BBC VALUE FOR MONEY?

On the face of it, the BBC argues value for money with it's digital TV stations but the reality is we only have half of a BBC 3 and half of a BBC4 and it's easy to forget that, especially when the BBC likes to promote that it has 6 UK channels when this is just a technicality.

Why not actually give us full channels that are on all day? Even the cheapest private sector channels manage this with repeats of old shows and music. So why don't the BBC make use of the mountain of cultural classic Television rotting in the archives that has little commercial value and give it a good airing? Why not involve the BFI and create a new daytime schedule on BBC4 with it?

A hybrid BBC music channel wouldn't go amiss either. Why not use BBC3 in the daytime for this? Maybe a collaboration with BBC6 music or a resurrected Top of the Pops would be nice. Ok, before you say they are already stretched to the limit now anyway, don't forget the BBC created these services in the first place and should at least try to fill them.
