The BBC's Director of Children and Education Patricia Hidalgo admitted that despite continued efforts to keep producing content, 'the broader children's media landscape is in decline'.

The article from MSN discusses the decline of children's television in the UK, which is leading to a generation of children losing touch with British culture. It highlights that the reduction in dedicated children's TV programming has resulted in fewer opportunities for kids to engage with content that reflects British values, humor, and traditions. This shift is attributed to several factors including budget cuts, the rise of streaming services, and a focus on more universally appealing content that can be sold globally. The article notes that iconic shows like "Blue Peter" and "Newsround" are becoming less common, and with them, the unique cultural references and educational content they provided. Experts and former TV producers express concern that without these shows, children might grow up with a diluted sense of national identity, missing out on shared cultural experiences that were once a staple of British childhood.
