Just so you know, BBC News data not downloading at the moment from Schedules Direct. Obviously HD channel now gone (ridiculous) but we do have an SD version (at least for now). Reported on SD.

The quality on BBC News SD is awful/unwatchable.

I can’t understanding their reasoning. Whilst BBC4 does have more viewers, that channel will be closed down for cost saving in 2025.
The children’s channels have lower viewing figures and I would imagine are more likely to be accessed via streaming.
Then there is BBC Three, with the lowest viewing figures of all and which was brought back to OTA broadcast last year at a cost of £80m.
