BBC3 will be axed: BBC4 to be saved

BBC Director General Tony Hall sparked speculation last week, when he told a convention that he wasn't going to try to achieve cuts through 'salami slicing' but that he was willing to make the 'difficult decisions'. This led commentators to conclude that he meant either the demise of BBC3 or the death of BBC4.

Now reports are claiming that it's BBC3 that's set to face the axe.
