That has nothing to do with the cost of maintaining a linear presence.
As others have pointed out content left the channel as part of the savings. And they filled BBC 1 and 2 with some of the leftover content. Another spreadsheet wheeze for the BBC but nothing to do with the cost of maintaining a linear presence.
As you’ve correctly pointed out they are reversing the decision. Clearly, because little of this online content had the reach of the linear channel.
I could give the BBC a way to save billions by - closing down. It’s hardly a like for like comparison.
