I would happily see CBBC and Cbeebies merged into a single channel. CBBC content is aimed at kids who should be at school for half the time the channel is live. That's a clear waste of money.

But extending HD across the BBC's output is primarily about streamlining and reducing cost. The next step will be to switch channel numbers so the HDs are the defaults. Then when HD uptake is high enough the SD channels can disappear.
