CBBC and BBC Four will be axed from TV in the coming years as part of a raft of cost-cutting measures, the BBC has announced.

It should come up with its own plans." "The licence fee is currently a large amount of money but it is a declining and wasting asset and the BBC should be thinking for itself about how it's more innovative and more entrepreneurial. CBBC and BBC Four will be axed from TV in the coming years as part of a raft of cost-cutting measures, the BBC has announced.

Plans include merging BBC News and World as well as cuts to local TV and radio services in England.

Closing Radio 4’s long-wave service was last suggested in 2011, although in the end the BBC did not shut it down. These groups could be hit hardest by any cuts to the BBC’s traditional radio or television broadcast services. The changes to the World Service may be of particular concern to the government, which it views as a key tool of British soft power overseas. Among the other closures, shutting down BBC Four and making its content iPlayer-only could face strong opposition from its loyal audience. Many of the announcements are likely to face strong opposition from viewers, staff, and politicians. Davie has instead decided to go much further than required and cut the budget for existing television and radio services by £500m, with the extra savings being invested in new digital-only services.

Okay, so it's your chance to vote. From Tracy Beaker to Shaun the Sheep and beyond - which is the greatest CBBC show of all time?

The crinkly man scared me away from this show for life – I just wonder how the kids who got trapped are doing today. Lily jumping off the roof to get attention (relatable actually) was a turning point in my life. Barney Harwood and an extra from Bear Behaving Badly. Also, did the parents know they had people literally hiding in their houses the whole time? The whole premise of parents regressing in age after hearing a magic word was showstopping, inspiring, never-been-done-before. Hysteria aside, this cartoon was iconic and the theme tune still gets stuck in my head. I always wanted to control people’s chaotic side like King Stupid – you can keep the gremlin butler, though. A lot of them were great – but which one was, undeniably, the greatest of ALL time? Stupid Deaths and Shouty Man have also stood the test of time. With that in mind, it’s time to look back on some of our favourite shows from the last 20 years. Did we really need to see what he got up to in his spare time? Dick & Dom – and I cannot stress this enough – had an unmatched influence on our childhoods. Although the channel won’t close its doors for another three years, many people are still reeling from the news.
