BBC Radio's Director of Speech, Controller of Radio 4 and 4 Extra, Mohit Bakaya has suggested that Radio 4 Extra could still exist as a radio livestream within BBC Sounds, if a decision to remove it from traditional broadcasting through FM and DAB aerials goes ahead in the next couple of years.
This solution could presumably apply to BBC4, which might livestream within iPlayer. It means, of course, that there's no saving on schedulers, just transmitters. It would be good to see what these marginal costs are - considering other BBC channels will still be 'broadcast'.
