Off topic comment alert I have to type this or my brain will explode! It depends what you count as a BBC channel. BBC1 and BBC2 can broadcast all day long, as can the news channel and BBC Parliament. BBC3 and BBC4 share time with CBBC and CBeebies respectively - that's why sprogvision goes off the air at 7pm and BBC3 and BBC4 start then. There is a case to say that they are two channels rather than four. There's then BBC Alba, which you can get on satellite, but nowhere on Freeview (not even in Scotland), and isn't totally run by the BBC. There's also BBC HD, which shows the same thing as one of the other ones, in HD. Then there's the red button streams - one on Freeview, six on satellite and cable.
Thanks for reading, you've been a wonderful audience. Don't forget to try the veal and tip your waitress. We now return you to the topic

I have to agree there, especially when the religious programming could easily go to BBC2.
