Dear Sir/Madam,

I am emailing you about my views on the CBBC channel. I personally think it is a waste of space. They just put on 'back to backs'   (their word for not having anything else, so lets try and fob the kids off by playing the same programme all day but giving it a special name so they think it's good).
The age range, from what I can see, is   5-11 and maybe some infantile 12-15 year olds. It needs to have good programmes on it (eg channel 4 has popword, The O.C. etc). But I can hear the BBC saying it now:'We don't think teenage programmes would be suitable for our age range.'    Exactly. That's why they need to get them because it's all just Tracy Beaker (and 'u get me' if you're lucky), so the age range is tiny. If the BBC want to succeed on digital, they should replace it with a music channel, with music videos (no Ferne Cotton trying to make jokes and saying how much she loves McfFly every 10 seconds).

I hope I will help you to  talk some sense into the BBC.

From Camilla
