holiday daytime schedule last year.
