Programmes will be dropped from digital station Radio 7 after it emerges that average age of their listeners is 48
The BBC is to axe more than 1,000 hours of children's radio programmes on digital station Radio 7 after it emerged that the average age of their listeners is 48.
Programmes will be dropped from Radio 7, which is being rebranded as a BBC Radio 4 spin-off station, Radio 4 Extra.
They will be replaced by more "family-friendly" content aimed at older children and their parents, as well as a daily 20-minute CBeebies radio show online.
In another change, the BBC will make some of its children's radio archive available for broadcast by commercial rivals such as digital children's station, Fun Kids.
