The problem here is definitely perception. Odd that many have lived here for many years and aren't noticing any difference and some have. It's clear that this is a real problem for some posters but also clear that many genuinely don't think anything has changed and don't see that there is a problem.
I'm with the OP. Losing BBC4 would be awful - it's precisely what a public service channel should be and doesn't chase big audiences or the next trend. The idea of BBC3 was ok but the reality most of the time was rubbish. Trying out some of this stuff online is fine, it's where we'll watch everything in the not too distant future.

Yes, I'm puzzled at the "arrogant" comment. Some of us are genuinely baffled as to why this is such a problem for some. I've lived here since the mid 90s and it's no better or worse now than it was then.
I'm happy with things as they are (assuming services work properly!) Loads of buses, great rail connections, overground at DH and PR. I hate the tube, so I'm quite happy to use it as little as possible.
