will bbc4 collect the stuff from bbc3 & get rid of children programs?
 
No - the target audience of BBC3 is mainly online (although BBC3 was bought back as a linear channel after the viewing figures tanked last time it was put online only).
 
They lost the youth audience by closing BBC Three the first time, and they didn't come back after they aged out. And the kids that were growing to the age that BBC Three targeted had nowhere to go for a long time. Massive mistake to have done it the first time, and now they're going after more people to pay the licence fee because young people aren't paying it because they don't use it.
