2.1.7 Reductions in transmission spend
The cost of transmitting the BBC’s services is predicted to rise significantly as platforms proliferate, which in turn reduces the amount we can spend on content. The BBC must aim to contain these costs wherever possible while continuing the journey to a fully digital future. This will involve some difficult choices, particularly as we ramp down outdated or transitional transmission technologies. We therefore propose:
• A phased reduction of broadcast Red Button services, reducing the number of interactive streams to one across all platforms and exploring
the longer-term transition to IPTV technologies
• Closing the BBC HD channel and replacing it with a single version of BBC Two in high definition

So if Virgin Media keep out removing two channels from Total Channels every night we will be down to just one channel by mid-April 2012.

My total servs are now 359 they were 361
